  1. pics before i sent it to metal cleaner... Seat pan still in design stages...haha
  2. Got some goods today... I have the steering bearings that i need to get pressed Dont have the frame right now, should be back from the cleaners nxt week. I went with a chemical bath process to remove the excess rust and paint instead of blasting. Then i can bend the seat portion of the frame....and weld some sheet metal for the seat pan. The motors getting looked at mid-december...well see how far i need to bend over for that.
  3. got mine...i forgot i even filled the survey out.
  4. Update: -Tried bending tubing for seat rail myself...no such luck. Ill have to find a tube bender. -Got some gixxer brake calipers in...still looking for front wheel and rotors for decent price. -Got the tank down to bare metal...plan on cutting into it this weekend. -Pickup a sheet of steel to start beating around with to form my seat cowl...im a virgin metal worker so we will see what happens. if all fails, ill just make something out of fiberglass, but prefer metal. -Ordered steering head bearings from All Balls...great site for fork conversions. will get picks as i go along
  5. Does anyone know if a 04/05 GSXR 1000 wheel will fit 04/05 GSXR 600? And to add to that, will the 600 rotor fit the 1000 whee?
  6. Had a Buell, but currently have a 76 honda project... ...will have a Buell again one day.
  7. not sure yet...i want to get a nice looking coilover with a resivor/piggyback. cb1100k have them stock..but i might spring for some works shocks, or race-techs Ive seen that too...but since im not sure if im going to stay with this tank or not...and i dont have any spare tanks to mold from, form is it for now. I may make a wooden mold of a cowl and form some aluminum over it when i get the time. But for now, form is cheap and it allows me to make different styles quite easily. Next steps... Mediablast Bend seat rail Make gas tank decision Finish front end Get engine built
  8. Got some 1" steel tube to bend the seat rail out of. Also started playing with some form... Threw some paint on it and took a little more off the top... Not sure if im going to use this tank yet...if i dont, i might have to redo the cowl...but i like the idea for now
  9. air time at 3:33 was cool
  10. Nice man...good luck with the winter build. Whats your overall plan for it?
  11. Stem fits fine...just have to get some custom bearings, which maybe a challenge Cut a seat shape outta some scrap wood to see how long i want the seat to be. Next im going to get some foam and shape a cowl. still not sure if i want to just make a fiberglass seat and cowl, or try my hand at forming some metal.
  12. if it went wrong...atleast it be instant death
  13. Take offs from an 2007 Avalanche Tires have about 20% life left Bolt Pattern: 6x139.7 Will fit, newer Tahoes, silverados, avalanches, suburbans im sure of 18" Come with center caps and lugs Tire brand: Bridgestone dueler http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa28/scheetz31/002-2.jpg http://i200.photobucket.com/albums/aa28/scheetz31/003-3.jpg Asking $550
  14. trying to visualize it... Picked up some new hardware tonight...
  15. looks terrible from front...gets a bit better in the back. it might grow on me...especially if it sounds beastly
  16. i saw it a barber motorcycle museum...not my style
  17. Im checking out a gxsr front end this week...i got my fingers crossed that its feasible
  18. next week im going to take the engine to a company called bore-tech down the road. i know nothing about building an engine so i figure ill let the pros do it...or atleast quote it for me.
  19. Plan on totally replacing everything minus frame and engine, those will get rebuilt and painted. The big idea that i have been tossing around is to put inverted forks on the front...might be more than i can handle, but well see when i get there. Inspiration for that idea
  20. Picked this cb500twin up earlier this week...will be my first build, but have big plans for it. wish me luck. This is only a few hours into it... Got it moved into the basement workshop...so no excuses for being too cold to work in the garage now Pulling the engine is quite simple...only weights bout 80ish lbs
  21. So ive got a .38 and saw a box of ammo for a decent price(100rds for $30). Anyway, turns out they were 380 and not .38, didnt realize it till i got home...did realize there was even a difference. And i cant return ammo per state law apparently. So if anyone needs 100rds for $10 let me know.
