Cleaned up and painted the rear shocks with a flexible epoxy paint especially for springs. Had one blown out bushing, so I dug through my pile of 4x4 shocks and found a rubber bushing that fit... sometimes it pays to keep junk around... at least that's what I tell my wife..... ;)

1.) Yes that is ok. I checked on the 01 yz125 and 02 kx250 2.) that multimeter is garbage. Throw it away. Seriously false readings poor contacts. Garbage. 3.) If you want, I can come over, if nothing else just to put a second set of eyes on it. Just text me anytime. 4.) can you email me the...

Shoulder surgery?

Also I imagine I'm perhaps one of the few people you know that's ridden a 300 RR. I wouldn't exactly say it was "explosive" or "pipey" at all, it was pretty much the smoothest 2t I've ever ridden besides yours. I'll be honest my only gripe about the motor on your bike is the lack of top. It...

Well it won't jump as well with no suspension... ;) But it will look cool!

Take it to Donnie at D&K. He'll be much faster

Ok. So I need Sssssommme rear fender. I ride bikes, not just look at them so I'm probably not going to make it a hard tail or completely no fender. I rode with a backpack and felt nervous. So I got a rear fender off of eBay. I need some opinions. VOTE PLEASE #1 Stock. This is ugly...

I've used D&K motorcycle and Pacific Pipe Repair to fix pipes before> both have done a good job with the slight nod to PPR because if you bend a pipe crazy the have a jig for almost every pipe and they can bend them back to original shape. But.... I think if you're going whole hog... you...

Here's the clutch cover before and after polishing. Also the side case I bought off ebay before I cleaned it. My new magic is Mag wheel cleaner: it's got phosphoric acid in it. You scrub it on the Aluminum and wear gloves and a mask, but it pulls stains right out of the aluminum cases.

Yeah I raised this one. I have no earthly idea how us two highly functioning pink hairless apes couldn't fix that other one... lol

If you haven't already, call Jake from Jakes Radiator, he sold his shop to "The Garage" but still works there a few days a week. He's on 200 W. in Bountiful. He is the best for radiator repair. Also, I'll echo the other guys. TBI heads flow pretty poorly compared to vortec heads. There are...

So the space between the seat and tank looked ugly and empty. So I took some sheet metal and hammer formed a piece to cover it. I took a metal working class at SLCC a few years ago and our teacher was this fantastic older gentleman who was an amazing metal worker. He taught me how to work...

You had me second guessing myself, so I went outside and looked :laughing:. It says 699cm^2 on the cylinder :cool: Is it possible they label it a 750? I don't know. Edit from Wiki: "The bike was redesigned in 1984, switching from a rear mono-shock to a dual-shock design, and adding a tear-drop...

Taped out my design in primer. Painted the detail first in Gloss Smoke Grey. Then applied the design (in tape) and painted the whole deal Semi-gloss black. I wasn't as pleased with the paint as I'd like The tape line wasn't perfect. So I went back and wet sanded...

Got new grips and an oil and filter change. The paint on the tank was scratched and chipped and oxidized and flaking. So I stripped it and got it ready in primer.

Almost all the chrome was pitted and scratched, so I pulled it all off and painted it semi-gloss black. Strippppppped Got a new rear tire because this one is starting to dry rot....

Ryan, did you ever finish this moechine?!

I've always wondered what's up with cruisers and bobber and the like, shooooooo, I picked up somebody's project. It's a 1985 Yamaha Virago XV700. Runs fantastic, looks like a garbage can. Perfect. Now I'm no TK1, but I figure if I spend enough time on prep- my paint can perhaps not look...

This one is done. Turned out so rad. I maybe went a little to "whole hog" on it, but I love it so fun to ride.
