Project:Old Yeller on the road

Carb sync tool from Pro-Motion.I got it from a local shop because it was cheaper than getting it shipped from the US.Turn out to be way cheaper.

Would you be able to send me a link? I've searched to no avail.

Where did you find that screw driver/nut driver thingy and whats its real name? I just did a sync today and thought about how nice something like that would have been.

bike looks awesome by the way, the yellow goes well with it.

$201????????????
BS, i will give you $202..........for the front valve cap
That is beautiful, you really have done a nice job there, that yellow just displays so well, and I agree with Chuck, anyone who does not think so, needs their eyes tested.
You truly are a craftsman, sir.
What was the process involved to get the wheel rims so shiny, I have to do mine shortly, steel wool, buffing compound, wet sanding??

Was a statement aimed at all us guys doing older bikes on the site.The guy works at a big local dealership so it was taken in that context.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,I like it anybody that doesn't can not look.Most seem to so I'm not going to worry about the ones who don't.
Wet sanded IIRC 400,600 then 1500 then 2 grades of buffing compound and a very patient wife

Aaaah one of *those* I see...

Mate I think we're all happy you didn't, it's turned out exceptionally well.

And I like your new avatar too

Yeah comments like that and lots of others got him bannedHe's not as bad in person but his forum persona is pretty bad.In the market here I'd probably get $1500-1800.Not that she's for sale.Honestly if I was really smart as soon as I started her running I should have flipped her.Happy I didn't but the thought did go though my mind.

Whoever said that's a knob... I reckon over here you're probably talking $4000 - 5000, and seeing as we're about double the price of them there, that should make it about $2000 - 2500 for you... $201 my a**... you done good

What am I supposed to say?Was told on a local forum I'd take a $200 bike and make it a $201 bike.Think it may be worth a little more than that!Since I'm crass talking about money. parts sales have about covered the initial purchase price of the 4 bikes.

Yup, definitely!

Looks about 1000% improvement on the original

Greg,
I really like what you have done on Ol' Yeller. -- very, very nice!

Wanted better picture of Old Yeller so took a little trip around Sooke.Some of the best:


Had someone watching me take these ones

Didn't bark,just watched.As I was leaving he went home.
A couple more

Thanks Chuck,grown very fond of it to.The Skunk will be nice but this is my first real heavy duty job cleaning up a bike like this.She will have a special place in my heart.Let you guys in on a secret,I like this bike more than the 06 SV650S I had before it.
Picked up one of these today

Should make syncing so much easier.Think I'm going to have to do one to check it out
