Default On the road again
Finally got the bike running. After cramming a 750 motor in it, getting the valves done, and too many other things to mention, it finally runs.

I doubt physical dimensions are that much different but for some reason that just looks like a whole lot of engine stuck in that frame.

Sand bagging is what I do. I dye my hair blonde because people expect a whole lot less of me that way!

That Rhino liner is some tough stuff have you thought of using it as a glue to hold the chain mail on?

Congrats Tina, I'm glad you got her back on the road again. I like the idea of leaving the "650" badges...I already know about the chain mail(male?), but where is the mace and other goodies that you were going to install ?

Mace? Maybe a paint ball gun mounted on the front fender!

Still have to put the windshield on, it has teeth and spikes on it.
