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?"

Found two new uses for an engine stand!

To hold a motorcycle frame for priming:



and to hold a motorcycle frame for painting!  :o  ;D



Great idea!! 8) 8) 8)

Great idea, indeed!  Thanks for sharing this, madmtnmotors.

Just received the drilled rotor from Scott (aka "formulasuper").

Looks so good I almost don't want to install it.

That is freaking GENIUS!

I brought home a free '73ish CL125 to keep my CB125 company. It'll be used for parts.

The CB125 got cracked into last Thursday and I need it rebuilt and running in under 2 weeks. I opened up the motor and went over everything this weekend and hopefully I'll be buttoning it up tonight. Then it's on to everything else.

In the middle of completely rebuilding all four carbs. Possibly getting them back on the bike this evening, praying for no leaks.

Also, damn you sir whose idea it was to use an o ring as the float bowl gasket on these bikes.

I had the same gum grips on my F - they are "Posh" brand, I bought mine here in Australia at a local cafe racer parts shop, but they are also on eBay.

Whoa those things are supposed to be attached? I was wondering what they were. Mine have no tabs in the center, so they look like tear-drop shaped washers.

Bought one!  K1? built 7/70. Custom exhaust!




And this K1 came with it! Future cafe?



And also this K2!! Nice 341's.



All these came out of NY. Special thanks to Chewbacca [Kyle] for checking 'em out for me. [Gave him a little beer money!]


And if thats not enough, was browsing CL during lunch, and found this K6 and bought it too! Yes, I'm crazy but have 4 more projects to keep me busy til 2020!
