Injected some SOHC4 into a two stroke Yamaha.

I thought that was illegal in Texas....

Shhhh....don't tell anyone.

Pouring rain in Cleveland today. Finished up the headlight bypass relay. Discovered the Hi/Lo wasn't switching. Dang. Disassembled the Hi/Lo switch.  I think I've saved it with some good epoxy. Everything works now! Have to do some shake out runs before heading back to Texas.

Started the K8 for the first time..... started first try, no carb leaks/overflow !!.. 8)..... put a clutch cable on it after this vid. and sync'ed the carbs and rode it around in the laneway behind the house ... no brakes yet  :o

Special thanks to ; y2kcowboy (D.C.)  for the motor, madmtnmotors for the carb parts (FL) , mcouzo (NJ) for the oil tank and the P.O. for leaving the bike outside for 7 years  :o...
Little smokey but at least it ran, and could be worse.. could be 18 years.... There's a reason why 90% of my chrome is painted gloss black ;)

Messed around with the front blinkers.
It's interesting, I have two sets of front blinkers both from 750K5's.
One set has steel arms and the other set has aluminum arms. I don't know which set is newer.
The aluminum ones came on a K5 with a build date of 11/74 but I'm not sure they're original.
The aluminum arms are a couple of ounces lighter than the steel ones. I guess Honda was trying to shave some weight!

Then I contemplated my idiot lights.....
I have two sets, one with ok rubber but completely rusted.
The other set has usable sockets but the rubber is shot.
Of course the rubber is molded to the socket soooo what to do?
Hmmm, well we'll see.

The poor old girl has had the piss ridden out of her, she is worn out and very loose.  Thought the name fit quite well.

Yeah, I wish I could find out where Yamiya gets the BA9s sockets.  I'd like to build my own for less.
