The more I look at that pic of the Kawasaki Big Horn 350, the more I want one, dammit. ;D







Fast, foul handling and fat on weight- otherwise a good bike ::)   Given all that I'd buy one if it  were cheap enough.  congrats on being legal....Larry

Here ya go, Terry. Should we pick it up for you and put it in the container?!

That is sweet! Yes I want it, but I think the shipping to Oz might kill the deal Steve, unless you're happy to strip it and send it to me piece by piece? Geez I wonder if that's original paint? Hmmnn, I think I'll go back and look at the pics again, just one more time............. ;D

adding another # to my post count....the CL175 frame has been sent to the painter
along with my 1972 S2 Kawasaki frame. I'm having that painted iridescent green.
The paint does a sort of flip-flop depending on your viewing angle.  ;D

now to tackle them damn carburetors...

I'm back! Well my K&N air filter for my mighty XR500R arrived today, so I thought I better tell everyone here, it's a red letter day! Hmmnnn, now I have to decide whether to install it today, or wait until tomorrow? I mean, why not stretch the excitement over two days, rather than use it all up in just one? I better take a nap and think about it............. ;D

damn, that's a good one, been around for a while too. The reason I respond to every post is because I know everything from not doing anything, and having no life at all.

Yeah, that and  if it was still raining those  would be perfectly good reasons respond to this  thread.

I'm back, fcuk it was cold outside, but I was very brave and spent an hour or so in my driveway installing the new K&N filter, then I flushed the front brake's manky old brake fluid, which looked more like muddy water than hydraulic fluid.

I couldn't bleed the brakes properly until I realised that the bleeder screw in the caliper was blocked, then the air bleed hole in the MC was blocked with crud as well, so I used a jet drill to ream the hole/s, and once I'd done that I immediately had a hard lever. (on my MC...........)

I did think about taking it for a ride, but a few big cold rain drops convinced me otherwise. Friday looks like the best day to do a decent ride this week, as it'll be 60 deg F, woohoo, that's 50% warmer than last Friday when I took it out on it's maiden voyage.

The only thing I haven't been able to address as yet is the leaking kickstart seal, a CB750 seal is 3mm smaller OD so I can't fix it today, but I've ordered a new one, and as it's only a small leak it'll be OK to ride it until the new seal arrives. Cheers, Terry. ;D
