Get some sleep you lush.

Spikeybike · « **Reply #58 on:** June 09, 2010, 11:18:45 AM »

four-shot!!! i was starting to think you were done with this forum

i'm gonna have to get over to your place and see your wifes KZ .. maybe get/give some ideas

Spikeybike · « **Reply #59 on:** June 09, 2010, 03:10:19 PM »

starting to be unsure about the exhaust .. thinking i might get some slip-ons, or maybe scrap it and get a 2into1 kit

i'm either gonna swirl the chain guard or paint it, i can't decide witch would look better

i think the drag bars turned down is a much better look, and feels about the same

that just makes me laugh... i love it

Zaipai · « **Reply #60 on:** June 09, 2010, 05:27:55 PM »

Very cool. Yes replace that exhaust or mod it but it has to be changed..

Hi Spikey,how about a CL-350 style exhaust but 1 pipe on either side instead of both on the one side?

I too dig the fork leg fix.

Questions:
That tank looks really cool, but I was wondering about putting the clear coat on. How does that work painting a tank without primer? Is there a special paint you're using, or just clear coat it and hope for the best?

The JB-Weld in the head... that's the second time I've seen someone do that. I've never played with JB-Weld... is it that good?! Seems like the head'll get pretty hot...

I like the chain guard! Actually got me thinking about doing something similar to mine. I might make a shorty guard out of aluminum or something....

Spikeybike · « **Reply #65 on:** June 11, 2010, 06:35:11 PM »

i was gonna just get some engine enamel clear and make really thin coats , wet sanding between them , i've done it before

i made a coffee table for someone ,with the top of the table being all swirled , and the clearcoat held for about 2 or 3 years ...but that was a table that got used ..... i won't see anyone puttin a drink on my tank

i have jb welded engine blocks before , i'm not worried about the heat , i'm worried about the tensile strength (the pipe pulling it's self off the head)

i was just gonna skip the chain guard, but where the passenger pegs are , i was thinkin the chain might pull in a pant leg or two ....and since one of those pant legs might be my boys.... chainguard

Good idea.

Zaipai · « **Reply #67 on:** June 11, 2010, 07:05:03 PM »

Why "engine enamel clear" ? Does it hold up better?

The autoshop up town has a shock (truck I believe) JB Welded to a stand with a handle on the top, you can push or pull with as much weight as you want.. Been that way for 2 years and its still JB'd to the stand..

Spikeybike · « **Reply #68 on:** June 11, 2010, 07:10:30 PM »

it's more resistant to chemicals and has a higher temp rating ... i use it on everything ,, frame, sheet metal, fiberglass stuff ... just kind of a "stick with what works" type thing

Zaipai · « **Reply #69 on:** June 11, 2010, 07:22:33 PM »

Good to know, I will use that next time.. Is there a brand name you prefer?

.: Scott :.

Spikeybike · « **Reply #70 on:** June 11, 2010, 07:32:54 PM »

not really ... whatever is at autozone ... i just stay away from the off brands and cheap stuff

Oh, Spikeybike, you'll never walk alone.

Wait. That should read, "drink and talk #$%* about bikes".

Like the tank Spikey.. That green one is pretty slick MJL..

Are you doing up one like the green one?

.: Scott :.

It's a possibility, I love the way it looks, and I just happened to have a cb100 gas tank fall into my lap the other day, that tank is an XR200 tank.
