I dont mean to resurrect an old thread, but I too am wondering about riders in this area. I'm in Aztec NM, any riders in the Farmington area?

I have had a steady stream of parts coming in over the last 2 weeks. A few days ago my wheels came in and I started working things out for fitment. My seat spring brackets also came in, and i felt now was a good time to do another general mockup. I ran down to my work and grabbed some used...

Here's what I'm working with: And here's the reverse levers, which i think are the coolest things ever!

The frame is brown, swingarm is black, fork lowers are black Tax return and a sold bike freed up some money to do some ordering. Heres the plans: - Wheels - Drum brakes front and rear with all black wire spoke wheels. I found a CB360t 18" rear wheel, and a SL350 19" front wheel. They should...

Hey everyone! I'm looking to make a low slung, fast looking, cool bobber/racer type thing. I use the word "type" in this instance because it'll be a little different than what people think of when they hear the words bobber or cafe racer. I thought about posting this in specials and this was...

Up next is some skirting for the gap below the seat and above the side covers, removal of that hideous flat black paint on the front wheel, and a couple little odds and ends. Maybe some saddlebags too!

Hey everyone! I just happened to stumble upon a listing on craigslist for a "Honda 200" with no pictures and a price of 200 bucks. According to the ad, it ran, and that's all I needed to know! Messaged the guy and set up a meeting the next day to check out this thing. This is what greeted me...

Wow, very nice!

Engines open, mating surface is gouged. :( Half of the oil ring is missing too! guess ill go fishing. Man, what a punch in the nuts!

well, i began to take the bike apart tonight (been busy with work). I discovered the source of my oil leak right after I removed the starter. One of the piston rings snapped and is lodged in the gasket area, sticking out for the world to see. Dammit, I was not expecting that. I was careful...

Yeah, i figured it may be the gasket itself. Im just going to go with an OEM gasket or Vesrah just to be sure. The gasket kit was convenient, thats all :( See, this is why I ask here. You guys always have something I would have never thought about! Yet another thing to add to my list of stuff...

Hmmmmm, I dont remember. Its been a while. I think it was the NE brand in the blue packaging. I think it came with the bike

Im back! Just went and grabbed the bike from its summer home while I was away. First thing is to pull the engine (again) and open it up (again) and see why its leaking from the cylinder mounting surface. I know I didn't knick it or gouge it when cleaning the surface, and I know I torqued...

Me too. I just hope nothing goes wrong with it while I'm away for work this summer. Knowing Murphy's Law, it will, hahaha! Everyone take care, ill see you all in late August

Yeah, it felt good to see that.

He is planning on keeping it. He bought it YEARS ago, from a friend of his in NY. It sat in a field just rotting away, and he really wanted to ride it, so I know he wont sell it anytime soon. I also know that once he takes it for a spin he will absolutely love it! When he saw it, he just kept...

Thanks guys! I had the Sears badges, but they were HUGE! In the end I just left them off, if Lou wants them I'm sure I could find them. There was a few things I couldn't find to complete the bike. Sent from my HTC Desire 510 using Tapatalk

Today was the day. Lou came and picked up the little Puch. Hes going to be displaying it at the Old Pueblo Trolley open house. They do restorations of old city buses (think 20's and 30's). Apparently there's going to be some sort of classic car show as well. Anyways, hes incredibly happy for...

Oh I definitely will! Living out of wall tents and teaching boy scouts about archaeology. The good life :)

Thanks for the link, I'll look into them. So, I'm going to need to do some more engine work it appears. Also, I'm pretty sure I'll need to do the valve seats. Left cylinder smokes. I've checked and adjusted the valves, checked and adjusted the points, synched and cleaned carbs... Still giving...
