So I picked up a 1982 XR500R for a song and a dance because they couldn't pay me to help them fix their other bike. Last year got it up and running and the bike pulled like a freight train. Ran like a top for about 60 solid miles, got back to the truck loaded and the next weekend when some...

Yeah, definitely following this one..

Helped a family member fix his cb360 a while back and offered this XR as payment. Haven't had time to work on it till now and it's got a couple issues. After kicking it over for about fifteen minutes I got it to fire up and it ran horribly but it ran. Pulled it in the garage started pulling it...

Worst case scenario, doubt it would come to this with all your meticulous work, you have a killer looking piece of art to put up in the house.

Ha ha thanks guys. CC, so you're saying I should take that out of my wedding vows? "I love you more than the 2 restored RD400's and GS1100 lump I passed up when I bought your ring"

Not quite bike related, yet kinda is since I keep comparing it to how many bike parts or motorcycles I could have bought with the money....

I guessed west valley and was not that far off with kearns. Good ol utah.

The bike looks and sounds awesome Kiley!

Thanks Coyote! I used a floor mounted tube roller. Worked really slick although not exactly perfect, I had to adjust the ends a little bit afterward.

Made some new barstools for the house. All the steel is 3/16" for the legs and the rest is 1/8". The center screw is 1" ACME thread and matching hardware with a 1" Wormy Maple top

Na it's the new thing with all the drifters. Uber skinny tires stretched beyond safe limits. Drift Chev 2.0!

I agree you should, this might give you some motivation https://www.youtube.com/embed/zy5rkw4SeP4

Just inherited a new front end for the bobber once I eventually get to work on it. Not sure what it came off of and I will have to do a little wire wheeling to get the info on it.

Not to throw a wrench in the mix but I am pretty sure the BS32 carbs on my 81 gs750 do have cross drilled holes on the jet. I can double check tonight if my memory doesn't bomb out on me. From what I understand tuning these carbs with pods are an absolute mess, so hopefully you get it right...

Usual Kiley fashion, kicking ass and killer ideas. I'm in on this.

New ignition switch because some jackwagon thought my bike should be theirs and the screwdriver and makeshift key they made wouldn't work. My favorite was that they tried to hotwire it by shorting two of the power wires together. :o

I would be interested in something like that. Find a place to mount it on my motorcycle and ride next to people texting/facebooking and just smile! I'm a dick like that.

I might end up going to Motos in Moab this year since it's a four-hour ride from my place. A few buddies of mine went last year and had a blast.

HA! Well played Maritime.
