I know, it sucks.
I have them all loaded in my google plus account so i just need to redo all the links on here b/c facebook messed em up. I already did it once and it took like 3 hours but this time ill do it the right way.
-
Good to hear. I would love to play with one of those printers one day.
yah they are bad ass!! used it for many bike brackets to make sure everything works before i have laser cut out of stainless.
-
Yes. The motor, tranny, and everything work great. I just need to make a sleeve where the shifter mounts. I have tried to print one on our 3D printer at work many times and its so thin, it doesnt work well with our printer. So for now i put the clip on the end to hold the shifter on, but it wiggles a hair so im taking it easy. Next up is mounting all the plastic i have and making sure all the lights work and work on getting the rest of the plastic.

thanks!! been a LOOOONG time comin! lol
-
FINALLY!!LOL... I took her out for a ride today. Everything went very well. I feel i need to tighten the steering stem a hair but the motor runs perfectly!!! Video and image below!

Let the 89 Ninja run for like 15 minutes. Got it hot enough to make sure the fan kicks on and the new Muzzy aluminum fan is awesome! ^ metal fins instead of the factory 4 plastic fin fan. Was hoping to get it out on the street for the first time but it started pouring here.
-
Thanks.
You know whats funny, i had already done that. It took like 3 hours. Now b/c of F*ckbook i gotta do it again but it wont be on FB, itll be on something that wont change.
-
done some work to it... Got the fuel tank line all finished with a 2nd petcock as the original is slightly leaking when OFF. Rebuilt it but the knob is corroded on the inside so it didnt fix it 100%. Also got the Petcock faceplate shiny and painted the text. Thats it for now. Its all in the details.Im also working on putting all my bike images on an upload site so they links wont break like they did recently from FaceBook.

I love the machine!! We've had it for 5 years and are about to upgrade to a $150,000 printer!!! I can print even cooler things!!!!
-
Finally got the steering stem tightened. Its stupid that there is a torque setting for the nut under the steering stem when the specialty tool they tell you to use to tighten the nut, cant be torqued. Its basically a spanner wrench. Well, it only needed to be tightened down to 43 in/lbs so i drew up a socket and printed it. worked like a charm!!
-
Here is a little update. i ordered an on/off to go in line to the carb from the petcock. This will give me a 100% OFF to the carb for winter storage and when the bike sits for more than a day. I want to mount it hard to the bike so when im coming down my road i can turn it off and run the carb dry as i pull it into the garage.This weekend i finally pulled the front end off to get the steering stem torqued down. I noticed last year that it was a cunt hair loose as i didnt do it 100% correctly and i know why, so its getting fixed. I love how there is a nut under the bottom triple that needs torqued but the "specialty tool" you "have to" buy is NOT anything that has a torque setting. LOL. Luckily its only inch/lbs so i can do that by hand and i have a inch/lb torque wrench to use as a feeler...My last second homemade bike stand. Every other time i had the front end off, the engine wasnt in the bike so this was a BIG difference, lol. Works perfect and ill definitely keep it aroundThe Mustang has a brake fluid leak in the front passenger and the wheels are off to be cleaned and i need to clean inside the wheel wells and the suspension.
-
so many of the pics links are messed up b/c Facebook must have changed some things. DAMMIT. i hate when this crap happens. and i cant edit any of my older posts... WTF?
-
I'll hopefully take it for a short spin up and down our road tomorrow If the rain stays away. Tank is lined and on.
-
Hahaha. It'll be moving in the spring when I can get it out to ride it. Be done by summer.
I do not want an aftermarket exhaust. I want it to be quiet. I hate the sound of old sport bikes with exhausts. You can tell it's an old sport bike bc they usually sound like shit. Only exhausts avaliable for this thing are drag style exhausts so they are loud as hell.
-
shit man, its on this thread!! Post #150.
here you go...
-
Well I was able to check my buddies busa pipes and I think they will work good. That will be a 2015 project if I buy em.
-
my buddy gave me his stock '14 pipes to mock up. i still havent gotten around to it yet. Hopefully this weekend.
-
Kreem tank liner is in. everything went well, just hope it works! giving it a full week to cure as this weekend is supposed to be warm, ill let it sit outside in the sun. This stuff smells horrible and burns the nose so it aint coming in the house.
-
Got the rear end finished up. I had to get the rear tire reinstalled bc it was leaking. Air box is on for good. That's a pita. Chain is on. Gotta get some front end work done including the front tire reinstalled bc of the same issue. Steering stem needs torqued as well. But for now she's lookin good!
I'm routing some fuel lines from the carbs to make draining them a little easier.
-
Here she is running for the first time in 7 years!!
-
Kreem'n the tank. Carbs might only need a good tap to knock the float loose. We'll see.
-
but it was good to see some life out of her and hear the horn after 7 years. LOL.
-
well... i hooked up the fuel line and it is coming ou the carbs so i need to look into that a lil deeper and see if its just a stuck float. It was late and i was ready for bed and i reaked of fuel so i called it quits. The other day i got the fuel sending unit out and the petcock off and all cleaned. Here is the tank in its current state...
-
Fuck that. With how long it took to do it. I'm not wasting another few hours on something that has a higher chance of not needing changed. Lol
