is that done in wee?

I'm feeling those pipes chris, very nice that's one helluva ride you got there now

got permission to post this xs400 bobber on here from "the chopper underground" cracking bike and used spray paint in the tank and "fenders" what the owner said... Headlight is a Unity Spotlight with a sportster bulb -21" front wheel from a yz125(i think) -Pipes are stock but have had extentions welded on to delete the mufflers -rear fender is a late 30s ford spare ring. Struts made out of flat stock from Menards with bends to conform to the fender and bottom mounts. -Model A light -Split HD tank that had but insides cut, trimmed and welded back together -Duplicolor rattlecan tins and frame. Spraymaxx clear for the tank for gas protection(which has worked really great). I wet sanded and hand buffed the tank. Frame-I cut everything off from the rear shocks back and cleaned up what was left of the frame(tabs, brackets and other crap). I cut the rear "triangle" of the frame and leaned the shocks down until i got the ride height and look that i wanted. I think i took about 3-4 inches out of the top and rear sides. I also pinched the upper frame a few inches where the rear of the tank is. Re-radiused the rear downtubes to work with the pinch which limited my filter choices. I ended up making extentions for the pods with step up exhaust tubing. I made little mounts for the solo seat. The battery was a last minute idea since my lithium battery guy flaked on my for about 2 weeks and i needed power. I really like the mount though. It attacheds to the seat mounts and has some neat curves. I have a new front end with a juice brake that will go on soon too. It's still mostly Yami but just with my twist i guess, haha. Everything has been done in my garage with a MIG, angle grinder, dremel, and other simple hand tools(no air tools yet). I did have my freind TIG the tank for me though since he offered but i made all the cuts and made the shape.

I take it the wheels you have on are not yb100 wheels?

a little drip is nothing to worry about do you mean the clutch by any chance? sounds liek it needs adjusting, take off the clutch cable so nothing is dragging the plates off and try! no cam chain near the starter, the cam chain sits between the cyls and rotates the camshaft. if you mean the starter motor chain, that has nothing to do with the kickstart clockwise raise revs, anti lowers

Its on HD discovery

me and friend Mike OT CBD poss Kev? J2?

another one for the magazine nets? that's the doggs doodahs now get that flat-tracker done

this one? just re-read, CLOCK doh!

oil does piss out if the stator cover is missing when leaned over (don't ask why i know) if you lose oil the bike will get hot as the pressure drops and metal to metal contact starts!

yep Saturday!

no way, A50 through knutsford, A34 stone, breakky little chef A500, ring road, back on A34 Stafford 2 hours. I think you can camp there !

Only going if the weathers ok! meet at McDonnalds 8am. its the first junction after you've gone over the M60 Barton high level bridge (as if you were going to go to the Trafford centre) Neary Way, Urmston, Manchester M41 7FP‎ - 0161 749 9566‎ will post friday pm to confirm OT and captain Fyffe going?

got news here http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/chorley/abbeyvillage/8444106.Motorcyclist_seriously_hurt_in_Chorley_crash/

I was trying to get through yesterday and got turned back, ended up in Chorley, i think it had only just happened

the relay would be normally be rubber mounted

hi sammo, bit forward of you to plug your new forum! we don't know who you are fer crying out loud! We prefer peeps to introduce themselves first before getting anything in return. I'm deleting your plug until we know your here to stay and not just to self promote! drewps

start with who you sold it to

just seen this on i-player I noticed the polish business man who lost his no. plate, was allowed to strap the new plate on the rear in a flat position, I think that answers my much earlier question about having my tracker plate angled up (and Vez's concerns)

too much Galava methinks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0U38KpOyeXM&feature=player_embedded

here's another cool kicker

just googled Mervin + North devon and this came up ... get sent stuff all the time

Foams, I've found that annoying tap you were on about

they all do that sir, tapered bearings are always a couple of mill higher, just make sure they are seated. If you can get rid of any thing that may contribute to that, take it off. I had to take off a sealing ring on my xs to fit mine and they were still a bit high

this is funny, especially his foot in the jug at the end
