Topic: What did you do to your bike today ?

[Stev-o]

Braze. I don't think you can solder steel.

+1. Call your local radiator shop, they may be able to help?

That breed is extinct in our area every since the radiatorbarn got going. I will clean it and see first.

Put a Two Brothers Racing can on the 550. Had an exhaust place bend and weld me a mid-pipe.

That muffler makes me sad...

Drove mine over 130 miles today. Woke up early to head to the DMV for my road test. Passed, now I can ride without a helmet legally!

Why the hell would you want to ride without a helmet mate? Are the roads on your side of the pond made from marshmallow? I understand that good helmets are expensive, and kind of inconvenient at times, but they do serve a very important purpose............. 

I don't know why. I just like the ride without a helmet. I have a nice helmet. Not sure if it was expensive. Around 300+ for it.. I will wear it when I go for long rides but not for short ones.

Yep, as has been said before mate, it's your right not to wear a helmet, as long as you don't mind knowing that you're risking everything every time you go for a ride. If you've got a wife or girlfriend, and maybe some kids who all rely on you, you're risking their well-being too.

Helmets suck, but dying on your way to the gas station sucks more. Cheers, Terry.

Couldn't have said it better Terry................oh by the way.....just sold that 71' I sold you for $1500..............kiddin!!!!!......you better come after it though because people have been inquiring about it  (not kiddin' there!!!!)...................how's that for a thread hijack?

That muffler makes me sad...

How come?

[the technological J]

... noticed my shifter seal leak may have just fixed itself.

or you ran out of oil

There are so many period-correct slip-on options that would look great with the style you're going for.  That carbon weave sportbike pipe belongs on a Gixxer.

Got into the front sprocket area to clean up the POs crud and check things out. Spoonfulls of sandy grease. ;P Underneath all that... a clean case was revealed. Did a 10 minute shine on the cover and put it back on. Still clean after this mornings commute. Lovely.

went to the DMV today so now I officially own my K6. Stopped my the isurance agent on the way home to add it to the policy. Now it's time to get some polishing done!

Well, I got it for free, so it's there until I can get a nice system. It sounds nice too.

I got a new muffler for my bike today. Advanced Birthday present.
It sounds similar to my straight pipe with internal baffle.
I like the looks of the stainless.

Lucky I was contemplating painting my CB650 frame gold.  After seeing yours I think I'm on the right track.  Got any pics of the bike with that show the tank and sidecovers?  I'm contemplating Charcoal Gray Metallic and Satin Gold on the frame.

Hey Lucky, it looks like you have spent a bit of time and money on your bike. Why would you put that sticker on it?

[Roach Carver]

I thought it was a makeup sticker.

Because it comes off easy, and if I sell the bike the new owner can do their own thing.

I rode mine to the hospital  after the wife gave birth. I was kidding with her at 445am when she was in the van and I jumped on the 550 to start it. She was half out of it until she heard it start up... I turned off the bike. W arrived at the hospital at 5 and and 514 Elin ( same name as Tigers ex) Grace was born. 21 inches, 8lb 3 oz. Her older sister Milah holding her in this pic.
