        I might have an old one somewhere.. Longterm project is here and there. I'll try and bundle some of the old pics together into a dump-thread later today, but it's when things all start going back together that it'll get interesting.

        1100 front end
        RF900 rear shock
        Custom bits like battery box, undertray and brackets
        Hybrid GSX600f/GSXR750 engine
        Brand new out-the-box 38mm carbs [never before fitted ]
        Black with red accenting theme

        Should get things sorted for painting tomorrow afternoon. Can't wait.

          • Went to apf motorcycle salvage and got a turn signal bulb. No auto parts store carries this type.
            I had a good day!

              • On BF's bike, I pulled the right side fairing off, remove the sprocket cover and pulled the clutch cable. Found out the cable was bound up inside and unable to clean it up enough to make it useable. Replaced with new cable, adjust the clutch and all. Clutch lever works much much better now.

                While I was at it, I removed the carbs and did a full tear down and cleaning/service on them. Put the bike back together, synced the carbs... and did a test ride.

                Clutch working good, got rid of a slight hesitation at 3-4k, reduced a buzz at 7k, runs much better.

                Get the suspension paid for and installed and this bike might almost be done for a long term duration...
