smoking by spring? 2020? GET ON IT!
Yeah, yeah! I guess I should do a minor update now that you pulled this from the dead.
Bike was supposed to be done by spring, but work was really slow for the first quarter of this year and so I had to travel thus taking me away from my workshop and my bike.
So in the late spring, I picked up this 1982 GS650E for $800 so I could enjoy the summer on two wheels and not stress about getting the RD built or cut corners doing so. Best money spent. I was gonna do a build thread, but all it would be is me putting gas in it and starting it up. ;D
So in the time since my last update I have been riding the GS and built this:
Anyone who has built one of those before will know what kind of time they can take up and that one is my second.
Also, around mid summer things really picked up in my field and I have been working like a dog at multiple jobs at once and it just keeps getting busier. On top of those jobs, I have my own shop at home where I have a Z1 crank needing to be rebuilt by this weekend and ladder bar suspension put into a buddies drag race truck which his first race of the season is down in Florida in February and he will need to get down early to dial it all in. And I'm still getting calls and emails for stuff
I have done some things on the bike this summer, but yeah, 2020 seems about right! Ha
