Oh, yeah, I like that. Good lines, but strangely strange. Love that girder. Wish I was going along.
Expect some spoke settling on that rear wheel. Best bring a spoke wrench.
There's enuff room for my snap-on toolbox under that seat! :laugh::thumbsup:

So it doesn't always happen to just me... Dot 3 went all over my tank thanks to a crack in the reservoir (see photo in last post). Thank God I'm building a rat bike and didn't put a paint job on the tank.

Thanks Hugh your who I plan on getting my pma from for sure and some rephased goodies aswell but that takes money that I don't have right now
But I have a bike I'm going to hold off on starting for next year
 
I just got my build running this week, still needs carb tuning and I'm still finding nit-picky stuff to wrap up. I had originally planned to be there... Without a proper shake down period, no way am I riding 5 hrs... If I can line up a trailer, I might make a last minute trip.

Finished assembly yesterday and NO SPARK. I described the problem and what I've done so far in my build thread here: http://www.xs650.com/forum/showthread.php?t=31896&page=3

I'm an electrical idiot, but I did a bunch of reading on the site last night and this morning, and tried a bunch of stuff that didn't work, so if anybody has some insight, or even a link to a thread I probably missed, please let me know.

I'm leaving for the buildoff on Wednesday, so I have to have the bike running by then.
