Ok..well last year during the sturgis rally i went down pretty hard. i wasnt so much worried about my self as my new bike. and i started the repair on it yesterday. i didnt get much done..except dropping it off of the lift on to a truck tranny and putting a dent in the good side of the tank:) (damint)

so i will post pics here as i order parts and put the bike together untill i put the final parts on it!

here is what it looked like before i wrecked.

Wow.. You went down pretty good! I am excited to see the rebirthing process!

So what are your plans as far as fixing her? Gonna get a high mount and street fighter or what? Since all your plastics are being changed, are you changing colors?

Not gonna street fighter it..gonna try to make it back to what i had..with a custom color of coarse..i just havent decided on one yet..i was thinking all black with some green tribal and some green accent pieces.

nice bike man...well it was...but glad to see your still standing!

Yep!

my body ended up hitting a tree at around 45 mph. that broke my pelvis and my knee..somewhere along the process of sliding i ended up tearing my rotators cuff to..not a fun deal..but im excited to get back on the bike!

How much did the medical bill cost?

im 17.. so i didnt see the bills..thankfully.

ambulance ride are insane tho..like $1000.00 per mile or something.

diging the thread back up:D

i finally fixed my engine!

i put a manual CCT in.
new fork seals.
new exhaust.
changed my oil.

all that took me about 5 hours [&:]..i coulda made better time but im getting sick, so i didnt over do it...right now i just placed an order for a new upper fairing stay, new spike bar ends, a chrome fluid cap, new brake levers and a throttle sleve :)

next week i will order the fairings and paint them on a saturday when they get here and i will be done! (sorry, no pics...didnt take my camera to the shop.)

winscreen is on its way..tomorrow i will be replacing the fork seals and making an undertray..i have a winscreen ordered..but it hasnt arrived yet..slowely coming together tho!


-JD

Looks like it is really coming together. Are you going to go with the same paint?

wow...gotta lot of work ahead of you, good luck!

paint will be black..with red or green tribal flames..havent decided yet.

and theres not to much work left..hardest parts are out of the way..just gotta maybe find a cheap tank..that things going to take years to pull out.


i replaced the for seals..but one of them must have been bad or something..cause its leaking already..so i have to do that once they get here..sometime this week..

and make an undertray and wait for my winscreen to get here..then i think i can go riding!

One quick tip - make sure your camera isn't in a "Macro" mode - look for a flower icon - that frequently can cause your blurry pix.

Nice work so far!

i just tried messing with it.. i dont know what wrong with it..i even reset it to its default settings and it still just puts lines through the pics.


by the way, mycvil, i see you are in ND?? what part?..im just south of ya.

coming along nicely! looking forward to seeing the finished paint.

just curious, what gear did you have on when you went down at sturgis? and do alot of sportbikes actually go to that?

The cold part ;-) Grand Forks - First true riding season coming up - I'm pumped to send the wife and kids to the lake early on Friday, then I get to ride on down with no kiddie bathroom breaks, snack breaks, dog barking, etc..., Just me and the nice open North Dakota/Minnesota straightaways...

nice..were not to far apart..we might have to ride sometime!


and a ton of bikes go down during sturgis..not so many sport bikes i guess..but in general..there is so many people a day that die.

but i was wearing my icon mainframe helmet, my icon merc jacket, and my icon riding jeans..(i guess i like icon :D) and some leather gloves.



hopefully its put back together and insured with full coverage by mid april.

yay..i just bought this

off of ebay just a second ago..tough bidding action..my heart was racing haha.

anyways it ran me a little more thn i wanted to spend on a tank..i got it for $200.00 shipped.

Leave it primer gray. It reminds me of High School and everyone had '68 Novas with hood scoops all half done. keep us posted.

haha to be honest i like the gray color..maybe ill just get some black flame vynal and call it done:D

finally pretty much finished it this weekend..took alot of hours and alot of work..but it was so worth it.
