Hey cut the man some slack

his band's putting out their first EP and he's got a wedding to plan too. If money weren't so tight I'd be at their show right now.

Don't worry, he's way closer to finishing his than I am to finishing mine.
Stay tuned.

honda_jason · « **Reply #67 on:** June 17, 2010, 08:08:00 PM »

sooo i took her out for the first ride since the rebuild....got about a half mile and she died. i think i may have some ignition/points issues going on. im going white water rafting this weekend for my bachelor party so when i get back ill dive in and see what the deal is. and finally take some updated pics! sorry for letting this thread dieee.

Zaipai · « **Reply #68 on:** June 17, 2010, 08:45:10 PM »

Its only dead if you let it die.. Enjoy your weekend and update the status (with pics would be nice) later when you have the time..

honda_jason · « **Reply #69 on:** July 01, 2010, 11:52:21 AM »

so heres a few up to date pics from the last time i worked on her. still not sure why shes running crappy. i cleaned and respaced the points...next im gonna change out the coils and go from there. but i changed the seat and took off the signals. Alan F is making me up some sweet side covers too! opinions are always welcome =]

Zaipai · « **Reply #70 on:** July 01, 2010, 04:08:57 PM »

I think it looks good. How are you liking the drag pipes? I am thinking about going that same route..

Dude, if you're still considering an SR500 tank, have a look at this sportster cafe with an SR400 tank.

And Full Congrats to you and M!
