I sold mine. and bought THIS with the proceeds :) DSC00238 by goetzjordan, on Flickr

well, the blue book value of the bike is about 300.00 i was expecting a total loss. AAAAAnd this give me more excuses to cut and grind more bits of it off. though it will probably end up in more of the rat rod end of the spectrum now. oh well.

HAHA!!!! Allstate is sending me a check for 807.70 for repairs. ! WOOOOOOT! praize JESUS!

thanks rvrnd.

she was out. ill post pics tomorrow, the bike was really starting to come together too. oddly enough, it seems to run better now.

Bad first. I watched a woman's suv roll backwards down a hill and onto my bike. Good news she had insurance. question- how likely is allstate to total it and how much do you think they will give me for it if they do handlebar risers, speedo, tach, exhaust and tank all need replaced...

That pulls the rear axle back to tighten drive chain. Where can i find a replacement. I have looked at: lowes, ace, napa, oreileys, no one seems to have an 8mm bolt long enough to do the job. any ideas?

yeah, really, the trip made me want a bigger bike. This is a wonderful little scoot for around town but NOT a highway machine. Also, F*Ing pea gravel was EVERYWHERE in the twisties.

Rode up to charlottesville Va from Charlotte nc, took 29n from greensboro, 40's and rain on the way up. Realized REAL quick that this is NOT a touring bike. Then a good nights rest and the Blue Ridge Parkway for HOURS. Again. not a touring bike. If your ever out that way, pm me i can give you...

do you have the stock fusebox? you may want to replace it, its an easy and cheap fix that will save you future trouble.

get someone to run that plate # and egg his house...

looked like intent to me. send it to the cops, and the local tv station. Nothin like a little public shame.

Mmmmmmm HHHHHMMMMMMMMMM!!! FIXED!!! freaking fantastic, I can now redline it without it acting like its running out of gas. Had to go up to a 147.5 on the mains. but it runs great now. way way way more responsive. thanks all for the advice anyways. Taking it in a 600 mile round trip next weekend.

wow, ok, shimming the needle seemed to help a little bit, and its running fine on 140 main jets, by fine i mean the stumble hasnt gotten worse. I wouldnt know timing from a hole in my head. Im hoping it's a fuel delivery issue, will def check the petcock next time im empty. i have not had the...

Mikuni bs34's with the non adjustable needles :( 1980xs400sohc I have owned the bike for almost six months now and ever since the first ride there has been a BIG flat spot on the power curve at the top end. It is most noticable when the engine is under heavy load (60-70mph) at around 5500rpm...

yeah, the guy used a teeny tiny drill bit and tapped each broken section, then stuck em together with a pin. good luck

the possibilities... :) Love it.

so... is that the exhaust you are going to run? what is that stuff called?

I cant remember, next time im at my buddies garage ill check it out and get back to ya. It was rattle can stuff. We just scuffed the chrome up with scotchbrite and sprayed it. It looks freakin fantastic.

Rode to school and back again, I put about 150-200 miles on it a week. spend about 14 in gas. Lovin it.
