Re: XS400 El' Pescado Loco little progress...

No... haha But, they all ran before the snow fell. It's 27 out side. I figured it was a good time to get some work done.

2 are here for service, and El' Macho Borracho is getting a re-paint so the tank is off. But yes it runs.

The cb400 is a build for a customer. And the xs650 is my buddy Jeffs. It's here just for some basic maintenance. And it runs.

Dick!
 
Re: XS400 El' Pescado Loco little progress...

27 degrees is pretty horrible man, I bet the bike voluntarily go out of service for winter haha.
 
Re: XS400 El' Pescado Loco little progress...

is the macho barracho an alcohol fuel system, or is it just the operator?
 
Re: XS400 El' Pescado Loco little progress...

As far as the operator goes, it seems the alcohol is more of a performance inhibitor to minimize any top end shennanigans. Kinda like a liquid govenor.
 
Re: XS400 El' Pescado Loco little progress...

Ha! Crescent you crack me up!

Pawn, it's just a dumb name my buddy and I came up with.
 
Re: XS400 El' Pescado Loco little progress...

i figured, i was just kidding around. Estoy borracho cuando no estoy con la esposa! But not really, cause I don't drink that much.
 
Re: XS400 El' Pescado Loco little progress...

Thanks

looks good man! I'm diggin that color


Thanks man! it looks great in the sun light. All my pics are from my phone. So I dont they they do it justice...?

Hey I wanna have a little get together for the Boise Area DTT'ers @ my house. Just a little meet'n'greet. Whatcha think? I'll sent out some PM's and see what kind of response I get.

So, today it's clean Carbs and got the motor back in so I can finish my exhaust and foot controls. All the controls are going to be on the left side... haha Should be wacky to ride the 1st time! Wating for the gagrage to warm up now.

Will get some pics up later...

And hey, thanks to every one that has been supportive of our little build-off. Some may think it's about getting an ego stroke and what not. But the fact is. It's just some fun between 3 fella's that have been dicking around on DTT together for a quite some time. And it's a great motivational tool to keep progress going on our bikes. It will most definitely ensure that the 3 of us are on the road by spring. Which is my favorite part. And if I can make it back east. There will more than likely be a part 2. The bike rodeo. Part one is about aesthetics, part 2 will be performance, handling and rider ability. Such as: A dirt drag, Maybe a barrel race/small oval? And a we should do a wheelie and burnout contest too!
 
Re: XS400 El' Pescado Loco little progress...

Oh and one last thing... Swagger you better give me some feed back, whether it be bad or good. Your hurting my feelers... Ha ha
 
Re: XS400 El' Pescado Loco little progress...

Ha ha ha... Im down for whatever man. And ya, this isnt about ego or any crap. Just havin' some fun.
 
Re: XS400 El' Pescado Loco little progress...

For me, the best part of the Build Off is motivation. I am a natural born Procrastinator, so the build off forces me to get out and do some work. Having a deadline is a good thing for me. A very good thing.
 
Re: XS400 El' Pescado Loco little progress...

I just like one stop shopping on my updates from the group thread. I'm gonna start only commenting on the build threads to talk smack about the other guys. :D
 
Re: XS400 El' Pescado Loco little progress...

Got quite a bit done today... So I figured it was time for one last final mock-up. Here is a pic. I didnt realize there was a grease smudge on my camera lens. Which made it into every picture. Sorry for the blur. I will post a few more pics in the build-off thread.

Thanks for looking people....

Oh, did I mention Indiesol is a bad-ass...? Well, he is...
 
Re: XS400 El' Pescado Loco Final Mock-up!!!!

looks awesome man! The exhaust is slick. The tank sets it all off I think.
 
Re: XS400 El' Pescado Loco Final Mock-up!!!!

My limited badassery can't compete with this bike.


It looks like it wants to kick your ass. Then, while you weep, steal your girlfriend.
