Metal working


Still need a bandsaw and a welder.......

手術うけたばっかり

Don't look at me like that! Much better than having illegitimate little moyou's with one of the moron pit's in this hood! You know they ain't payin' no child support.......

俺が学校で教えている間、模様が妊娠しないように手術をうけた.
痛み止めも飲んでいるし、かなりぼーとしてる。
早く元気になって!
そして、その目で俺を見ないで!手術があなたのためだぞ!妊娠の方がこわいぞ!

Chimp

Needs new front tire for sure. . . . front brake? maybe..... Grips are going to change too.
Tank will get chrome side cover things and rubber knee pads like the CL. The seat is fine for now. I want to try to make on with less padding and a brown cover.
I need to make a good license plate holder and rework the wiring for the swithes and mount the tank different. I might put a MT bike speedo on this too. . . .

This is the first stage of "legal". I can ride it. Some stuff needs to be attached better. Front tire is sketchy. Still needs paint and cleaned and some of the wiring moved/redone but I can ride it down the street! As soon as the other engine is done and the CL is reworked this engine is coming out for a much needed rebuild too. My neighbors hate my bikes.........

Back to nature


The trees in my backyard have been beautiful lately.
Three P's: Plum, Peach, and Pear. I have big expectations for the plum this year......the peach killed it last year and the pear was my biggest tree when I planted them but almost died.....now it is getting bigger. I bet I won't get anything on it for at least another year or two.

Saturday

Cleaned an area to work, pulled the top off....
Everything looks good so far...nothing out of place....
Pistons and piston rings doing their job nicely....
Put it back together and guess what! Same problem. Why is it so hard to turn over and where the hell is my compression.....I am stupid. Second time I've had this apart...this time was easier but still....
Now it just sits on my work bench mocking me.......guess I'm going to have to pay somebody. They better agree to show me what I did wrong....or what is wrong....
This was the start of a 12 hour garage session on Saturday. I need to set a timer and stop after 6 so I can function the next day.

C110 tank, finally. . . .



These are small, skinny and kind of square. (like me I guess.....) I am not into the color though......need to take it to one of those places that takes all the rust off (and the paint) for 50 bucks....anybody know what i'm talking about?

New build update...

holes in the clutch cover just for fun.
What do you think? Is a centimeter enough clearance? SOOO close....
I think i will run that light on the side. Gotta look up the indiana motorcycle laws again....i think it is just the number plate that has to go on furthest point back.....
I have used this "gas tank" so many times in the last 2 years. Even loaned it out to friends. . . . . .
Check out the seat with the battery on it. I am running this with a battery eliminator but I wanted to start it for the first time like this....... ALL GOOD?
This is tougher to kick over than my cl........bad rebuild? better compression? hard to hold handlebars and kick? Probably a little bit of everything. Gave up for today. . . . . got it to backfire! (sounded like an explosion. Just about made ben piss his pants.....)

Oops I did it again.

Somebody needs to block the craigslist on my computer before I ruin my life. Back up to 8 deep. After working on much older bikes that kick over first try all I have to say is TopDeadCenter is super annoying.

Still going

Need a tank and a tune.
