Nebbors Posted April 1, 2018 Report Share Posted April 1, 2018 Rode the Gemini Bridges Trail here in Moab. About 75f today. Had to redo the throttle cables to get better response and set the idle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little chilly still, but well worth it. What kind of temps did you guys have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was around 45 when we left Pony, was about 55 when we got back to Columbus. Was really really windy once we got close to 70 heading back towards the city at 3 or so. The temperature started dropping too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll give ya my 2 cents on bar ends. I love em. If you get a good set that doesn’t have a lot of vibration they are great. You can see everything behind you at a quick glance. Some find it distracting taking your eyes from the road though. Mine came from a fella on the zrx forum that makes them. Bolt on in place of bar ends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted April 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Installed a set of Woodcraft rear spools on the MT. The first set I bought were some Amazon special anodized ones, and first time with the stand, they scratched. The delrin spools looks better anyways.

Gixxus Christ! Posted April 8, 2018 Report Share Posted April 8, 2018 Ordered new fork legs for the vintage hondarocket. Next is cartridge emulators and better springs, then a nicer looking headlight bucket, then I'll get it in the air, pull the whole front end off, replace the steering head bearings and maybe the top triple, then build the new forks and put new headlight on new forks with these nice skeletonized black bullet aluminum mounts I have instead of the huge ugly chrome ones and that part of the bike will be done. Pics when I get all the parts and do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gixxus Christ! Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Well one of my fork legs is straight, like within .002. The other is crooked as a Clinton, indicator ran out of travel halfway around. This may slow me down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Killer_kaw Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 More progress on the zrx. Finally got the diodes wired into the harness to finish up the install. Now has zx11 cams, valve springs ignition and brain. Damn things gonna think it’s a sport bike now. Also hooped up a fresh set of tires. Finally got around to the Penske shock on the Connie as well. Got some nice days coming so I gotta flip a quarter to see which one heads out first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Didn't work on the bikes today but I got my garage claimed back from winter storage. We have a car that we don't drive in the winter but the wife likes to park her old car in the garage during the winter so she doesn't have to clear the snow from it. Well the old work car got booted to the driveway today reclaim my garage space. Ready to do some wrenching starting tomorrow on the bike. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
