All I have to say after tonight is fuck xs650s.
Compression? Check
Spark? Check
Fuel? Check
Valves? Check.

Still no run. It ran for a minute last night and now it won't fucking run again I hate this thing.

Tomorrow I'm working on the sr

Check fuel is in the bowls. Rebuilt a bike once that I couldn't get started for 6 months. Took it to a buds house, he tipped it on its side, fuel pissed out of the bowl overflow, 1/2 a kick and it fired right up.

Been distracted with other bikes lately.
Since I want to burn them all in a raging inferno currently I did a little work on this.
I really want to get this wrapped up soonish so I'll be working on it a lot more.
Anyway, fender:

That metal was stupid thin and hard to weld so fuck off on the shitty tig work there haha.

Here she is all mounted up:


It will get the full weld treatment once I tear it down for finishing and I'll blend all the welds so it looks nice and pretty

Also got the exhaust wrapped up (yep, if you don't like it well....kiss my ass )


And finally got around to cleaning the shop and building another bike table

Look deeper into the picture your eyes deceive you 8)
Theres also 3 cb360's in boxes in there somewhere haha.

But they aren't all mine, the 125 and cm400 belong to a buddy, and the gs500 to another.

That's a nice shop, sir.

 

[Redman420]

Go ahead burn them all.

 

[oldskool]

isn't there suppose to be a sr500 in here somewhere?

 

[SONICJK]

Well not a lot to report
But I did get my tail light decided upon.
I ordered a 18 Watt 6 CREE LED offroad light that puts out 1400 lumens (read brighter than hell)
Then some Ricer Tail light decals in red, stuck them over the lense, trim to fit and whalla:



Should effectively blind anyone that follows too closely. And more importantly alert EVERYONE on the road to my presence.

Also there is now an english wheel and a shrinker stretcher in the shop so tank build coming soon.

 

[Drey6]

Stoked to see the tank.

I have been looking at CREE lighting for aux driving lights on the BMW.

What do you think of it?

They are awesome. Incredibly bright and this one was cheap and seems really well built, solid aluminum body.
Haven't had a chance to drive with one but I'd imagine it will light the way really well.

Wheres the obligatory powered on picture?

We want to see the driver blinding light.
