Topic: What did you do to your non-SOHC4 motorcycle today?

[CycleRanger]

Cool score! Yeah, take of yourself! 

Today I pulled the carbs off my CL350 again, this time to replace the unknown jets with Keihin parts.
Hopefully this will be the last go around with the carbs.

Hi CycleRanger, I remember seeing you on a forum I used to be part of for a couple years, VHT.
You've done some nice work on your CL.
I agree with installing original(Keihin)size jets back in;jetsrus.com also has them.

Thank you! Yes, that's where I go the new jets. Getting the carbs working correctly is the last thing left to do and the bike will be done.

Terry glad you are doing well enough to putter about and pick up your birthday present. Price was right for a project. Glad your wife was cool about it and game for the trip. Take care of yourself!
Can you see much in the bar end mirrors?

We are lucky jets r us is still around.

[Mark1976]

   Did a new to me (used), starter.... so far best $29 bucks I've spent in a while...

[Terry in Australia]

Thanks guys, I'm doing fine. David, the new mirrors are great, much better than the old ones, which were useless. I'm going to put the loud pipes back on today, and take it for a quick ride. I'd love to take it for a longer ride, but I'm not allowed to right now.

Terry…. as ambitious as ever and moving ahead! Good to hear you are on the mend and still collecting more projects! Your wife is headed for sainthood. Stay safe, be well! J.

Today Paul and Bunky came up today and drug me out to the shop. We mostly hung out but I did get the left side rear brake/reverse lock-out assembled, cables routed and installed on the ATV. After that I'm exhausted but it's the first thing I've done since the radiation infusion treatment. 

[CycleRanger]

Getting dangerously close to done. I think I finally got the carbs squared away.
Need to do a little riding now and make sure I don't have to remove the exhaust again and I'll install the missing heat shield.

Nice job, Ranger!    Can you ride it comfortably? That is a small bike for your HUGE body!

[MauiK3]

Nice bike!

Yesterday's job, 1980 CB750F, needs some TLC. I got the bike for the cost of title transfer and it kept getting pushed back in line. Brakes have been gone through, the gas tank is getting the POR 15 sealer treatment. After major cleaning the motor will get a fresh coat of Duplicolour 1615 Engine Enamel.     And, yes that's a 1964 Benly in the background. It's waiting it's front fender to be filled and painted.

You mean because I'm tall, right? 
Yes, it seems to haul me around just fine, just like my CJ360T. It's certainly more nimble than the 750.
Although it remains to be seen if my seat stuffing job is going to work for the long haul.

On Monday we just about finished resurrecting the 01' TRX 350 Rancher my buddy's son barrel rolled into the Nooksack River. There's a few things left to do before I test ride it.
Overall it was a fun project and I've never ridden one before other than riding it onto the trailer when we picked it up. It will be useful around here pulling the firewood trailer and hauling the trash cans down to the road. I'm going to make a trail for it on the 2.5 acres down behind the shop to ride it on along with the dirt bike.

Has your son got into riding the Kawasaki 250 dirtbike you restored for him ?

[Gurp]

I finally started on the sporter so I have something to ride for the year.

Not yet, he's working on his learners permit and keeping his grades up. I don't have the energy to kickstart it enough to get it going. It's got a lot of compression and I am in radiation infusion treatment for the rest of the year so he's going to have to get it going this summer.

Now all you need is the rest of the bike.

What's that old song about building a car one part at a time

Got the covers cut down and roughly cleaned up sanded. Still looking the way I like.

Today I've got a buddy that was looking for some odd jobs coming over to help me build a overhead wheel storage.
Then tomorrow after I take my daughter to her besr friends Bfay party I'll throw the cam cover and pulley cover back on.
May end up pulling the starter to rerun a new vent hose as well.

After that is replacement of the inner and outer clutch hubs and retainer/clip. Installer the foot clutch jockey shift parts.

Rear wheel swap over to a solid. I believe I have the correct spacers for the price pulley and brake rotor for that.

Last and not least is new fork seals.

Forgot to add the pics lol

Cleaning up the engine on my 1980 CB750F, starting at the top.

Duplicolor Engine Enamel 1615.

The little Douglas is SOLD and headed to Manitoba. Carrier picked it yesterday.

Today we recovered the 84' VF 1000F Interceptor seat. It came out pretty good, it took a year for the wrinkles from folding it up in the package to come out.
