Woman must stay.... there are many good things which outweigh a few cardboard boxes laying around in the garage.

So home again for a few days. Hope to get something done.

Good luck with that bro. My wife has very dif priorities than i do. Hers seem to be ahead of mine right now. So my project sits.:S

I concurr....Polishing the aluminum is cheap, which is why there is so much of it done. When the accountant releases funding, I buy parts.

No Funding, I polish parts...:S

Glad to hear that your back at it. i'm back at mine as well.
Good luck, and keep at it.

Well hey Mark good to see you on the forum. I get your e-mails, keep them coming...good entertainment!!

Sometimes you make progress in inches, sometimes in yards, seems like it is inches lately, so here is the rebuilt petcock installed. Tumbled in a brass tumbler, and all cleaned up looks brand new.

Time to head back to work, but I did get a small section of 630 chain to test the fit, and clearance around the modified countersprocket cover, it all looks good, and thanks to mark I should have no rub issues on the inside frame rail, as the roller will calm the slapping down.

Paul....heee heee...the VFR is now officially "on Deck". Lets get that thing rollin!!

oops file too big her it is ....

And yet another photo of the bike where it looks like nothing had happend in reality, the petcock, the countersprocket cover, and the chain clearance is checked and correct.

Looking great there Ted.
Keep it twisted(the throttle, lol)
Mark

what do u need to finnish Ted?

I now have oredered the massive tractor 630 chain. The next thing will be a battery, and a gallon of fuel.

Once the bike is rolling, I will put the lighting on.

It's so close and only 800 miles away.

Now while in Washington I took in a sporting game with my sister who has the season tickets to the football team here.

Of course I did it in motorcycle fashion, holding a get well soon Valentino Rossi sign, which my sister made for me.

The football fans did not understand, nor did the camera guy who kept putting me on the big stadium screen, as I danced around holding the sign.

The fans around me kept asking who is Valentino Rossi, so i tried to sway them away from the football gaming and into the Moto GP world.

Then we jumped over the wall onto the field and got a photo with what they call the "quarterback person" I guess he is some kind of football bigshot, he did not know valentino either but gave me a photo anyway!!

Remember Motorcycle racing needs "two" balls....the football gaming only 1.

your almost there. Good luck.
i took mine out for a 1st rip last night. I'll take it to the track on Thursday.

Thats great news Mark, you will have to give me the full rundown on how the track went.

I am looking for an idea as to how to get a steering stabilizer mounted to the front end???

Any suggestions??

Anyone...anyone....

there are lots of options. i think it depends,somewhat on the look u are after. some go with the old school look on the side of the bike, from frame to fork. others use 1 off a newer bike, and mount it under the front headlight. i am going 1 step newer, and mounting it in front of the tank, at the steering head.

hear is a nice fit on the front. he welded a tab on the neck.
