Last year I was asked to post photos of my "Project Bikes" and I finally started a thread to do so, last part of last year and I can't seem to find it. Anyway, here's a few more (not the rest of them yet though).
my 69' Z50A "Project"
my 67' CL77 Scrambler "Roller Project"
my Suzuki TS400 Got some comments about this one that I'll do when I get back, got to go for now.
Okay, I'm back and I will tell the deal about the TS400. I got the bike without a motor and I got a deal on 3 TS400 motors, along with some parts. I was getting excited about having an "Old Style" 400cc dirt bike t play around in the woods with.
So, I'm get the bike in the mockup stage. I drop the motor in the frame, bolt it up and, all of a sudden I'm looking at the the exhaust port which is positioned the the front frame down tube so close that you can't put an exhaust pipe on the motor!
Then, after some research, I realized that the TS400s had ONE down tube in front and the 74' or maybe the 75' model had 2 tubes coming down from the neck of the frame. The early 400 motor had the exhaust port at an angle, where the later 400 motor had the exhaust port coming straight out the front on the cylinder. I do have an early frame, but the engine mount plated are toast and I'll have to make some and get them welded in place or I can swap the top end of the motor and continue on. Ah, but that's another story.
my Yamaha (79' & 80') DT175s
Take care, Bill
