Well its been way to long since I posted in this thread. The Annoying Orange has been keeping me busy but I have been way to frustrated with it to do any updates. This bike has seriously kicked my ass but I think I finally won. It seems like anything that could go wrong has. Ever since I spun a rod bearing 500 miles from home, deep in the awesome Canadian backroads of B.C. it has been one thing after another. Here I am 6 months later ready to ride but now its cold and wet here in the Pacific NW. Anyway, here is a list of some of the new stuff....


Rebuilt bottom end, round 2 ....sigh  :(


-New Lucas Style headlight bucket. I installed a toggle switch for on/off function of the headlight.
-Rizoma LED turn signals
-Custom made headlight brackets
-Tarozzi clip ons
-New front master cylinder
-New All Balls steering bearings. (forgot the lower bearing spacer first time around.)
-Pamco ignition ( my $400 Dyna 2000 failed again)
-Dyna 3 ohm coils and Dyna wires


Few new pictures.

Yea, that 2000 gave me more problems. My bike has never ran or started better since I swapped it out for the Pamco.

B,  I just took the time to read your thread after seeing your signature's link in La Flama Blanca's build thread.  What an amazing looking bike!

I thought version 1.0 was beautiful, but the spoked wheels, GL1000 front end, black pipes and FJ rearsets took it over the top, IMO.  I'll get the popcorn ready to watch La Flama Blanca come to life!

Welcome to my build thread. Yea this bike has seen some changes but I finally have it dialed into where I really like it. Hopefully I wont have to mess with this bike anymore and just ride it for a bit! ;D

Interested to hear how the ignition works out for you, I've been running the Cycle X setup and I've had some issues.

I always love looking at the paint on this bike. That Deep orange was one of my first choices (tied with a candy rootbeer brown) before I decided on my re/black/white scheme... Just love it.

Yup Dash Point Road is a regular for me. Luckily that's on the way to Tiges house. As for the mount I had my camera mounted on my chest with a strap that GoPro makes. I ordered an extension so hopefully the next vid will be more road less tank bag.

Nothing exciting, but a different view. Still trying to learn how to use the camera and the editor.

Thanks man. Good luck with your build. Sometime parts for these F2-F3 bikes can be hard to find!
