No i dont have a tail section nor a radiator, i need one of those as well, mine works just has a dent in the side of it. wish i could have been more of a help.

 

I have 99% of this bike ordered and on the way. I'll be posting pics as it comes together. I also meant to ask if the stock chain on these bikes have gold links? I was told I may have a nice aftermarket chain, but figure you guys will know for sure. I'll have to clean it a bit and look for markings or something.

 

Quick update, I got it mostly together and it started! I'll post pictures tomarrow night. My risers come in this week, and then all I need are the headlights to show up and I"m on the road. It looks pretty ragged with the beatup gastank, but right now it's entirely function over form.

 

I've got forks and a minty tank for you if you're interested!!!

I could make it a nice deal for you - $250+ shipping. Didn't see forks up there so I thought you might need them too, I dunno...

Let me know and good luck!

 

P.S. I see you have forks...

Tank is still up for sale - I would do $100 for it plus shipping if you want a clean one.

 

Chain is prolly RK or DID gold series. Definitely not OEM.

 

It says DID on it, I will be sure to look it up now. Thanks for the tip, I'm new to sportbike parts. If you need a VW to go so fast it bends/cracks the firewall, I know much more...

Do you have a pic of the tank? I would like one not beat in. I don't have a desire to do stunts, so riding around with a beat in tank makes me feel like a liar. I will definitely buy it if it's nice and round, even a scratch or two is ok.

Pics of current progress in a few minutes.

 

Ok, massive progress since last week. I picked the motor up on Thursday and created this freakish unicycle on the garage floor:



Here are some side projects.

Broken tab on the rear plastics, I welded it together with a soldering iron, and painted it:






The tank is beat, but functional, so I painted it to help match and hide the giant dents in it( painted pic is on the bike at the end of the post):




Here are the two taps that were fixed, welding cast aluminum is no joke:




I'm using the riser bars and controlls off a buell lightning and had to adapt the throttle cables. Here are the buell cables tight as they go on the 929 mount:



Now with the stock 929 cable end next to them:



I cut the 929 cables and took a thin grinding wheel to them and the nuts so they would slide over the buell cable:



They are larger than the buell cable housing ends, so slide together perfectly. Here is the final product:



And the "new" controls:




This adds a hi-beam trigger on the left contol and I already re-wired the kill/starter switches on the right side.

Here is the bike as of today:




My handlebar risers will be in this week, which makes it rideable, but not completely street legal, I still need headlights and a few finishing touches. It started right up and no codes as well. Thanks everyone so far for the deals on parts and helpful advice.

 

Man, I'm already so happy for you!!!

Yeah, I'll go snap some pics right now. You need that upper? It's all black with no decals and has a (nicely, I might add) repaired left tab - bondo+light scuff=perfect.

... I'll go snap some pics.

 

Well you're in luck... sort of. Ironic, the guy that sold me the tank got rid of it because it feel from a shelf in his garage. When I went to the garage to get the parts for pics, the tank was laying top-down on the gravel/dirt floor. My advice is, if you buy this DON"T LEAVE IT ANYWHERE NEAR A GARAGE!

Anyway, it was only a small dent in the front right side, now it's got chipping around the gas cap and on the left top. Doesn't matter to you anyway because you're painting it, I'm sure. I'm gonna make you a sweet deal too.













Here's the repair...


Here's a pic to show how well it was repaired...


I'll give ya the whole kitten caboodle for $125+ shipping. If you don't need it all then you can have the tank for $50+ shipping. I paid $100 for a nasty one... and I have pics to prove it Also paid $100 for a fiverglass upper (doesn't have inner/side fairing mounting tabs).

Anyway, I'm happy for ya man. Looking great! Let me know if I can help ya.
