Why doesn't the OP put something up in 'Parts Wanted' under 'May's little Monster' so we can keep a running total of items that we all need to scour through our spares for as a donation to this worthy cause...

oh well...thanks, I have a hard time with doing that sorta thing...just a personal issue I have I guess, I have always had a hard time about asking for something....rather work hard and earn it I suppose. My father is old school and he kinda beat that into me.

However I have been thinking about that very thing, but really wanted to get her all apart and see what she really needs.
I was thinking about going through it this weekend and then noting everything and I guess I can make a list and post it.

thanks guys

It's a community, we help each other and even the buying and selling usually has goodwill.
Cheers.

Imo it's kinda like recycling. Most of us have perfectly good spares all over our garages that either aren't worth the hassle of selling or the $ isn't proper motivation to get it together. It's more fun to see the parts live on and get put to good use.

I Never sold anything to a DMF member, only gave things away.  I did buy from DMF members, always a pleasant experience.  Also got some great unsolicited freebies from DMF members.  Yep, we are a community.

Just a little update.

Managed to pull the forks off and the the front wheel. Will pull the tires off and possibly start prepping them for painting this weekend. Not sure as I will have company this weekend...bah.



Just a little plasti dip on them. replacing the fork oil in them, been draining them for a week.



got this in the mail.

however...



PO put sheet metal along here and riveted all up. arg. Soo...trying to decide how to best deal with it. More than likely just going to weld them up.

I will be posting a WTB thread maybe this weekend also. may and I are going to make a list of everything we need to get her back on the road.

One thing I know is the headlight is going to be an issue. I would really like to get that LSL one...but its not in the budget for now....so we are going to need the headlight, and the brackets and all that stuff.

current events.

So my birthday is coming up, and my mother decided to get me an early present.





so needed this stuff. new workbench, dremel, palm sander, respirator, some sand paper, ect ect.

So I didnt want to waste the whole weekend without working on the bike at all, so I grabbed the tank and worked on that a bit. I was a bit worried in a spot that is in the front of the seat, there was a section 3x5 I would say that looked very wavy and terrible, I was hoping it wasnt a bunch of bondo or something. Pulled out the new palm sander and went to work.....good news, the tank seems ok here....but what I found was interesting.



In the background its spiderweb, and at the bottom, an iron cross. Its not painted, but marker maybe? not sure. but weird. Ohwell.

also I noticed that that hideous brown cover on the seat was actually covering the old one. so I took it off.



just gotta clean it up and should be a decent seat for me if I feel like riding it.

todays fun





All that black is plastidip, I am a little surprised how durable it is. regardless, all of it has to come off to get ready for the new color






got a little ADD here and got sidetracked, hehe, anyway, I had a left over 48" LED panal from an aquarium I used to have. which I mounted up with some aluminum I had laying around. It worked out great, and I now have alot more light.



Not sure if I want to go to bikeweek tomm, or work on her bike. We shall see.

And good god man...I hope that @sshole doesn't go into tattooing...but I bet he will or already does. 

[Jonny Black]

hahahahhah

quik question, I am thinking about ordering some shorty levers for her, but when I do it looks like a cable clutch lever is what comes up for the bike....but this bike has a hydraulic clutch....so how do I search for that and know that it will work? I have never had a bike with a hydraulic clutch before.

thanks
