TOPIC:

sooo i got this old girl for $125 a few years back and have been screwing around with it for a bit...

I have replaced all the frame bearings and bushings (except the steering head, which is smooth right now...)



I really need one of the engine mount bolts if anyone has some to spare, i am missing one of te shorter ones that are used in the front.





Top end was rebuilt, old pistons and rings were used, but i will freshen those up in comming years... the head was done with new valve seals and a light grinding on the seats...

new dyna coils and electronic ignition

hardly take off shocks

forks cleaned and rebuilt

wiring has been gone threw a couple of times, everything seems good now...but it still needs some zip ties!!

new rectifier

new chain and sprockets x ring chain all in 530

new cat eye signals are in the mail will be installed shortly

new shin ching (or whatever) barracudas on the way...

new pods and cleaned out carbs, new carb holders

alin head bolts for the engine

lots of time spent cleaning

zrx1100 front master cylinder and front calipers of an early ninja (they are noticeably lighter!)

"cafe" headlight ears

lets try again, again and again....

engine

why is there a gap on the throttle control? will a new set of grips fix this??

here is where i am missing the motor mount bolt.... I pulled the engine over a year ago I'm lucky this was the only bolt i have lost...

these calipers came off of an ex500 i believe! (i bought so many parts i dunno where they all came from anymore)


but they are alot lighter than my stock ones...

is this how the wiring goes? all stuffed into the headlight bucket?? I cant remember for the life of me.

Looking good. Yes all the wires are stuffed into the bucket.

yes...and please replace that grip!!!

Yes the grips have to go. I bet they are as hard as a rock! And think about throwing a coat of paint on the control.

EVERYTHING on this bike needs paint...

My cousin us talking about setting up her own auto paint shop after she finishes her business degree. If/when she does i will be spending alot of time/money there.

things coming soon (next yearish) include paint, new seat shape/cover, braided steel brake lines, cafe bars, rear sets, and rear fender eliminator
