My house is a junkyard, I know.
Figured you might like to see better pics of Scary since I had it out today.
Took it off-road, it really didn’t do bad! Definitely has full suspension because everything is stiffer than Chungus. Pretty sure some uppity bitch called the cops on me, but I disappeared before they showed up... I have full permission to be on that guys property anyway, but y’know... loud ratty supermoto with a gutted T-4 draws attention [emoji23]
Runs like shit. rpms hang, idle is unstable, runs hot... pretty much like Chungus before the rejet, just 3x worse. I’m undecided if I should tear into it now, or go ahead and put the radiator in the truck, and rebuild the mustang’s starter first. I’ve got too many fucking projects lol, but now that Chungus looks so damn good I am itching to get Scary up to par.

Probably the dinky little fender [emoji23]
Yeah I should, I miss the mustang. Haven’t been driving it since the battery won’t crank the starter when it’s hot. I should probably put a bigger/stronger battery in it than the factory spec because when it’s hot it cranks like a high comp Harley where it rolls a little, slows down/stops, then breaks free and fires. Not sure why as everything should be factory spec engine and ignition/starter wise.
I think for the supermoto I’m gonna go low key/clean. Get some nice clean high bend protapers, maybe some black cycra guards, hopefully I can find a stock red seat cover and just put the oem style graphics on it. Probably buy a whole new plastic set too because these are all warped/beat up. Chungus is all modernized with the race look which makes it justifiable that it’s loud and nasty, Scary needs to be clean cut and respectable.

No fucks given.
You mean exactly like an XB? [emoji23]Probably the dinky little fender [emoji23]

That is precisely the reason why I’m glad the XR’s are kickstart, and why I think every bike should come with a kickstart... even if most people couldn’t actually use it [emoji23]
Because if bike batteries get low those bastards won’t start even if they still have enough power to crank for a second.
I don’t know if the mustang doing that hurts the battery/shortens it’s life, but I feel like it would be better for the battery and the starter life if it didn’t do that. The GT uses the same battery as the V6, which is probably why it does that because they don’t have very big batteries, it’s probably not really quite enough for the V8 when it’s hot... because my trucks battery is like twice the size and it’s the exact same engine/starter.

First real ride on the new wheels... brake caliper bolts fell out halfway down the street [emoji23] I’ve never even had those bastards out. I found them thankfully, went straight home and torqued them back in with thread locker.
Had planned on posting some clips, but I didn’t realize my mount wasn’t tight so the angle kept getting fucked up every time a branch hit it.
