Nevermind the photoshop.. Modify it or keep as is?

I tried looking at the pics but they're like postage stamps. Keep it as is for now. If you want to mod it, don't do anything that isn't reversible.
 
Just scored this sweet one!!

$100.00 with a 1hr drive... No title. But I get titles here in Indiana super easy and only costs $15.00... I may just get it running and resell it or do another custom build with it but I have a lot of projects going on right now... We'll see.
 
See my sr500 build I'm in the exact same boat :) about the same condition when I got it for 100 bucks too.
 
Sonic, I've actually looked at your builds already ;D nice stuff... I buy about 50 bikes every year and I don't do full blown cafe's, brats, etc on all of them. Actually most of them I keep stock but rough ones like this are, most of the time, cheaper and easier to build a custom bike instead... I just delete as many parts as possible, change seat and bars. Mostly small cosmetic changes to get someone close to what they are wanting then sell it and let them modify it as they like and do the performance stuff themselves... I'm working solo now and still have a job with overtime so time is tight... This was my 8th bike this year so far. Trying to take it slower this year working solo... I love all the help, knowledge, and advice from this site on pretty much everything so I try to stay in touch and help out if I can... My personal cl450 has a build thread and I'm about to start one for my kz650 build.

You may find that to no longer be the case. Indiana is finally cracking down on their loose title rules :(
 
Just did one 3 weeks ago... Been the same forever... We'll see, I have 2 more to do and I'll do them within the next two weeks... I will post updates.
 
It's not a purchase as such, but it wasn't cheap - just a new National Record for the STREET 490-740cc class last w/e at Indy

I'm in the Right lane on the Left of the picture.

Now I have to learn how to ride it faster before someone comes to claim it back.

Ive been having a bitch of a time at the branches recently. By law they are no longer allowed to to bill of sale titles anymore, you have to send it downtown now and they haven't been as lenient as the branches use to be. I am in the middle of a battle over a title now and its not going so well.
 
Just got my RAM mount in as well. Seems to work well. The universal holder.......holds. This will be nice for when I want to pull my gps up.

Just got a new carb, jets, manifold, air filter and reeds in the mail for my MB5. The carb is a Mikuni VM20 and looks to be a nice carb. Cool thing about it is you can change the main jet without taking the bowl off, should make tuning much, much easier. Just need to unbolt it from the bottom. Hope to get it on sometime this week to see how it runs.
