Re: Dirty GR- seat is done.
I'm all for it Scott. I kept forgetting this bike wasn't street legal and kept adding stuff to it like it was.......
Speaking of which, I have a rear tire on it's way. By the end of the week I should have a rear wheel laced, tire mounted, carbs mounted, etc. Just in time for winter!

Re: Dirty GR- seat is done.
Back to business. I officially parked the "cafe" for the season and started robbing parts from it. Nothing that isn't being replaced/updated anyway. After mounting up the carbs, throttle cable, and putting gas in it, it roared to life! I couldn't resist ripping it through the yard (sorry about the sideways pics):
And the destruction to my yard. Notice the clumps that got tossed around:
Even with those massive knobs on the rear tire, it loses ALL traction with just a twist of the wrist!

Re: Dirty GR- seat is done.
Oh man, I would ride that bike all over my neighborhood, it is so much fun. Problem is, the open headers draw a little TOO much attention if you know what I mean.
When I bought this bike, it was literally a frame and a bunch of parts. It's nice to feel that collection of bolts ripping up the lawn!

Hey, it's the dirty GR, suites it. Now I am paranoid the 30 bucks I spent on tire irons and lube was a waste and I will still end up going to a shop to get the GL tires mounted. I hope the Shinikos won;t be such a bitch as you described!

My Shinko 005 Advanced tires were a pain.We used one of those Harbor Freight tire changers with the motorcycle tire changing attachments.I worked but we kept the tires under a plastic bin with a heat gun blowing into it.The tire were nearly to hot to touch.We used dish soap as I mentioned earlier.Took two of us to force the tire on.I believe using spoons would have been easier.
Have a read through this website.It documents tire changing in every detail with tips and hints. http://www.clarity.net/~adam/tire-changing.html

Naaaaa.... I've paid to mount 2 tires in my life. You'll use them. Even if it's just "most of the time". haha
