first off... i'll be drinking myself silly to recover from senioritis!
tomorrow, i may clean my new bank of carbs for the 92 zx7r and install them. original equipment on the 7r is a bank of flatslide carbs that are extremely boggy below 4-5k. i'll be installing a set of regular diaphragm style carbs from a 96 zx7 (w/o the r). they have a butterfly and a less "on the pipe" style slide set up.
now comes the fun part!
my 400f has not been touched for years before it ever even twinkled in my eye. it needs so much work that i've put it off for over 3 years now.
i'll be removing unwanted weight (any of you needing parts hit me up)
the carbs need going through maybe even parts that i have not ordered but, as the bike will not run for some time... why buy them now.
the engine is not seized but needs repair especially the tranny (which i have new!
from ebay for 1 freekin dollar plus 12 shipping
)
so, my work is cut out... my basement is ready... but, how do i get the multiple hundred pound motor down there all by myself??? maybe i'll ask the guys down the street to lend a hand. i found out recently that they went to MMI just as i did. although, they just graduated and i did that 9 years ago.
anyway, feel free to offer suggestions or let us know what you have planned motorcycle-wise for this thanksgiving break.
so, let us be thankful for the things that keep us entertained and away from the constant hum of the family!
p.s. here's a pic from my latest buying spree on ebay. i don't think 50 bucks was bad for a supertrapp.
