TX500 build

ok... well i set up shop outside cause it was 50 degrees... i got the seat sanded down and primed.... still needs to be sanded again and glazed, primed and painted but it was a great start! also finished both sides of the linkage... just need to powder the brake side
(sorry about the crap pics all i have is my cell, girl has the camera in TN this weekend)

went to my brothers last night to watch the fight... finished wiring the chop up... re did EVERY wire in the bike (it was prev wired with F'N SPEAKER WIRE!!!!!!)... got the oil coolers ran, fog lights mounted up and on wiht heel tap push button switch, GPS mount finished, redid the oil lines, all that is left is to wire up the LED's so we can lite that sucker up... (and install the BCT baffels we are going to make work... so prob going to have to jet it), and put back on the chain...
it is coming along great! figured i would post some pics of what we came up with for a GPS mount:
we call it the COCK SLED... it is his bar hopper panty dropper:

I am going to make some pancakes!
 
last night i was telling my dad how i can not WAIT to rip into the turns... he asked me "what makes you think you can rip the turns?"
so i started to list off all the performance work i have done so far:

i got heavy weight oil in the forks [aimsoil](complete rebuild with seals), fork brace, 2 brand new Cheng Shin Tires, new bearings, new pads in front on complete rebuilt caliper and master cylinder with dot 5 fluid, new rear drum pads, and sport performance rear shocks.... this little sucker is going to RIP in the turns! air scoop and oil cooler to keep that motor cool as i am rocking in high RPM's ooh ya buddy! i can not wait! man i did not realize all that i had got done on this sucker!!
 
You're getting close, hopefully you get some decent weather when you get it all wrapped up and ready to go...
 
tonight i got my one of my MAIN worrys out of the way! I got the oil cooler and adapter all finished up! I shaved the side case even more to allow me to remove that without having to undo the oil lines... i used a bit of permatex on the adapter to help give me a good solid seal... came out GREAT! i was running out of stuff to do so i shaved the side cover so the oil lines can get though and then cut out the holes where the screens i am making in the near future will go. Even tossed on the red lenses for the tail/ brake lights (that will stay white)

Nice work JRK! Seat looks great too. That last shot gives me a woody! If I had to pick a favorite shot of the hole build, that would be the one. Have any recent shots of the top of the tank?
 
the front of my harley.... any front turn signal will work, they have 3 lines to them (running, and turn, Ground) all you have to do is hook the running up to the running light for the rear and the brake line to the turn line... swap out for red lenses... done.
I got about 8 sets of front turns from all sorts of bikes i am powdering and slapping on ebay... if i have any with red man your welcome to them, but i dont think i do... some guys will spray tint the lenses, and spray the inner part of the turn sig in red to give it the effect you want... either way works
 
Yeah I have plenty of experience tinting amber lenses red from my VW days. I'm just still really torn on what what to do for a tail light as I like how clean the rear fender looks with out one and the side mount isn't doing it for me.

I'd love to snag a set powdered in satin/matte black if possible. Something similar in size to what you have or even a tad smaller would be great. Let me know what you think a fair price would be and I'll see what I can talk the wife into ;D
 
i def dont have anything smaller, i have a bunch of stock signals off old honda's and Yamaha's... Man i am all about pay it forward... If i have them and you want them just let me know ill send them to you for free man. ill email you a few pics of what i got. you like any let me know and i can take those out of the gloss black batch and i will shoot those in satin 40% semi gloss for you. PM me so i dont forget
 
Dude you rock the house! At least let me send you $10 to contribute to the build or materials or something! Drop me the pictures at jordan(dot)green@hm-motorsports.com. No rush either. Thanks again Joe.

Don't know if it's your thing but I do have a good hook up on vinyl work so if you need some stripes or a set of custom decals cut I'd be happy to trade something like that too!
 
just got back! buddy hooked me up with some ink, after 8 years finally finishing my 1/2 sleeve... 4 hrs in the chair (in his living room) and got the outline done, wraps all the way around the back part of my shoulder... had to call it quits till the outline heals up and i am not so dam swollen... free hand bitches like a real tat is supposed to be done... go in on sat to get the fill and see where else we want to take it... dont want to go past the elbow or on my neck, that does not look so cool in the office... but i am really diggin his work... first time he has inked me up... has a real soft hand on the needle... ooh ya and it goes all the way around the arm not just on the front... coller bone was no joke though! had my toes curling! of course the finished product is subject to change cause we have to tie it into the mess i have had on my arm for a while now... i am big on tribal so went with it...
