I have been productive the last two days though.

The 750 hasn't moved since the rally. I need to figure out the oil leak and fix it.

Getting closer to having the F3 completed.



That's beautiful mate, I dunno why, but it reminds me of the first model CBX1000? Very nice indeed. Cheers, Terry. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Terry, I like your spacer better than the short section of PVC tubing Progressive sent with my springs!

I'm thinking Steve-O just needs a couple pedals and some bars now and he's ready to ride  ;D

I'm gonna go to the garage and play some. IF I can successfully get my throttle cables positioned I have 5 gallons of AvGas and 1 gallon of oil on standby with a fully charged AGM battery.

Ha ha, thanks Jerry, and have fun with that bike. Be prepared to be disappointed though, those CR's are pricks of things to set up initially, so if it starts and runs really well off the bat, you're a lucky boy! Cheers, Terry. ;D

Painting pipes the cheap, quick and dirty way.
At least it'll look better than those rust scales.
If it sticks for the summer I'll be happy.

Finally finished my carburetors! No more leaking haha! Its still having a wicked idle problem but i assume its from me not setting the proper air / screw mixtures so im gonna take it to a shop, pay like 80 bucks and let the pros tune it out. up next is an oil change and brakes...then figure out why my blinkers aren't working...Im just happy its running again and I can still ride around on it. Now i can ride it to the shop! haha.

So far my free 350F has costed me like 150 bones (tools + carb cleaning stuff + carb kits)

Its fun to work on though

Ordered new tires, tubes, and rings for the 350f.

Bought duplicolor burnt orange paint from the local advanced auto.

Still need an exhaust, wife doesn't like the loudness of it.

Did nothing to the 750k, just walk by it with no back wheel. Waiting on chain and swing arm bushings.

Rode my K3 to work today with the new OEM pipes. Very quiet and the bike seems to runs so smooth and vibration free that the ride is very enjoyable. Especially when its supposed to get in the low 90's today here in Omaha! That afternoon wind in ma face is gonna feel GREAT!
