[Mitchell]

But the days are getting longer now and springtime weather is just around the corner!!!unk:

I hear ya and agree 100%

 

[gamorg02]

Wow, thats a shitload of snow! I guess I need to be thankful that we only got 6" on Christmas Eve.

Now back to the thread.... Last week I re-installed the ceramic coated rear headers and S-trapp cans. No more turning gold from the heat and they run a lot cooler now:biglaugh: I also powdercoated some new pegs I picked up. Thanks again for the good deal Garrett:eusa_dance:

What did you do, pull the shingles and sheeting off the roof to change a light bulb? :biglaugh:

Rebuilt the waterpump, painted misc parts, and began the long, arduous process of putting Toxic back together.

Garrett, are you talkiing about the peg adapters? If so, the front adapters were PC'd. I almost did the rear adapters, but kept them chrome by choice.

good stuff. fits good?

 

[Mitchell]

Yeah, they fit very well.The factory chrome plating wasn't great. But since they were powdercoated, that didn't matter anyway.

 

[gamorg02]

nice. thanks man.

I looked at it while I cleaned the garage this morning. Jan 11th is the day I place the order for all the new stuff. Soon I'll have a matching rotor for the rear, Tail section w/pillion pad, double scoops, and then I'll finish putting the LED accent lights on her then she'll be done and ready for summer.

On Christmas at my parents I walked down stairs into the basement and turned the key to fill the float bowls up with fresh fuel.

It's still snug as a bug in a rug...

Looks great Clay! Where did you get the bolts for the rotors and Carr webs? I need to 86 my black ones as they rust when wet.

Thanks Chris! You have an excellent eye:eusa_dance:

I killed those rusting SOB's right after I put the Carrs & Rotors on. The button head stainless bolts were from a local nut and bolt supplier. Their warehouse is like searching for metric stainless gold. If you know what I mean? Anyway, they came unpolished so I spent a few minutes making them shine on my buffer and they sealed the deal.

:rofl_200::rofl_200::rofl_200: Doesn't everybody?

 

[Jayhawk]

Did the pea shooter today, still trying to get the somewhat sloppy 3k RPM and below performance worked out. Too damn cold and nasty today to ride to find out if it helped, or not (as I suspect). :bang head:

 

[CaptainKyle]

Well I finally got around to pulling the tank out of my bike & cleaning it with acid letting it dry out now so I can seal it in the morning & finish cleaning my carbs & I got the 85 FJ 1100 that I just bought fired up & synced the carbs on it just what I needed another project.LOL
