A not so new 1972 Jawa 250 Californian for me. She is affectionately known as 'Rust Machine' and needs more than a little love. Build thread to start soon...

Don't let the 'kickstart' fly forwards after you get it running, it can pop into gear
Also, I'm pretty sure that has a clutch lifter on gear change shaft so you don't need to use handlebar lever after it's rolling

I picked up a nice set of handmade brushes a few months back. Need to order some one shot as well. Ill tell ya a little trick a painter friend let me know... When not using the OneShot, store the cans upside down (making sure the lids are on tight ). It keeps the paint from "filming" over.

Thanks for the tip.

I ordered the one shot from Speedwaymotors. (white,black&red) plus a free brush for $33. Thought it was a pretty good price.

And I had it to me in a day! Just wish there was a supplier in town. I think I can get Mack brushes @ O'riely auto.

alright that looks kinda good...makes me kinda want one to put some shit in..

The bag was way to big for the front fork on this bike. Definitely meant for a hog. Works perfect for a side bag without a girly look. Just my opinion......

How is the construction of the bag? I may get a swing arm bag from them for the XV.

The construction is real nice. Stitching is thick. not double stitched but thick thread and the leather is real nice and thick. The buckles are solid, not cheap crap that bends. Hell....it's LaRosa. They make quality gear.

I ended up making an offer on Ebay for this bag (new) and got it for $82 with free shipping.

I had a LaRossa seat on an old chop awhile back. Really nice stuff.

Nice touch with that LaRossa bag. Very practical and looks good.
