Been Around the Block
So I've pretty well familiarized myself with the forum I think, and have already introduced myself. So I gues now is the point where I start my build thread.
I hope yall enjoy!
The bike was a throw away that I got for free about a year ago from a customer at my parts counter.( I was a parts manager at a big metric dealership here in austin for 4 years, now i am the finance mngr.) He said his wife was making him throw it out so I volunteered.
I neglected to take pictures of when I got it so my teardown was pictureless.
So currently I have a blasted frame, motor with a fresh top-end, ported polished head,
ceramic-coated internals and outer surface's from the jug up, a rusted out tank(which i'll get into)....Also I have a fresh set of mikunis and pods.
So what I have accompished today.
1. Finished chopping/smoothing the subframe.
2. Dented the sides of my rusty tank. I decided that I would do some experimenting with it and if it didnt work out, Screw it....but I really like the way its looking so I'm going to try to seal it up.
3. Reassembled my speedo with a new decal from sonreir.(kinda lost on how to get the ring to stay?)I'll post some pics of this tommorow.
Here are some pics........
