Project:Old Yeller on the road

Look at my link,There is apic of the mount.Last one on the first row.

Did not ask but looks like a Katana sheild to me.

I agree.
I wonder how it is fastened to the bike...

Hey! Thanks for the cool pics, etc.

Do you, by any chance, know what kind of windscreen this is? It looks like one from a Katana ... but I'm not sure. I ask because I'd like to do something similar on my 1980 GS1100ET.

here's a link to one of the contestants Facebook photos https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?...7&l=2ed8c5d2b5

That black and red Yamaha is nice. I would choose different colors though.... Old bikes with modern wheels and suspension just looks so well together!

The Z1 is VERY nice! And how about that GS750EF?

Looks like a lot great builds there. Especially that diesel motor and the caddy engine...

Guy with the Z1 brought this to.

Unfinished XS650 dirt tracker.Another bad pic,sorry.

Been watching this build on VIBikers http://www.vibikers.com/forum/index.php?topic=4456.0 Turned out pretty good IMHO.

72 Triumph.........Hmmmm....

This guy buit a frame around a diesel motor,a small MC motor gutted and used for a transmission and a registered steering head.Pretty sure that is all that"s left of the bike!

O yes some guy brought this thing

My wife's stay at the hospital was longer that it should have been.but that is another story.Saturday morning dawned gray any cloudy,around 7 am it started to rain,hard.My mother in law was coming to take Kelly up and to support me as well.Phoned to see if we where still going(to this http://www.vibikers.com/forum/index.php?topic=5102.0 ).I hate riding in the rain but nothing was going to keep me away!It was a miserable ride up but we got there.So here are some pics I took there:

Pretty nice XS1100 caf? that I don't have a better pic of.


This guy found this motor in some sort of service cart thingy,built a MC around it.Not as old as it looks!

XS650 bobber,only bad pic on this one to.Camera battery was low



Beautifully restored Z1.

Busy weekend this time.My wife goes to the hospital for a test tomorrow(Friday).A big deal to her but only to her.Then on Saturday I go up to Duncan for this http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=145360912189177 And for you not on FB http://www.vibikers.com/forum/index.php?topic=5102.0 See how Old Yeller does,I like to think it doesn't matter but it does at least a bit
Let's hope for a good weekend for everybody.

Went to do some shopping and dinner with my wife after work today.My bike was left at work.Go back to get it then went a back way to Sooke Rd.Coming out waiting for an opening it traffic I notice a bike at the end of the line of cadges.A yellow Tea Kettle Kat,the rider was in a yellow with black and white set of full leathers.Long braid and body type said woman.We rode along both 4>1's singing.It was so cool.

Gee does it help if you put things in the right order.Have not been running air in the fork because of a cut line between the legs.Decided to get one of the other air fittings I have and get air in.Took the legs down and put the fitting on then the rubber spacer ans the "washer".Tried airing it up and got a hissss.Go WTH and leave it for a while.It dawned on me in a bit that the washer and rubber spacer had to be under the fittings.Did that and when I put mt small bicycle pump to it nothing to be heard

Coming home yesterday noticed in the paint on the minivan in front of me the headlight was not on.Great,fuse blown?Get home check the fuse,it's fine.OK strip the fairing off and get the bulb out,looks good.Well take the tank off then.Finally find the male end of the "spare" connector under there.Plug it in and I have headlights again

Sweet. Thanks alot guys!

Thanks psyguy.Jeff look around ebay under carb adjuster.Seen them $5 less there.Shipping to Canada stopped me.
