Still working on the bike, haven't dropped it, job is starting to pay out now, so I'm going to swap out the piston rings and pistons, engine casing and the rest will come later, but my priority is having the thing run again. Anyone know where I can get the casing for the 83 or 84 GR650 Tempter...

Got me a job now, able to continue my project for the next season; starting work on my bike soon. Might use that idea for the battery mount, similar to my model.. this a year later ('85) H.Rebel. Thinking of the similar color theme here, black everything with silver accent, though; I want it...

That's really clean. Love that clean, original look, authentic to the bike; yet, it's custom. Amazing project man, just saw the last pictures. Love the handlebars curves, looks really original.

It happened Tuesday, referred me to Ready Honda on Dundas n'Dixie. Need to pick up some new parts, so it's time to start 'scrounging n'saving' I mean, what's the difference? I ain'got no money to start.. .. surprised I even'ave this project to begin with. Nice.. sandpaper eyes galore, ladies...

4 mechanics.. told me.. that my engine, is the most complicated situation they've all ever heard of. More-so than every completely rusted out piece of machine, than they've seen, ever. He damaged nothing, but an old bolt, and an already-needing-replacement case. He did what I paid $30 for...

Thanks to Trevor Daley at http://www.onespeedchopshop.com/ The Jugs are off! Just cleaning stuff, don't have all the tools to continue everything else.

Nevermind on that little light.. it's a tiny little 2.4w "bike lamp" and I'm looking for something a bit nicer, so.. any suggestions?

I'm actually 6'2" myself; to boot, I'm using Ape hangers. 1. Solo-Seat w/Ape's pushed forward for comfort 2. Solo-Seat pushed back w/straight-up Ape's 3. Chopper Seatw/Fender and Ape's pushed back to help me lean into it, but ...the thing with that, is.. I don't know, or how often I'll...

Congratulations.. you've done a damned fine job! You really did get me going again on my bike.. so, I guess a "thank you" is in order? Thank you.. a lot.

Pablo, you make this trade look easy.. and you inspire me to work on my own GR. SICK video by the way! Sounds real nice passing by.

What bike model.. this one? I'd totally trade if it's for a GR650. It's almost perfect condition. I'll give you the locks for it too! Send or show me to some pictures. Does it come with the spring set and mounting bracket? There's mine.

Girlfriends father made through.. found one at work! Unfortunately his sandblasting booth is too small, but it's totally alright with me. I'll find a way around it. How's your bike going?

I got the nut from the suspension bar out.. how did you pull yours off? Is it threaded, needing a 14mm Hex, or did it drive out with a bang?

Need a 14mm Allen Key, or an InHex 12mm SW to take this off. Last thing holding me back before sandblast. (which I've been given the chance for free)

First of all, I forgot about this forum. Continued on my project since 2 weeks ago, huge progress, in my opinion. I live in Streetsville, th'heart o'Mississauga, ON, for those curious. It's my first bike. Already named'er Friday for all the weekends I've spent day-dreaming, staring at the...

This post inspired me to continue work on my 84 Tempter.

ktriple found you a good link. Buying universal that fits exact specifications will most of the time be better than buying specific, as people charge more for specific. These parts usually run around: bolts, nuts, fasteners, handlebars, grips, some seats, sprockets, some gears, tires, etc.. but...

Something reccommended to me by a friend who's had problems with engines on his cage was to get it "Hot Tank'd" by a local professional... any input on this possible decision? I await responses rather impatiently, as I really wish to get'er up'n running before summer. Riders Depression is...
