Rear subframe to fix Magoo's Hawk.

Picked up a 1st gen xl500 engine at mid Ohio. Time to build another frame from scratch I suppose.

Thrown about $3k at the truck over the last 6mos. Still have a few nitpicky things I want to change, but all the big purchases are done.

I bought this very stock shit box as a run around to replace my Ford Ranger. Only 156k miles on the old girl. Needed a water pump and timing belt. Still need either a turbo oil seal or new valve seals. Not likely to get either for a while as it only gets used a few times a week.

Of course I found the crustiest CL77 on the planet. At least it was only $50

Cool. Looks like it was left out in teh rain after someone punched her in the headlamp. I had a few CB72s and CB77s in the past and a mate of mine used to be big into the CL series. I think I still have a NOS crank for one of those still in its original box.
 
I got a couple things today. The first wasn't actually purchased, a neighbor is moving and cleaning out stuff. He came by carrying this and said I need this for working on the old BMW. Ok....

Ok, ok, the second is a little more fun. @Hurco550 and I took a run down to Re-Psycle BMW Parts south of Columbus this morning. He came away w/ a bag of parts for his airhead and I came away, very unexpectedly, w/ a pair of mufflers for my airhead. They appear to be hand-made and are fairly heavy but appear to have been made out of stainless and need nothing but a good clean/shine. Really, the pix doesn't do 'em justice, they're going to be really beautiful on there.

Scratch another thing off the list! Time to get back to work on the beast.

You might change the word "lucky" to "dumb" if you saw it in person :D

Yeah that thing was very much hated. The frame is busted where the hoop slides in. Luckily I may have a donor frame lined up to repair it. Pretty neat to have a NOS crankshaft on a shelf.

I have a donor CL77 frame already cut apart if you need something. It was bent so I made an engine stand out of the cradle and needed the seat front mount for my CL72. I will gladly cut the hoop/shock sections to the length you need. It was a 66-67 bike.

That would be awesome. A buddy has one I can cut but his is a complete frame, so if yours is cut up that might be a better donor candidate. I'll shoot you a PM.
