What have you done to your XS today?

"A place to post up what'cha been doing in the garage or on the road. As always show us the pics!" gggGary

Today I gave her a wash
then got out the carnauba wax and waxed her.
lubed the drive chain
checked oil
ordered a new front master cylinder that looks retro instead of the modern one I have now. It will look much better and work well too.

Prepped mags for powder... Bearings out, tires and rotors off. Both of which were shitty jobs!

 

[Airwolfie]

Built an electrics box and added the starter key as well!

 

[sseres]

I went down to the shop and polished the cases a little bit, then looked at it for a while.

Got my EX-500 CVK Carb components almost all sourced. Went and sourced some 1/16" E-clips from Ace Hardware to hold the PWK-GJH needles.

Today I'll be receiving a substantial McMaster-Carr order to tidy up some hardware, finish off the CVK's with new screws, do a bench sync + wild guess at idle speed, fuel lines, etc. Then start measuring for throttle cables for my 2003 GSXR Throttle Housing -> EX-500 carbs.

Finish up some electrical for the tag light.

Maybe I won't get to all that today. It is like 10 degrees out and my fingers will become Ice almost immediately.

I took some 1000 grit wet sand paper and sanded out the scratches on my valve covers. That took few hours.

Made a bracket out of some L-brackets for my fake oil tank! And then mounted it to the bike!

Put miles on it

71 removed the front fender, have to reweld the bracket where the tubes cracked off the center section. Next up getting rid of the extended fork tubes. I took a bunch of stuff to the chrome plater, I am suffering sticker shock but will probably pull the trigger, looks like I'll have to drop about $1000, what the whole bike cost new.

I have straights with just a touch of glasspack. Mom said it isnt that loud. I barked it, she jumped. Awesome!!

I was out, trying to get this hunk dialed in with jetting, but managed to ride a few decent wheelies, no slouchers either, a good 60-100ftrs :d.. Its close but not right yet, still aggravating me, fuk.

 

[emzdogz]

I worked on my battery box and wiring. A little.

 

[AceofSpades]

Pulled the motor out of the 81 buildoff bike.... prbably gonna swap out rear wheel tomorrow and sell off the mags....
