Hi
Again maybe - I may have been a member about a year ago. I'm in the UK and have a 900 C which I'm currently stuffing a wiseco 985 kit into - mainly cos the stock bores were worn out ( mileage unknown ) and I got lucky.
Heres the bike after the first rebuild - before I knew the motor needed some work, its currently in bits again

Ta for the welcome PD750 and Fastspider - hey PD - if every man makes his own chains why are we all riding shafties ????? Razz

NOTE: in this context all means some and riding means anything from operating the vehicle on a public highway to kneeling in a pool of oil on a cold stone floor holding a spanner in your mouth while using masking tape to repair skinned knuckles Laughing

And she did say 'why are we all riding shafties? I'm starting to wonder. Come on vyxxn, tell us the truth. Wink

he's a dude not a dudette, down greg

Yep - definately a dude - the bikes in the background are a pair of 20 valve Yams - an FZ 750 and a 750 Maxim - both 1985's

heres the maxim

the zorsts on the CB are a set of slash cut drag pipes found on ebay as new old stock then cut and welded to get the angles right to stick the 4 17 inch reverse cones on - it was a bastard of a job greatly helped by angle grinding the centre stand lugs off the bike ( never do this with a fully charged battery fitted with the breather pipe hanging down unless you really enjoy loud noises and buying new batteries ) Razz
