[Large]

[chopiesel]

ill knock most of it except for the mirrors and lines over by the weekend

and yes beer will be involved

[Cruisecontrol]

I've got to make a catch tank for my crankcase breather hose. I did an 1800km trip on the weekend and now have a nice coating of oil down the side of the bike.

[crazymofo]

i need to finish stage 1 to get mine rideable lol

not much to do for that tho..

modify battery tray to clear new rear shock,
fit 2 bearings,
indicators,
mod the exhaust to clear the new swinger,
fit mirrors,
modify and fit rearsets.
relocate the iggy barrel.

theres plenty more to be done, but that can all wait till AFTER AFR

cheers.joe.

not sure I want to think about it that much it feels like shitloads in fuck all time!
remake exhaust cause it hits the engine, replace muffler with free flow unit as the old is too restrictive, sort throttle and choke cables, rejet carbs and retune, cam chain and tensioner, repaint mudguard and fairing, replace the leaking o rings on the water pipes into the block (naturally behind the headers!)rego, sort suspension (although i can really only adjust the rear without too much fking around)radiator and oil cooler remount and mesh.
If ive forgotted anythin its too fucking bad!

[fimpBIKES]

fuck things to get done

i have a growing list of "fuck it i'll do it once i get back" things
such as
- pod filters
- paint
- new fender and bugspoiler
- tidying up the gauges
- redo-ing the rearsets now the proto's are working properly
- my luxeon LED tailight, just ordered a quick little LED bolt-up from stu today (thanks mate)
- steering damper
- making up fimpKNOBS for it
- bathing

dont really care that much though
as long as i have my pointy arse end on and happy in dubbo thats my target :D


ps- my biggest worry at the moment is the fukking fuel pump gasket, its leaking like a bitch. have to get onto the 'zone and make sure im doing it right...

why are they skin coloured? im worried

less time designing poofter web sites,and more time building a real bike.

[Iceman]

I just have to make the shed built, fuel injected, turbo bike go.

aaah well Ice, if you don't get it going you can at least console yourself with the fact that being a GS500 it never had much go to begin with :D

[Iceman]

Good point. By fucked it looks good parked though!
