not mine

Ton of fun this year. Slow race, spark plug challenge and there was even a chainsaw competition(2T guys who came down from the Santa Cruz mountains with their saws and ended up jammin with the band!).

may end up goin to royal brass. we use them a lot for our equipment at work. they are pretty expensive tho. but not far from home.

So been at it bit by bit. Got rear swinger and axle from a forum member. Picked up the bracket off ebay and caliper from yambits. So now I need to figure out brake hose. I've looked at spiegler and goodridge, any feedback on these 2 places to source it? Or recommendations of somewhere else to source a brake line? After that is sorted I'm gonna get the wheel laced up and focus on frame mods for seat/tank.

always use the safety rod when it's up, lot more stable. 

yes. didn't get the HF rod with mine. using 3/4 rebar.

+1 on the wheel vice

Put one on my home made fixed height work platform before I picked up a HF lift this summer off craig's list, and put the vice on it. I don't find it rickety at all. It has screw down out riggers to stabilize it and you can move it around with the bike on it when you lower it down all the way.

parts back from blaster. carbs are getting ultra sonic treatment. started scuffing for paint and startin the polish treatment

dropped of parts to the blaster today. set of barrels and heads, side covers and carbs. carbs vapor honed everything else bead blasted for paint $225 for the lot!

got it, thanks

Taking a bunch of stuff to blaster tomorrow. Curious did you mask the carbs at all?

Just mild porting and o ringed head done by Scott Clough.

bottom end buttoned up.

Bad ass! The fact that they're all turn key is pretty f'n sweet.

NICE!!

hope to get top end back from SCR soon. Gonna do the rm vforce 3 set up as per mnsc.
haven't looked into getting everything needed to set up the rear disc yet. not sure really what's involved besides caliper/master and hanger, hoses etc. different axle and spacers? anybody got detailed info for this mod?
