fazer1sniper Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Today wired most all of it up, with a barrowed battery fron one of the other bikes. The one i used for mock up ended up being dead, will grab a new one this weekend. Down side is rear tire fender had to come off to get the dead one out. That being done, I cleaned the carbs and installed them. Some gas line and a beer can of fuel I went to fire it up. 15 minutes later it RAN! Ran well too. Sounds cool for a 'lil 400. All the parts I messed with day should be all painted by the weekend and if I can pick up a few things, maybe a running bike by this time next week.

fazer1sniper Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 Nothing is done till I can start it up and roll down the road. After that I'm ssure i will be happy to get off this 27 HP beast and back on my 1000 with a fresh set of Perelli's. But I gotta say it's been a fun time building it so far.

fazer1sniper Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 SO CLOSE! The battery I had for this bike/battery box took a crap. I used this "barrowed" battery to test all the wiring and start the motor. Rear wheel & fender cant be replaced untill the new battery is installed. I plan to get the replacement tomorrow and get this bike ready to ptut in gear and see what happens.From tank forward I finished up with some detail work I wanted to knock out.

fizzer Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 What are your plans for the bike after the econo-chop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazer1sniper Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Not sure. better signals and headlight maybe. Spoked wheels. Alot depends on how I like riding it. Wont be a daily rider for sure, but may be a fun bar-hopper. I really made it "mine" with the military-sniper theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazer1sniper Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 Finished up today. A mild ride on the street but rain and wet prevented me giving it much. Any way here it is...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UNpuNh9G6vk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted April 9, 2011 Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 That is a good lookin' bike you built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fazer1sniper Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 No time or money to get the new front tire. Rear turns were salvaged out of parts that I stripped off my old Magna. With the new battery and oil breather I had to get puts me at $276 invested in the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fazer1sniper Posted April 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2011 I rode the snot out of it today. Ended up up at the local bar where a half dozon bikes were parked. I got alot of "what the hell is that?"'s. Was fun. It scoots out pretty good for a 400. Tracks nice, breaking is decent, turns easy as speed. Good times. Just came home to park it before I got so lit that I end up dropping it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
