I have stock springs, and rear shock, Kickstand alarm(?) cable, and a few other parts. I will try and remember to dig it out for you.

It was Honda paint. You are lucky you were able to remove it at all :)

No kiddin', man. Honda does not fuck around with their paint. It took me FOR-FUCKING-EVER to get it off of my gas tank and fairings. If we were bombed by a nuke today, the only shit left behind would be my aunt's christmas fruitcake, and remnants of Honda motorcycle paint.

That is why they make special schools for Honda mechanics. They call it the Marines.

That summmmmbeeeoootch is gonna be sweet man! Is it gonna be ready in time to ties some empty beer cans to the back of it so ya can ride it to the wedding?

Actually, those parts where powdercoated kawi green, and then it looks like UV damage turned them turquoise. Powdercoating is a bitch to get off.

It should be ready in time to sell and help PAY for the wedding. :siesta:

Are you just going to put the 600 motor back in it? I have a motor from a 91 CBR1000 that would make that a sweet little bike.

Thanks for the compliments everyone!

Nice work Brian, now what are you going to do with it?

No mirrors or signals. Hooligan bike. :D

Not sure what I'm going to do with it just yet, probably sell it as the garage is getting pretty crowded.

looks really good. is that the ebay/hong kong bodywork?

Yup, $500 Hong Kong plastics. They were not easy to install. :banghead:

HOTTTTTTTT! :D

Well done mang! I'm come'n by for the leftover parts, possibly tonight! :D :D :D

Just give me a holler. I'll be home around 7:00 tonight. :up:

Dude, once I fix the oil leak & put some brake fluid in the front, we can have an illegal bike race! :rock:

McVaaahhh

Wed Jul 29th, 2009, 10:37 AM

Bah!! Sissy! Take that thing out and wring her neck! LOL

I can't wait to hear how she rides. Did you figure out the air pressure in the forks?

Did you need to get that rear shock and resevior rebuilt?

Air pressure in the forks? I had Jim change the seals and they should be good to go. Rear shock is off of a '97 F3 so it's in good shape and I shouldn't need to do anything to it.
