Motorized Frankenstein

I had to hear it run once the carbs went on

 

[Maineiac]

She runs! When they say you should prime the oil pump, you should prime the pump. Even after she was primed, I still had to wait for oil pressure to come up. This was the first start.

This makes me really want a 750. Great work so far, can't wait to see the final product!

I'm at sea now, earning the coin so that I can continue to play I'll be building up a new (even better) shop when I get back, so it may be a little while on the updates. I intend to finish the wiring and put down the paint on the tank and front fender, since I already have the supplies for this and won't have to spend more cash. The last big purchase will be the rear shocks. Then, just have to work on buttoning her up, tuning, and fixing an oil leak in the tank I (kinda, but won't be a problem cause I purchased a new TIG welder and plasma cutter!) welded.

Some brakes all sorted out... Kinda a pita.

Drilled and lightened...they're very nice.

 

[LaynDoor]

Im in! This thing is bad ass! love the carbs... and nice mix of polished aluminum and flat black... love it.

Here's how they look on the bike. Totally sets off the front.

 

[Maineiac]

Finished buttoning up the dual disk setup. Early forks kinda suck. Slapped together a seat pan, wired the thing, and stripped the tank.
