  • Lot's of head way made today. Still no sing of the jets but tomorrow I should hear about them. Sprockets well that is all im waiting on to put her on the road! The PR'2 got mounted to day thanks to the bike shop, also talked my self in to some gloves and also got some chain wax for the new RK.

    As for my exhaust, after having a few beers I cut the bracket off and moved it down and rewelded it up to the pre mount.


    Still stick out a bit but I'm happy with the way it turned out.


    Now this is a geto way to get both wheels off but this is all I had and wish i had a bike jack. Straps just seem to be in your way 24/7 when working. Brakes where fun to pull on the front wheel also! But got her done.


    This is the way she sits right now.


    And the much needed gloves!

        Thanks blits its been a long time coming but I can tell you I have learnd a tun and I guess that what's its about! This is all going on at the same time while I'm looking at buying my first house! Kinda stressed but this winter if I can ever get the winning bin on a house I wanna take the old 600 and tair iher down and do a rebuild and have a back up or sell it off. I like the pos head over the pre as its like adjusting honda valves and carbs seem to be getting ez'er to understand every time I play with them! Never thought I'd get this far but I'm supriseing my self every day! If Jim can get me sprockets some time next week I'm be ridding till my *** hurts all next weekend!

            • Well BIG thank's to Jim for the sprockets. They look wicked and seem like there going to be impossible to brake.

              This weekend is going to be the first time in months back on her, can't wait.

                  Love them! Spent 17 bucks on them.. Not to bad, as for fitment there nice have a little play in them but its not a race bike. For feel they can be moved way out or way in, right now there set on 3 for each side and seem to sute me well. If I had to buy another set for another bike I would. My buddy with the speed tripple was looking at them and really likes them, told me to find out if they make them for his bike.
