That old Yam is looking like new mate, well done! Cheers, Terry.

Thx! If I quit screwing around I might get it running next week.

Removed the carbs on the K4. Started that bike project. Organized my side of the garage.

Looks good, but with all that room you need a few more bikes!

I bet you're getting excited mate, I would be!

Test rode the 836 with the new pamco, carb problem. Put a new/old set of gaiters on the sandcast. put an old/new gaiter on the 74. Original title on the way for the 74. Title coming for the cb400f so I can sell a couple of them.

I need to straighten my kickstand. Too much lean. Going to get some long pipe to straighten it out after heating it up.

Tightened up my cam chain tensioner last night too. Followed this wonderful video. Hopefully it helps others out, too.

I had a clear bra put on the back part of my tank where I lean to keep it from getting scratches from the zipper on my jacket. Cost me $75 Automotive Appearance Pros in Columbus Ohio. I knew I was in good hands when I saw a Mosler supercar in the parking lot that just got a clear bra applied to the front. You can barely see the line where it stops (where I am pointing)

Those are nice! We had the Ford dealership apply one of those to our last new car.

Never thought to do one on a bike... Brilliant!

Looks awesome. This would be useful for those of us who use magnetic tank bags and have scratched our tanks...

Thought I'd see what the freshly painted tank looks like on bike. I know its not stock but I like the way it turned out.

Rode it to Motoblot with Pimpzilla in his favorite spot on the bars

Put a new battery in.

I like that. CB350-ish.

Drove on HWY 67 on the 550F. Need to tune it a tad more.

Thought you had the 605 dyno tuned, Nick? What's going on with it?

This is the 605. I dropped the idle jets back to stock at 38 but she keeps popping on deceleration. I will put the 40s in and see how she responds. The bike is definitely rideable but I'm nitpicky.

105 or 110 mains? Needle in the middle notch?

Mains are 105. Everything else is stock. A/f is 1.25 turns.

Reattached both exhaust pipes for my CB500 after cleaning the rust and painting the hanger on both sides. Also scraped old 70's University of Missouri parking decal stickers off the chrome in three different places on this bike. Need to order almost everything for the front brake except the handle - can't decide - rubber lines or braided steel.

Ordered a new condenser for my CL100 - arcing and sparking at the points contacts.

All new plugs and wires, and ignition coils to boot! The aluminum brackets that mount the coils to the frame on my CB 500 K0 also got a fresh cleaning and painting job. While that was drying I gave her a fresh oil filter/gaskets and oil. Next up I'll be mounting the carbs. Oh boy.

Don R · « **Reply #22095 on:** June 26, 2016, 01:47:47 PM »

Rebuilt the petcock on my 750 sandcast, flushed the tank and carbs, hung a throttle cable open and the guys figured it out for me.

Just regular maintenance. Greased the Swing Arm. Working my way through my list. Thanks, Calj737.

Sold my 360. Still not sure how I feel about it, but it's done.

JetgreenK1 · « **Reply #22098 on:** June 26, 2016, 09:17:45 PM »

Put on my exhaust pipes and realized I didn't get a rear mount for them. Excellent.

You'll be fine, trust me. Especially when you receive that special shipment!
