Whats going on in your garage

[Ogri]

I LOVE that bike! Sooooooo, how does it ride?

Thanks 8Track.
It rides pretty good, but it's not where I want it to be. Currently I'm dialing out some carboration issues as well as timing. So, I have not put many miles on it.
As soon as I can get it running right, I will be able to do some work with the suspension. Right now the suspension seems too tight. I need to spend some time, with the forks mostly, to get them dialed in the way I want them.

nice buffalo. i got to ride this one this weekend at the 2-stroke rally. holy crap it rode great!

its, ahem, slightly warmed over... I cut 3mm off the cyls to raise the ports for the owner a few mos ago (and he then jacked the cyl.. 2-stroke voodoo stuff)

check out the GS wheels. \\/

That's Lane's bike! That is an awesome ride right there. Lane has helped me out greatly with the Mighty Buffalo project. So how did his bike ride with the spacer under the cylinders?

ha! you know lane? cool. It rode great. super linear power on par (if not greater) than a stock 74 H2 but much smoother and def more useable.

And the brakes are freaking awesome. \\/

Great looking bikes guys.

Had the bike running today and yesterday. Swapped out the 32.5 pilot jet for a 30.0 and made sure the oil was getting to where it needed to be. Going to pick up the chain tonight and spend some time on the bridgeport to make a rear caliper hanger.

I'll be out on the road in a week or so if it gets dry around here anytime soon... stupid rain.

Pic thus far.

Can't wait to hit the streets...

I know Lane through the Suzuki Two Stroke site. He's good people!

Not much at the moment. I am waiting on parts for all my projects. The new petcock I ordered is not in yet. I am loath to change the oil in the GS850 until I get the fuel problem sorted. My front forks are with a buddy who is polishing the lower tubes in preparation for paint. He said he would be done with them later this afternoon. So, I am twiddling my thumbs. Maybe I will give my dog a bath.

In my garage, (driveway), The GS1000 needs a new chain and sprockets and rear tire. So I won't be going anywhere on it until I get the parts.

Well all that's going on in my garage with my Gs1000's is..well....sod all :-( except a vast growing collection of parts! Every time I set a plan something better turns up. I had got together a brand new 4 into one ( header & collector ) & a very nice new supertrapp megaphone, all that was needed was a one of link pipe... when a titanium 4 into 2 into one comes along bugger :-( more cash spent!! O' well should be good when I get it.

At this point in time I am trying to fit a larger rear rim on the bike. It had a 16" rear rim off an L model when I got it and I want to put a stock or larger 17" back on it because I need the height and the gear ratio back.

 

[Hoomgar]

Got the 17x3" rear rim on! WooHoo!

 

[Billyboy]

Looks good Mark.
Duke, you suck.:-D

Here's thread that she brought back to life imo...

Yesterday installed a ceiling fan in my garage..should do a better job circulating heat. Funny, I originally had it set to push the hot air down and then I did some research....learn something everyday...lol

When the heat is on, you don't want to have a cool breeze blowing on you. Most ceiling fans today have a reverse setting that allows the fan to run in the opposite, or clockwise, direction. So you're still circulating air, without creating a direct breeze. But there's more to it than that. Because warm air rises, running the fan in reverse also grabs that warm air that's hanging out around the ceiling and forces it out and down the walls. The air will naturally go down the walls and over the floor to be picked up again by the fan, balancing the temperature in the room.
