Is there a "show off your engine" thread?

Heres the Blue 78 1000 I built this summer.

Yet, I have the fix and I can't see Spyder's pics.

I've had the embed fix for awhile and can't see spyders pics either.

Anyone still using photosucket needs to use copy and paste method to post pics here, as you would do with any other internet image. Just enlarge it with the magnifying icon first and then copy and post it here. It seems to sever any link to photosucket, so they can't block it if it is used here. Plus it's big.

I have the Chrome fix and can't see it. I wouldn't be surprised if PF F'd it up again.

Try this.....

WOW, Photobucket is TOTAL garbage these days... I haven't logged into it in quite a while...

Hopefully that worked... I have better ones somewhere. Going to have to find another hosting site though...

 

[hillsy]

And this....

This one is better. Bike right after assembly...

Hillsy, that worked for me, using Internet Exploder. :encouragement:

When I could not see the first set of Spyder's pics, I switched to Chrome, which has the fix installed. Not sure why others could not see them. :-k

Not sure what the "fix" does, but all I did was add "~original" after .jpg in the URL. That seems to over-ride the Photobucket block for 3rd party hosting.

Yesterday when I posted those, I could see them fine. Today I can't. I installed the Add-ins for both of my FireFox, and Chrome (like) browsers and still can't see them. The Chrome one broke sharpy's video on me, lol... Lets see how this turns out...



Might be a little small but it was easier that PhotoSuckit...

I'm not done yet, but this is what it looked similar to when starting:

this is what it looks like now. I'll post photo's of the polished parts later.

 

[Steve]

That is a step in the right direction. :encouragement:

[jdion81]

This is what the polished parts look like. I think I could have gone a little further, but.... They are about 10,000 times better than where they were. I'm not mad at how they turned out so far.

 

[chuck hahn]

Squirt some Windex down into the oil sight glass and us some Qtips through the slots to clean that up.

 

[jdion81]

Awesome, Thanks for the tip. I was about to order a new one.

[jdion81]

I like it. Did you make that crossover?

[Sandman900ss]

No, it's a 100% stock exhaust that shows no signs of ever being removed.

 

[jdion81]

Wow, it looks like brand new, almost like never used.

 

[Sandman900ss]

Wow, it looks like brand new, almost like never used.

5,600 miles. I detailed it to the max- after initial cleaning, lots of 0000 steel wool and Autosol polish, and some time. The only thing I replaced in that picture were the 12mm bolts and Phillips screws that tighten the clamps.

 

[Sam 78 GS750]

Ok, I'll join in... Some nice work here.
This is a work in progress on my rebuild, but here is the engine as she sits now...
