I think I have it about how I want it. I just need to sync my carbs, do a fork seal and shop for some new tires.

That is sad, but sounds about par for the course when it comes to Harley fanatics. I remember years ago, working on an oil rig there was a directional driller from down south that bashed on my 1200 Triumph about how slow it was compared to his "custom" Harley. He talked about all the work he...

It is big, I agree. I was thinking about shortening it but if I leave it as is, I still have the ability to reattach the mounting brackets for the side bags if I want to take it on a longer trip. So, at least for now, it will stay this way. I also just wanted to say that the D&D pipes probably...

Well, I have not really been updating this thread. However, that is not the case with the bike. ;) Its about 98% done, I need a couple relays for the headlight, but other than that, I redid the mess of wires in this thing, and everything is all nice and neat now. I HATE messy wiring! From...

Its starting to warm up a bit, so its time to get back to work. I have mocked up the exhaust, I am going to wait on cutting the cans down. I figure I will try it out complete at first, and if I don't like them, then I will cut them down. I can't un-cut them if I cut them first and don't like...

I think these are down draft carbs, correct? If they are, then they won't work on what I want to put them on.

Thanks! I am going to do a little bit more research and see if they will work for me. I will be in touch. Josh

Thanks! Those super IIIs are neat! Here is a link to my thread: http://www.dotheton.com/forum/index.php?topic=23875.0

One sad thing, its spring time, and as of 6am most of our snow was gone. That is not the case anymore... :(

First of all, I am not sure exactly where I should put this build. I don't feel it fits in with the rest of the cafe racers on here, but I am not building a street fighter, either. If admin wants to move it, feel free. I started with a fully faired, overweight 2000 Triumph Trophy 1200. As of...

It started as a Trophy 1200, as of a couple days ago it looked like this: Now, its in many more pieces in the garage. ;) I will start a thread somewhere on here, not sure where I should put it.

I started a build over there, but have been reading a lot over here because I don't think my bike fits in here. :) Its a 2000 Triumph 1200 that I am building into some kind of overgrown cafe racer. I am really looking for an early 70s CB125 or 300 for another cafe build. I am going with Honda...

Thanks! I found this site through a post of yours in the cafe racer picture section of customfighters.com. ;)

Hey, I am a new guy to this site, but not forums in general. Is there a button anywhere that I am not seeing that allows me to view all of the threads that I have notifications set for? I am able to view subscribed threads on other forums (mostly vbulletin), but haven't figured this one out...

Thanks! I appreciate it!
