    One bike down (except for tidying).

    Now another bike to knock out since parts have started arriving - an overhaul of a 19 year old bike. Replacement factory parts yet to arrive.

    Went for a longer ride today, and by longer I mean riding in traffic to the local tat shop and cafe.

    The PVC rubber strip works well at dampening the bumps to the fender.

    Anyone know much about carbs? I found the bike rattles and shakes itself silly, and the two pilot screws wiggled out. One is gone, but the other was still sitting on the engine casing.

    Could use some help setting the carb up to get the most out of the engine.

    Willy, if you want to go for a ride I can still use a blocker one evening when there is little traffic, so I can see if it'll get up to 100k without killing me.

    Went to get some beers to consume while doing revisions this evening, and a tab broke on the suicide shifter.

    Will have to strip it off, and beef up that whole area so it's less tempted to break again.

    Just glad I'm sensible enough to work my way into a bike after it's modified - can't carry a MIG and some bar stock wherever I go!

    Tab that snapped (right) and new tab that is being welded on (left). Much thicker, so hopefully that equates to less breaky breaky.

    Yup, anything that flails about and flexes when it's not meant to will eventually fatugue and break - and a bobber is a prime candidate for the sort of thing.


    But keep us posted, looking good so far.

    Dual Keihin carbs. If you need something more specific, I'll have to take a closer look.

    Weather permitting, burn out on Friday and/or Saturday when I'm hosting an open invite bbq to bring your bikes along, have a look at this bike, and have something to eat.

    If you can put a pic of the pilot screws up, I might have some I can send up.
    If they're CVKD32s then I have a set of four (one's fucked) I can send you.

    Keen for a BBQ when my heap is on the road


    Reading these builds makes me want to bob the fuck out of something...

    They look like these?

    If so, these should be part numbers for what you need

    Rossman returning from his first test ride, then we went for a ride out to a local market to grab a drink and food.



    For some reason the video link above isn't working

    Went to work on it today. Seemed to go alright but pretty stuttery unless really warmed up. Right side indicators stopped flashing, so I suspect loose connection off the load resistor.

    Has a very crisp shift and little slop, which it wasn't like before the small tab snapped off
