Stabil and carb bowl drained both my SOHC bikes today.

Still have the cheap collector insurance GS1100 to ride during the winter

Made new carburetor stay and started the work on new air filter housing. It helps when the wife is mad - gives me the motivation to stay at the shop for a long, long time

Hope she stays mad so you can finish that intake

Carb stay looks nice and beefy

Broke my throttle cable on the way to work. on the side of the road, I swapped over to the pull back cable. then I rode the bike with one hand while I pulled on the cable with the other. that was a learning experience!

I road my bike to Hollywood from my house which is east of Burbank in california..On the way back TONIGHT the clutch cable broke at the handle... So I road 20 or so miles in traffic with no clutch... I finally stalled the bike and got it into a gas station... I pulled the cable back threw the bike and took off the clutch cable cover..I made a few knots in the cable and suicide clutched the bike over half the way home.. but I made it..

My riding season is done for this year. Chain is gone, sprockets are down to nubs, and I have two broken spokes on the rear. Gonna start wrenching..... The 4K miles this season were fun tho!!

Ha ha!

Yippee!! I don't feel so bad being on this forum now, with now 3 CB900C DOHC and a HD Sportster because (pause for effect) I just got a 74 350F !!

Yeah baby! Well relax cuz it is very incomplete, but I have a titled frame, motor (no carbs), tank, gauges and a few bits in a box.

GAWD help me! Well it's a start and I'm happy to have one finally.

Looks like the one I made up for my K5.
Yeah those rectifiers are super-cheap.
If someone has any soldering skillz at all there's no reason to pay more.

You might want to get some disposable protective film for your work/viewing area...or a whole heap O recplacment windows for the box. It looks like alot of work went into the box and I am sure you dont want it to be a 'one shot deal'. (frosted windows= no see see)

TOTP sukkas

Du kan få nogle engangstændere beskyttende folie til dit arbejde/visningsområde... eller en hele heap o recplacment windows til boksen. Det ser ud til Fix arbejde gik i boksen og jeg er sikker på, du ikke ønsker at være en «én skød deal». (frosted windows = ingen se se)

...THX 70cb750. YES

it is getting cold here ~2°C this night but I think in Denmark You have similar temperatures.

Just opened the package that I got from the German custom. I bought the left and right hand control with the black kill switch button two weeks ago but the little black plastic on the light switch is broken

Have to contact the seller, I hate deals like that.

Have a good one...Georg

fork seals arrived, so i assembled and mounted the forks. caliper/mount was sanded/painted previously, just waiting for the caliper seal then i'll mount that too. disassembled/cleaned and sanded the swingarm yesterday. 3 coats of spray-bomb enamel, now curing over the HW heater.
