TOPIC:

I have not mounted the bars yet Old Man Rock. I have a long way to go still. Rear shocks arrive tomorrow. No swingarm.
I am polishing wheels right now.
The rear wheel was easy. The front wheel is kicking my ass! The wheel was repainted and I think they used an etching primer or something. I have put paint remover on the primer 7 times and it is still there.I have had to use an orbital sander to knock the ugly, stained aluminum down so I can polish it. I'm only polishing the outer lip!
Oh, the tank. um don't know if there is much room before I hit the cover on my bike. Not looking to make that modification.
The Auto Magic bike is way trick, The frame has been widened at the bottom to fit the swing arm. The lower tubes have also been replaced. There is a lot going on with that bike.
I am still riding my bike to work a couple of days a week.

My coworkers bikes. There are 9 of us that ride.

Very nice V-Max there. Great Bike...Russ

it is easy to drop the tank down just cut of the mounts and drop them down 1/2 or 3/4 of an inch and remount them. idid that on my little drag bike.

Thanks! I'll add that to my list.

The shocks have arrived, zrx1100. I'm getting closer!
Just a few more dodads.
The front wheel polishing is suckin'.
I will tape the outer lip and throw it in the blaster at work to take the primer off. I plan to only polish the outer surface/lip. You can't see the inner surface with the rotors in the way anyway.
The forks will be painted bronze like the rear wheel. Orange is fun! just screwing around:P .

The wheel after 7 rounds of paint stripper and a whole hell of a lot of polishing..

way to go calhoun!unless someone has tried to strip wheels before they have no respect for what a pain it is.have you been chemical burned yet?onward and upward!
leon

Chemical burns!
Score!! rear zrx caliper, master cylinder, and mount== $24.
Ordered front zx9 brake dodads today also!

Ordered this nifty speedo.

I am looking at a tire in order to put the front on.

got the vapor!me and my brother both bought those.i haven't been able to install mine yet but i am itching to.at first just for the tach as i am still running the stock speedo but plugged my tach hole when i was chasing an oil leak.
keep up the good work!

Thinking about carbs. Dynajet kit for my kz1100 carbs
or mikuni VM34RSs.

I have those carbs for my 1200cc. they worked well on the 1327cc motor last year.

O.k.,It's getting pretty serious now.Mor dodads have arrived. All the brake parts and a swingarm. Found a front tire at Bikebandit and plan to buy it tonight, along with orange sparkley grips.

Speedometer has arrived also. Thinking about getting rid of the emgo fairing. Thinking about a clear one that is the same height.
