Bike talk: Motorcycle/Scooter chat thread!

And when the hell are you gonna get a bike, kird? We're going on three years of this thread now and you still don't have shit...

 

[R13]

Yeah... money difficulties. the $3100 I currently have in the mustang has pretty much been most of the "spending money" I've had.

That and I bought a couple of expensive guitars around the start of 2014, that was a little over 2700.

Still got the white mustang to finish prepping, I need to get a couple of things for my spray gun and re-clear coat the trunk lid/passenger door.

After that will be the miserable f***ing task of dealing with the kind of f***ing idiot kids that will be looking at my integra, really looking forward to dealing with desperate chodes that blow up my phone because they have to have it but they don't want to pay what I'm asking.

I've not been keeping my spare cash on me anymore though, I setup a bank account just for bike money. I won't be touching what goes in there until there's enough to buy a bike, at which point that will be the only thing on my mind and nothing will get in the way of it.

 

[94RS]

So you've spent close to 6k and are gonna spend more? :lol: Sounds to me like you could've had an RC51 and gear by now...

 

[R13]

I shouldn't have to spend any more than $60 to finish the white rustang, after that it's just a matter of waiting (some more :lol: ) and hoping life goes smoothly.

IF I spend any more money that I don't have to before I get a bike it will just be the gear kit for the mustang so it doesn't completely destroy the throwout bearing and better trans fluid but that and the tools to install the ring gear and pinion are only $371 all together.

Oh and my birthday is coming up, I usually get a couple hundred bucks from my grandparents that I talk to 3-4 times a year. :rolf:

 

[94RS]

It's a Ford... Add another zero to what you think you need to spend and you'll be closer to reality. :mrgreen:

 

[R13]

I already did. :mrgreen:

The rear axle is pretty much the only part on this car I haven't rebuilt at this point.

The ford racing 3.73 gear kit from AM includes all the bearings, gaskets and fluids needed to completely rebuild for $256, all I need is a bearing driver set and a dial indicator.

Plus I'm getting some Amsoil ATF because the 3650 is a picky little bitch that doesn't seem to want to consistently work well with any other fluid.

 

[94RS]

Just got the tank badges back from being Tin plated.

These fuckers were dull and turning yellow before.

I fucking hate the dent... But to give a better idea of the finish on the badges.

Gotta love getting shit done for free at work. :mrgreen:

 

[R13]

You could probably get that dent mostly out with a wooden dowel rod.

I say wood because anything else might damage the tank.

 

[94RS]

How the hell would that even work? :lol:

 

[Accel.speed]

Push through the fuel cap hole.

 

[94RS]

Not sure I could do it then because of how the tank sits.

I'd end up hitting the bottom where the frame is before anything else.

 

[R13]

Too bad you don't have access to a stud welder and a slide hammer.

Then again you could probably just buy a tank for less than $100. :lol:

 

[94RS]

And one of my fork seals are shot...

Luckily Dime City Cycles is only 10 minutes away and keeps them in stock.

I'm debating whether or not I should throw on a set of gaiters since the forks are gonna be taken apart anyway.

 

[Accel.speed]

Looks better without it. Lay off those wheelies man

 

[94RS]

Just throwing ideas around since they had them from the factory on the KZ750/1100 Spectre's :what:

And :lol: at the wheelie remark... The C70 is the wheelie machine :rolf:

I've been meaning to ask... Who makes a decent HID kit? The stock sealed beam on this thing is pure trash :lol:
