i did that suspension mod on my old 250 it really does make it feel more like a "sport bike" even if it is a lil slow. for 500 it would be hella fun as a lot bike, hell i think i have more invested in my 50. hell for 500 slap some dirt tires on it and take it on a trail lol.

trying to replace some things after my divorce mainly need living room stuff (dining table, rectangle desk, coffee table, end tables) and my microwave just so happened to crap out this week too. figured i see if anyone was moving or cleaning house here before i drop money on new stuff. pm or email m...

as long as i can get in a shake down and a test ride before then i will.

and a before and after shot

and then today i actually got it all together so i can still ride it while the weather is nice and hot. still have plenty to do: exhaust, trim fairings between tank and tail, trim fairings between tank and upper, bodyfiller and paint on undertail and 954 fender and rear tire hugger, polished brake l...

was crazy hot the other day and i was helping a buddy get his bike painted and we realized that i have a 220 line out to my paint booth. so for years ive been dealing with this shitty compressor..... time to upgrade

spent last evening and almost all day today working on it, turns out i had more work to finish then i expected. last night gave it a nice bath to get the frame and swingarm shiny again. cleaned out throttle bodies changed all fluids, put on reflective white rim tape, adjusted woodcraft clipons. then...

probably so lol, but i still dont have passenger foot pegs or a bracket for the rear seat. think its gonna just be a 1 rider kinda build

from my experience with knockoff pitbikes, dirtbikes, and atvs they are usually reverse engineered from some other exsisting bike. meaning a dirrect copy. my china crf50 works fine for forks, frame and controls and they are so close when a part brakes i can usually replace it with a honda part with ...

well plenty of time has gone by and i still really like it, ill see if that changes after having it together for a while. but if i wanna go back to a solid color just buy some cheap fairings and its hella easy to lay down a single color

painted fairings, doing fluid swaps right now might have them all installed tonight http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b68/stupidfast900/paint%20work/f4i%20build/2012-06-20181130.jpg http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b68/stupidfast900/paint%20work/f4i%20build/2012-06-20181104.jpg http://i17.photobuck...

so I feel like I owe everyone an explanation. as some of you may know I went down back around October. Tank slapper going much faster than I needed to be going into the highway dividing wall on a friends bike. Luckily I didn't go over and due to the speed i was going I was far ahead of any traffic, ...

decided to dig this out of the grave. been sitting for a minute while i was distracted with new job and other projects. left off with most of the graphics painted on the plastics, the tail is ready for graphics and gonna paint them on tomorrow, then goes the candy red and paint should be done in a w...

loks very nice, and way more cost effective than paint especially if your doing it yourself. just wait for a year or so of riding and hope the edges dont start pulling up.

check out kenedale drag strip on bike night, youd be surprised how many of the older sportbike guys are very knowledgeable on carbs. most of them started out running old school crotch rockets or harleys and just stepped up to the newer bikes to go faster, but the knowledge is still there. and would ...

ehh whatever long as it goes fast, actually it may not even need the turbo ive seen a built 5.3 in these blazers run low 11s with just a 50 shot

78mm turbo and some light engine work. stock bottom end, should get close

its not done yet, thats what i was saying, still need to finish paint.

now i know ive really been slacking getting the bike finished but its actually pretty close. maybe a weeks worth of work tops. im sure the nice weather will motivate me to finish up, really just needs paint. but for about the last year ive really been wanting to get back in the car game. i want some...

waay better then the original

they are pretty cool, but i just got some of the plain white/silver reflective type and they stick great

pff im still runnin 2 9800gtx's and i can play anything ive come accross at high settings

Wonder how they would perform if you "push" them, extra mass in the rear end, but extra grip too Think I'll stick with two wheels, but looks interesting not sure what you mean by push, but i think those are all being pushed. looks like a bunch of scooter home built devices. and all those ...

i would love to use it until my build is finished, i have my stripped frame frame sitting outside while i finish the other work. right now its under tarp to try and keep it as clean as i can but a bike cover would surely work much better. I'd be more then happy to hand it over to anyone else in need...
