So does your girl run ok now??

She runs AWESOME! I do need to pull off the carb and do a seasonal clean out and a few mods I have learned from MXRob but she is running extremely well! Loads of torque, pulls real smooth and hard through all the gears and has a lil more top end. I didn't even realize it until I started clipping past vehicles on the e-way, looked down and I was doing 90 like it used to do at 75 :shock:

Backed her down and wow just wow, amazing throttle response and takes off like it has something to prove :twisted:

Not to mention if ya noticed when I pulled out onto your street and blipped the throttle, she came right up like a bucking bronc, shocked the crap out of me because before I had to hammer her a little harder to get it to do that :ROTFL:

I do also need to move my shifting lever a notch or two to allow for proper shifting with those boots and adjust the clutch a little bit. The 2nd and 3rd gear unicycle intimitations have worn it a little in the learning curve :jester:

Plus it does a have a better sound to it with that slightly bigger pipe. I also didn't stop and put the overalls on, was plenty warm on the way home other than the numb/tingling hands :banghead:

Thanks again soooooooooooooo much for use of your shop! :pepper:

It was good to see Larry today also, funny we both heard him hummin on over before we saw him :ROTFL:

Glad she is doing better :wink:

Noticed that little ah shall we say WOW you got pulling away. :ROTFL:

Maybe you can get a better ride in tomorrow now!

For sure! I won't be pulling 2.4 g's or 200 mph but my mug will be :wink:

Happy is always good no matter what you're doing or where you're going
Since mine hasn't been hardly out of the drive way for almost a week, I may take her to town tomorrow :JEEPIN:

I wish ya would of said something today while I was there, I would of been happy to help ya out even though ya don't need my help. Also ya need to get that steel cut so we can get that "other project" done. :pepper:

Some awesome programs on right now, inside MotoGP, all aspects/classes of it. Really wicked cool info along with painfull to watch but amazing these guys walk away from their spills, of course other than the guys that have sadly passed away :shock:

The Super MotoGP bikes (350lbs with 250 hp,more power to weight than F1) are reaching 210 mph and pulling 2.5 g's, their trying to make them even faster :shock:

ya sayin ya wants me over to do more work since your missin me :shock:

I should of just come back over last night, do some brain storming, cutting and welding on yours. Then done the carb tear down on mine, then we could of had a foggy breakfast :rockon:

That way ya wouldn't of been :ALONE:

Was sittin in the shed last night/early morning lookin at my pony, it would look really cool with a black frame. I wonder how much it would cost to power coat :twisted:

Lookin at all the places I could stiffen the frame with gussets like we talked about briefly and came up with some cool stuff, atleast in my head. BUT I also have other "needs" for the bike before any of that can and will happen :rockon:

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Nov 18, 2012 12:29 pm

Should of came over, couldn't sleep, went to bed at 4 back up at 8
We could of done a lot of brain storming :wink:

More ideas on the "special project" changes to design/build/materials etc

BugginKJ · **Joined:** Mon Jul 06, 2009 7:35 pm **Posts:** 4576

Does it involve any square tubing? I was thinking that would look cool, a cage sort of look and very functional :twisted:

Next time that happens on a Sat night ya have to call me, a ton better than sittin in my shed brain stormin all :ALONE:

Was real cool however taking a nice long walk in the real thick fog this morning :5SHOTS:

Now it's time for me to head off to bed :banghead:

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Nov 18, 2012 1:31 pm

Mixture of square tubing and tread plate
Mixture of tread plate and flat plate
Mixture of well designs/styles, way to lock
easy to build yet has the way cool factor / design

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Nov 18, 2012 5:29 pm

BugginKJ · **Joined:** Mon Jul 06, 2009 7:35 pm **Posts:** 4576

Cool, can't wait to see what ya have come up with!
By the way.............do you remember if we took any pics of my carb when I had it apart????? Trying to remember what I did to the needle and if I did anything with the d-shlf washer or even if it was in there :banghead:

tommudd · **Posted:** Sun Nov 18, 2012 9:05 pm

No pics of the carb when it was apart, sorry
what are you missing or think your missing ?

By the way look in the bag for the tent supplies sometime you're out in the shed
I think some of my twist in/ screw in tent hold down stakes are in with yours.

I think I may be missing the factory white spacer that should be modded for the d-shelf. Which could be the stumble issue that is showing itself. After a little wear happens the needle will have a tendency to cock to one side, from what I am reading. I just need to pull off the top portion of it tomorrow morning and see for myself.
I will look in the bag in the am when I go out to play with the carb and let ya know........
edit: I did find some pics but none of my needle setup :banghead:
