My Daughter's bike, early in the build.

The real shame is it runs fine. Im checking into replacements no luck yet. If all else fails I have some lock tite epoxy thead repair kits I have that I may give a try. Nothing to loose.

 

I'm resonably confident that i got the metal out of there but I may end up pulling the pan at some point.
Went with that light over the 4" duals, my Fazer allready has that look...

 

Nice family photo! We almost didn't recognize your wife since she is fully clothed in the pic LOL !!

Just out of curiousity how much did your daughter pay for the bike?

Rollin

 

She picked it up for $500.

 

After weeks stuck at work & being down with a respitory infection I was able to bake some progress on this thing.
Cleaned up the engine and shot some engine enamel on at, pulled & cleaned the carbs ( they were NASTY), got them back on.



The fiberglass tail is comming along, still messing with the mount for the tail light.

 

So, for lack of better options, I pulled the marzocchi reat shocks, cleaned them up, and pulled the rear wheel and swing arm, This swing arm will need completely sanded down or blasted. I can't get any paint to stick with out a reaction. It will be down to metal friday when I get off work. I wanna smack the guy who jacked this bike up before she got it...

 

Some small progress, got the swingarm repainted. Thats about it. Maybe tomorrow.

 

Looking good. Your daughter has a great dad to do all that. It will look new and unique when your done no doubt.

 

Parts cleaned up and back together. Just in time to rip off the front forks this weekend to do the same.

 

Bite me, Tinker. i have till December on this one! And where were you when I needed Gen3 Carb help?! Damn Slacker.
