Unfortunately I'm not on instagram. But if there's anyway you could spread the word or something that would be killer. To be honest though, I don't have much hope in finding it.
But yea man, If you end up picking up an extra project I'd love to take it off your hands for you. A 360 in a 175...
Guys. Shit.
So I live in an apartment in Atlanta and had to park my bike in their parking deck. Over the winter I had been doing minor things here and there and was moving along, albeit slowly. I had stopped the leaking and was on my way towards starting it fairly soon. Well. Last week I went...
Ok so I ordered a ton of parts like 2 weeks ago and they still haven't arrived. So not a whole lot to update y'all on thus far.
I have the good fortune to live in Georgia where only a bill of sale is necessary to register a bike of certain age. Which mine qualifies for. But you're probably...
Alright so I took some pictures with my phone, not the best quality, but pictures nevertheless.
Here's the 250 as she sits in her new home.
This is the better 360 motor. It appears to be out of a 1972 RT3. I think.
Before minor cleaning:
After destroying a wire brush and a scotch...
Ok just a quick update. My camera hasn't been working so I don't have any pictures. Maybe I'll go out with my camera phone and snap a few a little later today.
But anyway, I went and picked up the bike. Not too terrible. Looks like there's some broken parts and some hella jerry rigged stuff...
I'm definitely gonna try to snag a 360 motor when I meet up with the guy this evening. I have no idea what he's got so I don't necessarily have any expectations, but we'll find out soon enough.
Makoto, after reading through your build thread I am going to take special care in making sure I have...
Once again, super killer bike. I was planning on ordering a clymer, but wanted to be extra sure and check the vin before I end up ordering the wrong manual. That cross country trip looks so fuggin cool man. My buddy and I are actually planning on something like that for next summer. So...
Brad, that expansion chamber is nuts haha. Looks like it would have run like bat though. It's pretty badass you replied to my thread, your RD is actually one of the bikes that got me interested in yamaha 2strokes. That monoshock is pretty killer too man. It's too bad you got rid of it haha.
Holy friggin killer bike dude! That thing is baad! That is going smack to the top of my list of inspirational bikes. If I could get anything close to that I would be ecstatic. Little 2stroke street trackers are so friggin killer.
Also, I really appreciate all the links. I'll definitely be...
As long as nothing changes, tomorrow evening I will be the owner of one horrible piece of dookie.
I've been a member over here for a little while but have yet to make the dive into motorcycle building. Finally, I have reached that point.
After scouring the Atlanta motorcycle section of...
I really appreciate it everybody. As far as those bikes i had actually already been scouring craigslist and saw some good deals, the only problem is my increasingly empty bank account. Just got to get some money rolling in before i can make a purchase unless its like under a couple hundred...
Yinzer, I'm sure that i should be a little bit more picky when it comes to looking for a project, but honestly anything in the realm of old standard bikes that would be cheap enough would be awesome. Ive had my mind set on an rd350 or something along those lines but right now i would take...
I really do appreciate that Deviant. Any and all help would be absolutely wonderful, and i would certainly be eternally grateful. Yea its kinda funny i love old westerns and being in the south is totally my thing, but country music just makes my ears want to bleed. Anyway thanks again!! Makin me...
I really appreciate it fellas. It's nice to know that if i do end up finding a project that i might not be ENTIRELY over my head and that i might be able to find solitude in the knowledge of those that have come before me. Deviant, i didnt even notice the regional section, so i just went ahead...
Name: Timmy K
Location: Technically, Marietta GA. Going to school near downtown ATL though
Occupation: Student/Pizza delivery driver (maybe yours, so tip well ;))
Bikes: God I wish. Hopefully gonna try to find a project soon-ish.
General: as you can see just joined up today. Going to school...
So, as much as I have dreamt about rebuilding/restoring an old Japanese bike, I shed a tear when I say I have yet to get my hands on anything. Granted, even if I were to scrounge up enough money (being a broke college student doesnt help) I would have neither the knowledge nor the resources to...
