What's up all

New to the site.

I'm from Mount Vernon...stumbled across the site from a google search. looks cool.

Only been riding for about 2 years. I ride an 86 Shadow 700, and have an 82 Virago <--puts up flame shield--> 750 as a bobber project.

Started on a 76 zuki GT380 2 stroke. It came with the carbs in pieces in a box. Having never touched a bike, a carb, or really a motor of any kind, i had to figure the carbs out to start riding....took 3 months, but i ran that little smoker around......now i'm hooked.

rant!

just sayin' hey to everyone.

Harley riders - be nice to the new metric bike guy, alright?

Hah....its not that i am a *metric guy*, so much as i'm too cheap to get a harley. I definitely think that a sporty bobber project is in my future, but the wallet won't allow for it right now.

btw squidbillies is awesome.

sheep sex. you got it. :)

i was googling for info on obtaining titles for "parts" bikes, or any bike with no title that isnt stolen....buddy of my just picked up a project XS and is trying to get a title...several bikes ive seen locally that would make great project bikes...but no titles. a search brought me to a thread on here.

Its an '86 700. Bone stock when i got it. Since i got it, i have:

Replaced clutch plates

Clubmans bars...stock bars were awful. These are better, but probably gonna change this winter.

Progressive 412s...Dropped the shit out of the rear end. much happier with the stance and feel.

Removed the stock exhaust, and mocked up something i like with parts from auto zone. As you can see, it's not done. This winter, i'll be welding everything in place and wrapping.

Rejetted carbs

Probably more, but that's most of it.

sorry for the shitty cellphone pics.

Hopefully i will get the time to bob this thing out over the winter. I work a lot of hours. It was supposed to my project for *last* winter.

Here's one of the girder i picked up....i dont think its going on this bike :)
