one of my favorite all time threads on the forum. pure gold.

 

Haha thanx. The build was fun and its still rippin and reliable so guess I cant complain.

 

Still think you should put the oil bag ( that round one) behind the seat CT

 

I have shifted gears to less important stuff like the front tire, chain etc to start the new season right hahaha

 

As you probably should. Maybe Ti material made chain and rubbers lol

 

So I didn't tell you guys that the custom cap and bolt I had made for the gixxer steering stem gave out after 4 years of use. The bolt snapped. So I pulled the front end off the bike and brought the triple tree to the fabricator. He made up a new one but went more heavy duty. All back together and on the road. Only whacked me $50!!!��




The new heavy duty cap and bolt on top of the steering stem





Back together and ready to rock!!!







****in bulldog!!! HAHAHA

 

So did anybody go up to Lake George for Americade last week?? I went up on Thursday, got drunk, slept on a concrete patio and road home Friday! Almost got laid too, almost hahaha


Anyways, bike ran great up and back

 

Sweet man! Glad your having fun with that monstrosity!

 

So I don't know if I ever mentioned that I was having trouble with my starter since last fall I think. Hit the start button and it would spin and then catch. It got progressively worse and my buddy said it sounded like a bad " starter clutch". So he had a starter for a diff year laying around and I switched out the starter clutch, problem not solved. Then I switched the starter motor, same problem. Sunday the dam thing finally conked out. So I finally bought an ultima high output starter on flea bay for $114. Guess what was here when I got home?? Yippy...install tomorrow. Can't wait

 

Hey, let's hope it works this time LOL. Great to hear from ya CT!
