Black Betty by Stonemaster
20 Mar 2011 19:18 - 20 Mar 2011 19:30
Just to show everyone I'm not just an internet troll asshole who joins forums just to piss people off, here's pics of my completed project (almost :woohoo: ) It aint as flashy as Larry's or Stus or some of the other builds, but its my style, took her for a short spin to break the clutch loose and check brakes, need to do fork seals but no problem there, and a minore tuning on the air screws
I still have a tiny valve cover leak but thats OK for now cause I know the oil is flowing. My oil light is still on but thats a wiring problem, see thread in engine section
1015 Wiesco kit
VM 29's from Wiredgeorge
Cavanaugh Head with Z2 grind cams
GS 1100 swingarm
KZ 750 forks, brakes, wheels
Progressive shocks
