If you could choose any bike to turn into a short squatty bob to rip around town, what would it be and why? Something with plenty of parts? Easy to work on? Lots of hardtail kit options? Ideally I'm looking for something 750 or smaller. It's been a while since I've attempted any bike work, but...

You think this might work? Not sure how different the csr is. Sorry I've been MIA. Just hunting for the new starter. Sent from my SM-N915V using Tapatalk

Haha well it's only the beginning... I'm sure it'll get better[emoji16] So i put the hoses on the right nipples [emoji52] Hooked up the battery and attempted to start the damn thing... Nothing. Held the spark plugs against engine case. On the left i saw nothing. Tried to test the right...

Well I feel like an idiot. The hoses were attached at the "overflow" hole there in the bottom when I first got the carbs... No wonder my start-up was a fail. Perfect. Round two tonight. Sent from my SM-N915V using Tapatalk

I should have two clamps for each carb, going to Lowe's soon. The fuel hoses are leaking from where they connect to the carbs so I a small clamp there as well. Sent from my SM-N915V using Tapatalk

Picture overload! Care package, Throttle cable, janky carb intake boots, and my new (to me) vehicle! Filling the 305 up with oil, grabbing some gas, and gonna do the damn thing... Wish me luck. I'll post a video. Sent from my SM-N915V using Tapatalk

Hey dudes. Just letting you cats know I'm alive. Shoulder is doing well. Been doing nothing but ghetto fabricating throttle cables. I finally managed to get them to fit. Got a care package from Desmo! All kinds of good stuff. Most importantly the oil drain plug! I'll the pics soon. All I need...

Broke broke broke[emoji17] waiting on funds Friday and Saturday. had to expense way more than I thought... Until then I'm trying to rig this throttle cable to work. The ends that fit into the slide are way too big. I'm going to dremel them down to look more like the universal ends lol here are...

I may! let me check again when I get home. I'll let you know! Sent from my SM-N915V using Tapatalk

"Woot quick update. Stuff is kind of coming together but just when I think I see myself starting this thing something comes  Bolts came in! Cover and points installed Carb mounts finished! Throttle cable installed. I should've gotten the diy pair. Looks like I'll still have to cut...

What color did you paint the carbs and engine ? They look pretty sweet! Sent from my SM-N915V using Tapatalk

Yeah I definitely didn't have it completely apart the other night[emoji26] might have to research upgrading to another brake that will fit my stock set-up. Haven't looked at the cost of all the options... Got the new shifter installed and the oil filter replaced! Attempted to shift through...

Haha ikr! I'm not really familiar with the anatomy of a braking system. If it's all gunked up in the res will it be like that inside the caliper and lines? I had a hell of a time putting that caliper back together. Couldn't keep the pads separated. I'm pretty sure I did it incorrectly lol...

Went to fastenal for the bolts but they ordered Phillips instead of allen :/ ordered a new shifter for $20 and decided to work on something else! Going through the front brakes! break reservoir Hopefully buy myself some time inside:) Sent from my SM-N915V using Tapatalk
