Where'd you get those indy?

Fastfromthepast.com

They are ridiculously expensive, but I wanted something that bolts right on without having to fab anything up and these fit the bill. They also carry Raask rearsets for about the same money (they also have a direct bolt on for the 500/550) but I've read mixed reviews about the quality of those. I will tell you that these Tarozzi's are top notch quality. Beautiful hardware and fit well.

pulled the front flat tire off the 550. Found a wood screw in the tire. Then I pulled the headlight to figurw why it was out. Fuse was good. Changed out the light bulb for a silver hi output($23) and voila there be light. Had all these thoughts of burned wires and it was fortunately just a bulb.

Replaced my rotten old seat cover last night. What a pain in the a$$ that was!

Walked past her sitting in the driveway under the cover in the rain and wished that it would stop raining. I don't live in Seattle, it's freakin' Denver!

I put her to bed for an extended period of time.

Holy crap that's a heck of a lot of custom work to create a really ugly bike.

I dunno, minus the extended forks its not too bad.

That's what I though but I didn't want to offend. Thanks for sying what I was thinking, Bankerdanny.

For starters, I made a new set of bar clamps, which will be powdercoated black soon. Then made a new bracket for the dummy lights. It's going to mount where the guages mount. After all of that, I relocated my ignition switch with a new bracket.

It's really nice to have full run of a CNC shop. (well, sort of...)

Very nice work! No high beam indicator?

Nope. Really I just couldn't find a blue LED that matched the others that I had. No big deal though.

I had 15 minutes or so in the garage tonight, so I put the air box back together. It looks great with a nice coat of black paint and new rubber carb boots. As soon as I get the K&N filter, the whole thing can go back in.

That would be brilliant. An endless supply of quirky CB tanks to bring down the market prices.

Replaced one miffed exhaust gasket. She looks and sounds better and better every day.
Now, I just need to find some chrome u-channel.

I didn't bought it because it is looking like it is right now, I bought it because it's a K0 wich only has 5000km on the odo and VIN and engine No. are matching and I got all original parts to build it back

road to work in a mist on my 650. Yesterday I put the tire back on after a flat and its ready to ride.

Bankerdanny · « **Reply #6246 on:** May 13, 2011, 07:39:40 AM »

Watched it get rained on (well, that was last night) today I road it to work for the first time. Tomorrow, day 1 of Rally participation. Woo Hoo!

motocyconomad · « **Reply #6247 on:** May 13, 2011, 10:50:57 AM »

chain adjusted ....thought about the old one so sad sitting with the motor out.

Greggo · « **Reply #6248 on:** May 13, 2011, 03:13:40 PM »

Polished a brake plate from completely snotty, grimy, and scaly to as clean as I care to get it.
