Great! Just had to ask, saw it wobblin' during the cam bushing episode...

 

[I am Carbon]

Oh yes it wobbles the bike is in a wheel chalk which is on an homemade motorcycle dolly. which had 8 caster wheels
I like that You ask.
I see that You have a good eye for spoting things wrong on our bikes.

I'm a chronic OCD picture-straightener, love watching 'Monk', can relate. Living in the woods with all the misplaced rocks and uneven trees is good therapy, until I get on this forum, then it's nit-nit-nit-pick. Glad to be of help, or irritation...

Carbon, is that forwards and mid pegs?

 

[I am Carbon]

Why yes it is.
For long rides they might be good on the knees.
I left the mounts for when I get tired of this configuration mostly
I thought I would see what they look like.
What do You think of the look?

I think it looks good. I would leave it as it makes that big mid mounting plate tolerable. Lol plus it gives you the best of both for long rides. I get cramps in my hips from mids so being able to adjust would be nice. It is the opposite of what you usually see, functioning mids with highway bars.

I think I like then too, now I have to clean them up.

Yes they are different.
I don't think I've seen them that way before.
I guess that's me a round pig in a square hole.

 

[I am Carbon]

Well I have just learned that my 3.2 gallon fuel tank is a 4.2 gallon tank.
I just don't look that large.
So bonus for me less fuel stops

 

[Airwolfie]

Coming on nicely Carbon!!

 

[I am Carbon]

Thanks Airwolfie
It wont be long now for a start up.
If the engine sounds good, maybe a ride too before adjustments start.

 

[I am Carbon]

well I took out the brushes , cleaned the connections, and replaced them.
they are 1/8" to the good
I think I will go for a ride
I'll get back to this later

Well done sir. Go ahead and create some more interesting things. Don't forget to share with us. We love everything that is creative. What do you think, how are you going to run it, on gas,petrol or diesel?

 

[I am Carbon]

Thanks crescendo.
I like creative things too.
I will run her on gas

 

[Airwolfie]

Thanks crescendo.

You need to throw in a flux capacitor methinks. Get that aerial on the back , strap it onto your sissy bar. and run under some high voltage cables at 55mph and see where it takes you!!!

 

[I am Carbon]

Airwolfie that's right I need one of those.
I was looking to get one about 6 months ago.
Buy they are a bit pricy.
They might be a bit to large for the ole XS
Not sure where I could put the damn thing too.

[Airwolfie]

Damn! that is pricey! Maybe try and make your own? I mean, if some nutty professor could do it in the 80's in a shed, imagine what we could do now??! Maybe a mini version?!

 

[I am Carbon]

I think so A mini version it is.
Shouldn't cost more than $40 US
Of course I'll have to out source from China
