I don't think it matters who backed over your bike. I would be flipping about it, bent frames are a PITA!

Did I mention that this was the day of completion for this build???

 

[ronnie]

Oh man that suuuuuucks.. Was it bad? Did she just bump it or was it one of those... "bump, oh what was that... my car isn't backing up, let me give my car some more throttle..crunch.. Hmm lets go forward...more crunch. Oh Lets have a looksie now."?

I had just cursed a NUN out.

I guess there was a good side to this. Her insurance payed $1500 for parts and $1500 in labor for this mishap and somehow there was no paint scratched anywhere. Total damage was bent rear sets, bent clip ons, cracked carbs, bent chambers and some scratches on the jugs. Since I did my own labor this meant UPGRADES!!!!
I acquired Spec II chambers and 30mm carbs, an Acewell tach/spedo, Vintage Smoke rear sets, and New Tarozzi clip ons.
The vintage Thomaselli clip ons I had were vintage and no longer available.

She's a beauty Scott. I think it might look even better with a drilled front rotor.

 

[smajure]

Thanks. That's a great idea Maritime

 

[Brodie]

Maybe drill it in a pentagram?

So I live in an apartment and I walked outside the other day to run an errand and there are plumbers on a ladder directly above my bike installing a dryer vent line. I take the cover off my bike and find this!!! They tell me that the "mortar" which was really 2' chunks of brick couldn't have done that because there was a cover on my bike. I asked them where their vehicle was so i could lay the cover on it and throw the bricks at it. Dumb Asses!!

I am trying to figure out better placement for this Acewell tach/speedo. I am replacing the key switch with a keyless proximity sensor to clean it up some. I am thinking about trying to tuck it between the headlight bowl and upper part of the triple tree. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

[ronnie]

I would say from looking at it you willhave to make a bracket using those two bolts in the middle of the triple. That gauge should fit nicely sort of between them but a little above them(obviously). Just make a horseshoe(albiet its a complete circle) looking bracket to sit that acewell in. Something in stainless so you never have to worry about it after its polished..

Hell, Ask Redbird.

Yes, possessed. He hasn't even scratched the surface of the weird ass shit this bike has done.

And I like the pentagram idea for the rotor. That shit's perfect!
