wastedyouth2542 Posted March 19, 2015 Report Share Posted March 19, 2015 Hey guys, names curtis. I have a few bikes, only one is running (almost ready for paint). Currently this consumes all my time, trying to get it done by Saturday since it's supposed to be nice. I bought it the beginning of February for $500. New tires and battery, needed an ignition coil and some love. Here is where I am today: I pulled the carbs off last night to jet them and found a pin hole in the one diaphragm, so i dabbed some glue on it as a temp fix and ordered new diaphragms. Fuel pump decided to stop working two days ago and i finally got around to testing my rad fan, which is also broken. I totaled a cb650 two years ago and broke my back, i cut the neck off of it and made a new frame, it's not too close to being done though. Looking forward to a ton of riding and camping this year, planning on heading to deals gap around April 16 but just for a day, I want to ride into SC and then up the coast and back to home in about 5 days/4 nights. But anyway, just found this site and figured maybe someone on a website with a motorcycle actually lives close enough to hang out/ride/party with!

Wolfman1 Posted March 20, 2015 Report Share Posted March 20, 2015 Welcome to the OR! I used to have an 83 Shadow 750 with the same pipes. It was my first bike. Rode it for 3 seasons before I lost a big end bearing. This was after a new paint job and some other investments. I decided to rebuild her and got her back on the road. Ended up selling her and upgrading to a FZ1. I have a lot of good memories with that bike! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
