Mate that's cool! Where'd you get it? Wonder if I can pick one up cheaply over here as that would help me out with some stuff I want to do...

I know - it is an awesome find!
Got it at Harbor Freight - I was about to make my own when I came across it shopping fro other tools.

Got me some new rubber!

Even though I don't really mind setting points, I bought a Pamco to try it out.

 

[Basement rat]

Let me know, I might get one for my boat.

 

[Swapmeet Louie]

Pamco stuff works well! And Pete gives great support!

Cool, Idk if 350s are similair to 360s with the mounting but you can check my build thread, towards the end, to see how I installed mine to my bike. Since it has 2 eyes. Nice bike stand btw, I really want to make one.

 

[sasquach]

I think I have an idea how I'm gonna do it but I will check out your thread . On the stand it wasnt to bad only too an afternoon and some scrap wood I had laying around .

Set of 36mm Clip ons for the bike! Not sure yet if it's exactly what I want, but I'll toss them on soon to find out!

Ok I'll play again......

Damn near as spotless as it looks in the pics;
81 XV920rh (chain drive) with fresh fork seal, petcock rebuilds, fresh paint, newer tires and no rust...at all. Oh!!! and a recently rebuilt engine. I'm going to have to dig into it, it's way punchier than it has any right to be though any XV above a 750 has pretty decent torque.

I have plans.....cunning and dangerous plans. Plans involving a midget, some gunpowder and a mallet....oh wait, those were the OTHER plans....

For this one, since it's a nearly perfect, 100% runner, I'm gonna cut it up.
hehehe
It'll go in stages,
First stage will lose all the useless fluff possible and will gain spokes alloy wheels, 40mm Showa forks with emulators and racetech springs since I have them on hand and probably a nice Ohlins shock I also have laying around. It'll need to be resprung but that's ok. It'll fit up almost directly and will boost the ass end a couple inches which is needs to combat a 29* front rake. I'll run the Showas up front around 1" shorter than stock to start with, this should yield something more like 26-27* which is more acceptable. I have a line on a TR1 seat which is similar to the one in the pic but thinner and in my mind better looking...plus it isn't gonna cost me anything! I have another RH in storage that has a servicable MAC 2-1 that will likely end up on this with some VM40s for stage one.

Stage two is where things get interesting........

I have lusted for a good RH to build from as I had one very VERY briefly in '88 and enjoyed it for the whole two weeks I owned it. It was stolen from a buddies locked garage. I think he was shady....

ps: forgot to say, I stole this bike. Even with a couple hundred in diesel to go across the state thru the snow it was far FAR too cheap to pass up. Helpful hint: Buy your bikes in the fall/winter in snow country.

Just received my Oil Cooler for my XS750 Cafe` build.... US$50 odd bucks... delivered to Australia.. not bad... brand spanking new

If you need one for your build.. they seem pretty decent oil cooler for the money... here's the jump if you're keen for one also:

It's an electrex (?) rr24 unit which should right plug in. But as I am doing a whole new wiring job on the bike I will have to work it out on my own. Currently I am in the process of gathering parts and ideas so not much wrenching at the moment.

best regards
