Ha, I wish. The Monday after barber I got put on mandatory 13's. I roll out at 7:45 in the morning and get back home at 9:15 or so at night and ive been out of town every weekend since as well. I have a bunch of parts to put on, just no time to do it. I did fire it up one night when I got home last week, and it spewed massive amounts of fuel out somewhere between the fuel pump and the carbs, so ill have to get that sorted haha. Ill get it done, and it may be at Meltdown this spring, and if I still own it, it will be at barber next year. If you cook red beans and rice again I may just let you ride it
APEX will make them any length you want with whatever end fitting you want. I have bought a few sets from them for different bikes and they were all custom and well priced. And they are quick.
I know what you mean though. I got back from Barber and fell into Bathroom Remodel Hell. I've barely been in the shop at all.
But hey, if you decide to sell her, give me a Heads Up
nothing major, but as far as the state of Ohio is concerned, I officially own this bike. The only bummer is the guy I bought is off of, his ex wife (who's name the title was still in) put an odometer discrepancy on it, because she didn't know what the actual mileage was. Once they are on there they are on there for good. grrrrr Its a real shame because its a relatively low mile bike with under 22k on the ticker..
Excellent news! You'd better mount up those knobbies and go around the block! (You could go riding here, you won't need knobbies and it was in the 70s the last two days. ;D )
Got a little work done tonight. Got the rear shock pulled and am working on a swap with a cbrf4i shock. From what I've read, the stock shock was the major downfall to these early vf's from the factory (besides the ones with the soft cams). I keep realizing why I tend to like the older, simpler bikes. These things are like cars on two wheels. Everything is packed in close with no clearance.
I think I'm gonna try to give this vn800 shock a try.
I cut down the top spacers from the original shock to center and sleeve the new shock.
Cut the clevis tube from the original shock down, then made a spacer to bring it out to the right length.
Bored a hole to center it on the vn shock boss
Gonna glue it all together tomorrow. Probably going to leave the original shock ears on to weld to. It may look hackish, but hey I'm a hack and it will give me extra meat to weld to, and no-one will see it anyhow.
Funny how a 1937 south bend lathe still works getting a Honda interceptor back on the road.
