Guest GMoney Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 OK so since this thread got fun already i have to post pictures. The day i bought it. The picture doesn't do the purple justice. The last time this bike had been registered was 4 years ago. Last time it had been started i believe. http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w404/Flak_Jacket/IMG_0377.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GMoney Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Started the tear down before i had it titled. Need to see how bad the thing is before i sink more money into it. The wiring is a rats nest but does work. http://i1074.photobucket.com/albums/w404/Flak_Jacket/IMG_0383.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest GMoney Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Last night i removed the plugs, checked for spark and sprayed some WD in the cylinders. Bam! Started right up after just adding fresh gas and draining the bowls of the old gas, this was the second kick! Battery is smoked so no push button, thats getting removed anyways. Running on only on one cylinder though. So removed the carbs and found one of the castings was actually messed up and wouldn't allow fuel to that carb at all! A few tiny drill bits and its now running on two cylinders. I now know why the previous owner had a fuel line tee into the carb boot. Some form of cheap fuel supply i guess, so now i need a new carb boot. Damn those are pricey. Sorry no picture of that yet, but i will get that later tonight. Parts have started to roll in.

Guest GMoney Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Good bike to start with, wish my fat ass would fit on one! Any plans with paint and or accessories? Paint is going black for now just to get that purple off of it till i can decide. As for accessories i have a new headlight, rearsets, controls, seat, clip-ons, tiny battery and other misc stuff on order. I will be making some custom exhaust also. If it doesn't have to be on the bike it will be removed, speedo, tach, key, starter, and other misc stuff all being removed. Long term plans include aluminum wheels and total paint of the frame, but that will not be till late this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmuckingham Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 P If it doesn't have to be on the bike it will be removed, speedo, tach, key, starter, and other misc stuff all being removed. Is that common with Cafe bikes? Sounds like it will be a PITA to start and easy to steal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really but its as easy to steal as a standard dirtbike i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyM3rC Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Is that common with Cafe bikes? Sounds like it will be a PITA to start and easy to steal. Wouldn't that really hurt the value of the bike? Kickstarters crap out sometimes too which would leave you with pushstarting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest GMoney Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 I am starting a kz 750 project soon turn those bar down and do the seat and all is golden as far as cheap and the look Thanks for the tip. Bars are out because they are steel. Everything i build im obsessed with weight. Hell i go as far as buying smaller tubes for the weight savings. Im buying a new mini battery for the bike to save 4lbs. The Z3 in the background is 2600lbs with the cheap heavy wheels and it will lose another 200lbs before im finished. I will not remove AC from my cars also. My old Evo was 2900lbs which is pretty damn good for still having everything in it, wide 18's and not cutting anything. It was alot of work and sneakyness, Evos are about 3200lbs from the factory. I'm 5' 11" and 160lbs for reference on the bike. No update on the bike other than parts are in mail.
