Nice and clean looking. Doesn`t look like it spent 10 years under a tarp. Good save.
I figure I dropped maybe 50 pounds from my R, No more than that. If I am lucky maybe 20 from the F.
Gotta say the R was quite a bit of work and took me all of 5 years as I bought my R just before my daughter was born in 1998, money was tight,...
Well Jesus John :redface:, I`ll just say thanks, leave it at that, and try to give you some answers: F carbs will go straight onto an R...
I don`t ever feel bad about spending $ , or elbow grease, or engineering on a bike I truly love. I hope it lands in the correct places though!
Thanks Ian!
Hmmm. Must have misread one of your previous posts. Thought it sat good with the rubbers out. Is the cush drive from the PO who had it good on his...
Call me silly, but those cush drive rubbers look like they sit tall over the ribs in the wheel, and like they have wear/grind marks?... I have a...

Thanks! I`ll take credit for how the bike looks(I didn`t want it to look hacked at all, I`m a touch picky), but I can`t take credit for the...
Mike and Jamie, Only thing I`ve done recently is powdercoat the wheels, paint/polish swingarm, the CF fender. Finally had to just get focussed...

Thanks, the 1984 R`s(which we didn`t get in the US)also used a similar frame design. The 85-86 R`s we did get in the US did away with the frame...
Shot of the left side for a clear view of the driveline. Also polished the ridge and painted the swingarm. Think I`ll do somethin a bit better for...
Well thanks for that! How is your R coming anyway?
Hell, thought I had posted this here somewhere, oh well, here`s my R: [IMG]
Need to cut off and smooth a couple unneccessary frame brackets, swap in my fairing frame that I cut off the turnsignal mounts, finish my other...
It pretty much has been my weekend rider for the past year of testing my ideas and just having a blast. Not sure what you mean by fork...
Thanks. The quote is from Theodore Roosevelt. It isn`t the motivation(that`s my own issue), but it sums it up for me I think.
Just wanted to post a thank you for all the positive comments. I`ll finish it eventually, just a few details to go...
