good price and quality. I like your bike, are you gonna hard tail it of keep the springs? do you know of anyone adding a kick start to a 450?
I'm amazed at the versatility of the small bikes. There's nothing you can't do with them.

btw, anyone in NYC or LI have an old chain laying around? I need to add about ten inches to this one, since the back is now stretched. need some suggestions on a front brake lever and clutch lever, I just want plain black with a split collar so I can take it off without touching the grips and a small resivior on the brake lever

the welds for the back brake were done with flux core due to a sudden gas shortage. all of the welds have good penetration though, should hold up well, I hope.

had to add a cross tube for the seat, it will also help when I put the fender on.
I just cut some bolts and welded em in place for the springs.
put a piece chromo over it to protect the threads and a magnet to hold in place

ok, I'm done until next weekend. I have a couple full weeks of boring hazmat training, damn you 9/11. I'll probably order some stuff tonight(brake pads, clutch, levers, chain), any good online stores that I should know about?
what size is the chain? of the 2 I have, they are different (1 o-ring, 1 regular), so I cant mix em up because they don't fit. I need about 8-10" if anyone can send on my way.
things left to do
-rear brake linkage
-mount battery tray
-find the gas tank I want to run
-order some pods
-make an electronics housing
-get rid of some wires in the harnessLast edited by Guest; 08-03-2008, 05:47 PM.

Rich,
I like what your doing with the hardtail, I've really been thinking about doing something along those lines with my gs750 this winter. I noticed you had vet plates along with the "Dick" plate. What service you in? I'm up here in MA with the USMC.
