some pics of my junk, 81 gs450

I measured the outside of the runner last time I ordered and they fit.

so it is confirmed, I'm an idiot, I had a sneaking suspicion, but now I'm sure I was looking at an angle since I have the carbs on the bike and was adding an extra 2mm it is in fact 48mm.

Now I'm dealing with the internal threaded 13/16" petcock bung that is proving difficult to find

Be sure you're measuring the right part of the runner too.

what part should I measure?

Its not that the 2mm is a big difference, but they won't slide onto your carbs properly and seat right. I'd look for 50mm. I have the Emgo's on my bike...actually 2 bikes and I like em. Go here http://www.crc2onlinecatalog.com/Index_Main_Frame.htm and look at all the sizes they have. Be sure you're measuring the right part of the runner too.

don't know where I got this one, maybe here

bike porn, to keep the motivation up

That canister (fire-extinguisher) looks much better painted black. I think the electronics should get plenty of air with those holes in it.

Lookin' really cool.

thanks, I'm still gonna put some more holes on the bottom. I ran out of black, and I really wanted to keep the rust away. its not the final color.

Thought I'd check this thread to see your progress and it looks good man. You're definitely on a solid track with it.

thanks.

any ideas you guys wanna through out is very welcome, since this project has no defined outline.

also I see the pods are 48mm every where, but I measure 50mm. is the 2mm a big difference or will it fit fine?

sorry bro, BSing with my wife and a documentary on china's youth took some time out of my pic uploading time.

here goes. The weather was crap so I went inside of my shed to work on the FE cap

made the cover, in an attempt to keep the electronics cool


had some early blues and early punk blasting, a cigar lit and beers flowing for motivation

I'll have some more pictures today

IM WAITING!!!!!!!!!!

i cant get enough images of this bike
