I also picked up a cheapo brake bleeder kit from Harbor Freight yesterday, so hopefully I will get the damn brakes done. Also just found out my dad can make some custom cables, so I am concidering sending mine to him to get 4 more inches...then I don't have to worry about binding it up going through the frame...

 

Isn't it a little late to be gettin' four more inches from your dad..ha! Sorry Skiv, I couldn't resist. Bike looks great.

 

That wasn't nice.

 

Nice mang....if I did some length inheritin' from my dad, then mom was real happy!!

 

Word!

 

Well, in the morning, my clutch cable will be headed to Maryland to become 4" longer than stock. I really don't want my clutch cable binding up the way it will if I have to run it thru the engine...guess I won't be riding this weekend either...


Sooooo, my project tonight went in a totally different direction...I will let the pictures speak for themselves!!

 

VERY NICE... WANNA DO MINE NOW??

 

It's all spray cans...took more time taping off the internal crap like the motor, than it did painting!! I didn't do the swingarm. I have an extra one so I will probably do that one and then mount my 636 rear shock also. But I am torn, I really wanna put on the R1 swinger, it looks awesome where mine looks plain. But I also know if I do that, it will take welding which I can't do; and I really won't get to ride much. I also need to get it ready for Fighter Fest in July, so it has to be on the road then!!

And as for doing yours, I barely had time to do mine!! Didn't finish until 1am last night!

 

Looking good man. Im working on picking up a miller mig, and maybe a tig if the price is right. Can do some welding for you if you need it.

 

Heh heh...Harbor Freight has a small wire feed on sale of $90 right now...been tempting. I know I couldn't do aluminum, but it would be something to learn on.

I appreciate the offer, could come in handy if I ever get to that point. I have an R1 swinger that I am thinking of using, but the shock perches would have to be relocated (R1's is center, 6R's is offset), so I would need some welding. Might be a while down the road...probably just putting a newer ZX's swinger, shock, and hugger on it for a while. Not really sure yet which direction the bike is going in...either way, it will be the inexpensive route!!
