Why not? it make for some good chit chat. mine (when i buy one) will do warp 10!

Wow, has some one stuck some thing un comfortable up yer arse? lol Your will find that just putting straight through pipes on aint that simple, you will also need to up jet the carbs and all sorts which takes many a day and temper tantrums. Take a look at my Bobber project (link in my sig) what may give you some helpful tips or just a tea break read or even a laugh depending your mood Good going so far tho dude, but unless your just a Harley Davidson wanabie and not going to ride unless there is more than 100% clear sky id put a rear mud guard on, front don't matter much except for MOTs but a rear is a must. Also get rid of those pissing indicators! i have no idea what the Yammy designer was thinking (or smoking) when he / she put them on that bike!

Don't think yours will go that fast if its been standed for too long may need to give her fresh fuel and a good clean.

There is a guy up Scotland with a company called chopperz that will convert your frame to a single back bone for less than £100 look at page four of my bobber project for his web site if thats a route you wanna go down?

As promised here is another Vid, i tried to show the Air filters n see if you could here them sucking in large gulps of air but you cant but you can see the throttle move if that turns you on O and the exhausts will be changing. I no longer like the look of them so once i buy a MIG welder i will sort them out. TURN UP THE VOLUME!!!

Hi Byron and welcome! Has you frame got a single back bone? If so i have a Harley Davidson Soft tail Tank sat in my shed doing nothing if you want it? it has no fuel valve, fuel pump nor fuel cap but these are easy to get on e-bay.

Dont trust her Dave! She's a mega weirdo, Welcome to the group, i looked at you "Location" bit next to your name and just sore SLUT and though thats a great place to live! but then spotted you put a comer in between L & U and seen you live in Utah

Depends what you want doing. Frames will cost roughly £100 £120 all depending who you get to do it, Wheels less than £100

Some times when im keen to get off the line and i snatch 2nd my 650 Draggy hits neutral but im quick to pull in the clutch and snap 2nd then with out using the clutch i go up the box. My advise to you all is, get quicker at getting from neutral to 2nd. look at adjusting your gear lever so that it takes less effort to get into 2nd as it seams like you are not lifting your foot up high enough to engage 2nd, so adjust the lever down. also when your going down the box as your coming to a stop just keep bopping your foot on the lever till you feel the last clunk then your know your in first and if say the traffic lights go from red to green and you have just gone into first and are still rolling you can then just snap up to 2nd. Dont be soft about it either, those levers only snap when the bikes sliding down the road on its side so you being brutal with it aint gunna hurt it.

Well, thanks for the offer but it would prob cost me more in postage than the powder coating itself. Also just a kind bit of advise, i would go to the new members section and introduce your self/ company as you will get more respect and custom this way. At least then we know who you are and what you do rather than you just blurting in and throwing your web site about

Hi And welcome! im from Southampton (now live down somerset)

try your local powder coater they some times can do chroming or there is powder coat powder thats similar to chrome with the added benefit of not rusting.

Yep i Was on average piss tested 3-4 times a month ish when i was in the Army and a mate of mine has the same and he is in the Police force

Bit like a dog on laminate flooring only with a massive drop!

A few quick pics more to come when i start this jockey shifter

Like i say if you miss the arm pit or knee is a very good close second!

Cheers Drewpy, I have just spotted a kit on custom fasteners.com which i will go for. How do the nipples go on then? are they clamped on or soldered?

Right just a quick up date (no pics as work hasn't really started yet due to the weather) The new fender is still a work in progress as the paint keeps blistering (something in the filler) so once thats sorted i can go a head and mock fit it and sort out a sissy bar. The split tanks are in the shed collecting dust till i pay off the wedding and get some sheet steel to make up a new tunnel for them. The next thing thats going to happen is this new clutch set up. I have decided on doing the Suicide shifter with the foot clutch and hand lever. very simple mod to do and i will show you as i go if there is any other complete spanners in this tool box like me thats finds these mods cool? lol The springs under the seat are now in the bin as they where pissing me off so now the seat is hard mounted to the frame and lets me sit nice and low, but im thinking about lowering the bike a bit more via the springs? Stay tuned......................She aint finished yet.

Goodo keep calm and the test will be a walk in the park! I DON'T KNOW!? THINK ITS WHATS IN THE TEA!!!

Well we been having problems in the bed room, so she sends me to the docs to get checked out, but i don't think she was impressed when i came back with slimming pills! I know i should love her no matter what and i honestly can say i do.......i mean for example she fell down a set of steps in town the other day and i didn't even laugh........the pavement cracked up! tho thats different. I also think its bit bad that every time we go to make love she has to fart just to give me a clue, or a bit of talc is needed to show me where the damp patch is, but other than this its quite and adventure banging my wife because if i miss her glory box her elbow or knee is just as good.

No thats your job!

O right thats cool to know, will have to ask my local jobber. Cheers Tasky
