gs450 re-build

[pete]

Nice one! That'll be much better than where you've been working for sure.

We have a 2 car garage, but it's a bit small and always has 2 cars in there, so I only get a little bit of a squishy area up the back where the work bench is and it gets a bit cramped, but beats the hell out of doing it outside.

Well the wife already knows that the WHOLE garage is my workspace until I can build a separate shop somewhere else on our 6 acres...

It's weird following the same thread across two forums

Looking good, and congrats on teh new garage.

[mlc216]

haha yeah I figured the guys here might be able to offer up a little more technical help than a chopper forum.

And so far I count like maybe 3 people here that like my bike haha. I'm not sure if pete likes it as much as it intrigues him?

Choppers and Bobbers are my favorite

[mlc216]

Hahaha definitely intrigues me, but I'm also starting to like it

I think it may have been the initial shock at the stretched version you started with...

[mlc216]

Ahh yes that was probably the same initial shock I suffered from when I first saw it. I'm still not happy with the frame and how he tied the hardtail in to the original loop, so I'll be building another with the other chassis while I'm riding the fool out of this one.

This bike will be back on the road tonight! hopefully haha

[pete]

Yeah it was quite... well... long

Good luck!

[mlc216]

How sweet it is!!! I rode out to the new house and then to the local bike shop and back home without any issues. Probably 35 miles or so all together. Oh yeah the starter quit so I had to bump start it everywhere I went haha

[mlc216]

Go easy on me the camera was in my shirt pocket haha

Glad to hear it's running again

You reckon it's the starter or just the solenoid? I believe the starter brushes can be redone.

[Flaming Chainsaws]

Seems to ride just fine! Although I couldn't really hear it... Now you need a video of it at idle. I would love to hear what it sounds like .

[mlc216]

I'm guessing it's the solenoid... Makes that clicking noise like a car with a bad solenoid. I have the other starter that still works so I'll just push start it until I can put that one on ha

I'll take some more pictures and a video at idle too. Hard to cancel out the wind noise...
