little steps with clown shoes...

Toying with the idea of using some shrouds.  I do realize this would bring about mixed opinions within the ranks, but what fun would it be if it didn't, right?

Sourcing the parts for the carb system proved to be a challenge. Re jetted, new o rings, heat shield and some voodoo magic, hopefully it'll run well.

Last weekend

Took the swingarm apart to sand/brush and made a starter button housing. Ben graciously came out to figure out TDC on the ignition and starter relocate. Thanks a bunch for the help dude!

This weekend...

...we lifted my truck. 56hrs with 6hrs of sleep. 

Just need to bleed the brakes tomorrow and see if it works.

Thanks to my brother in law and Dad for all the help!

I'm going to see if they will issue me one of these...

Go fast and get low

I lied

Still obsessing over this DR.

Waiting on more parts.

Reborn-ish

Still a lot to do.

But for now it's on to the project I was supposed to be working on during this fine but fleeting abundance of free time.  A hint: it starts with T and ends with a 500 and in the middle is a -.

the beginning of a project, two years in the making.

long list of things to do over the winter, the most difficult one completed, getting the title and a fresh plate. Very giddy about that.
17's front and rear. Exhaust. rebuild complicated dual carb set-up. head gasket. Repair frame damage.
fat bars. new levers/cables. fit contemporary KTM plastics, most likely mean a new sub frame.
attach stick to beat off all the ladies whom will more than likely be chasing me where ever I go on this sex machine.
