God I cannot wait to take my classes this summer.

Apologies for the crappy phone pictures, I don't usually have my real camera in the garage when I'm working on my motorcycle.

So, this is what my bike looked like before I took it apart to take it to the powder coater.

I'm going to try and get it put together and running before the movers come and get my stuff towards the end of June, otherwise it won't be until the end of the year in Las Vegas that it will be finished.

I plan on putting a fender and sissybar on the back, just waiting on that to arrive.

I'll take more pictures and update when it comes back from the powder coater and I start final assembly.

Have to spread rep it seems..

Any reason that why you didn´t go with regular z bars?

It looks a bit busy on those bars.

Of course no deal breaker, just curious why you went with those.

The first time I saw a picture of the attack bars I really liked them. Z-bars are nice and i'll probably put them on a build in the future. Something more period correct.

I do agree, it is really busy on the bars but I think when you run a front brake the master cylinder is going to be an eyesore.

Just got this today... my third bike, i have been instructed to sell at least one of them, which will probably be my non-functioning 25 year old Kawasaki.

Hah! They are my bikes and my photos. I posted them on the CBR forum ages ago under the same user name

Are you still on them? What do / did you post under?

[jcotteri]

ahaha sorry mate. Great pics btw, i remember looking at them a while ago and wishing i had one (:

Figured it was a waste of time to put this in SuperMarket...

800cc. Fast as fuck for a 30 year old bike. Amazing shape, absolutely zero cosmetic damage. No dents, scratches etc.

Engine has been rebuilt, custom seat, carbs cleaned frequently. Custom built shifting mechanism to replace shitty stock hang-wire. You may never find an airhead that runs this well.

Available near Philly if anyone is interested, looking for 4K-ish.

[BrokenGlass]

This is what I want. If anyone in the bay area is trying to get rid of one or knows someone who is let me know.

I would pick this up in an instant if you were in the bay area. oh yeah, and if i had a little more cash.

[Westbrook]

I could arrange to have it shipped to you.

[andrewexd]

I just signed up for my MSF classes, July 2nd, cannot wait.

[andrewexd]

can someone advise me on which bike to choose at the msf course ? Should I go for the dirt bike / sports / or cruiser ? Im planning on riding a sport bike but Id rather pick a different one if its easier to learn on.

I've been to two different courses and all they had were Honda Rebels... One course had some Nighthawks.

[andrewexd]

hmm I see... Im assuming the place im going to has dirt bikes becaue of their website pics but I dont know if the have any sport bikes. I guess i'll just have to wait and see

[jcotteri]

use a sports bike if you can.. don't worry about how easy. they are all easy, just what will be good to learn on.. if you can't get a sports, go the cruiser.

[ROYALEFATALE]

this is DOPE, i'm near philly, just don't have 4K at the moment

[wild style]

Got my new tires put on last week. What a difference that made... feels like a new bike!

[hamburglar]

who here know about/builds bobbers?

i have some question about my bsa

[andrewexd]

i just took my 5 hour class which was easy... 100% on the test

[ADDIC]

Hope I pass my test. I start tomorrow, Sat. and Sun.

btw, what do they ask in the test? if you remember.

[andrewexd]

If you mean the class don't worry it's easy I finished the 50 questions in like 10 minutes. They pretty much go over each question in class. We went over 120 and the 50 bold ones are on the test.

[shimshimhae]

i want a cheap(<$2000) motorcycle/scooter/moped jawn. i don't need something powerful a small displacement (<250cc) seems fine.

i've just started looking so i'm confused as hell. I've never been into motorcycles until now.

however i think i want something that looks similar to this?

i know i must sound like a retard, could someone point me in the right direction?

edit: also, i want it to be street legal and i can use for short distances on highways (<10 miles) and can do around 50-60 easily with two passengers?

edit 2:actually scratch the highway driving? as you can tell, i have no clue wtf i'm doing here. can someone start me off?
