That looks great Sean, what brand of shocks are those? Cheers, Terry. ;D
I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Seanbarney,
I love that bike, really looks great. Did you do a build thread on it?

Not really "on the road" and not really mine, but plenty of SOHCs at Vintage Days Mid-Ohio last weekend.
One vendor had two excellent condition sets of 341 pipes for sale. One with baffles, one without. He was asking $700.- for set without baffles.

The brown bike made it into the show tent - spent about 20 min deconstructing it and stealing ideas LOL
What a great VMD this year!

I talked to the guy in the swap meet where the brown bike was parked and asked the guy who was there about the dual front disc. He had absolutely no clue. He tried to tell me it was done by taking one front lower leg and turn it around. Same with the caliper hanger.

I took plenty of photos - I doubt that's how it was done, but now I have to look.

It was obvious that the fork legs were a right and a left one. It was not one "turned around". The bosses to mount the caliper hanger are different in the front and the rear. You cannot turn them around.

You know that.
I know that.

Hey emlupi, hows that CB running?

Outside of Hermanns Old Town Grill, Plymouth, MI. The mural reminds me of one of my favorite Montana brews.

Kevin D,

I have been fiddling with the jetting a bit and it is running much better now. Probably wouldn't hurt to do a plug chop but I am just enjoying the ride for now.

Can I have a motorcycle when I get old enough?
If you take care of it.
What do you have to do?
Lot’s of things. You’ve been watching me.
Will you show me all of them?
Sure.
Is it hard?
Not if you have the right attitudes. It’s having the right attitudes that’s hard.
