old_school wrote:Genisis, do you have a build thread going? I'm wanta see pics! So I was thinking about doing a winter fzr build and sell it in the spring. Just because I'm familiar with the FZR and could knock one out fairly easily. Unless I find a great bike, really cheap I'm gonna try something new.

Rebuilding / Street fightering a 91 600. It came to me in pretty rough shape, and sans running motor (more details on that when I post my build). I've got it all stripped down and cutting the frame for a R6 tail swap and YZF tank swap as we speak. And then the frame goes off to get powder-coated. It's also getting a YZF front end. Hoping to have it all said and done by the spring.
Munzo! Now that's what I'm talkin about! We need a good 20 page build thread my far looked great from 10ft, I always wanted to do a complete tear down and redo my frame that looked like crap. I just could take apart a perfectly running bike for fear I wouldnt put it back together
Well, I still need to finish up Panda. I have a fighter in the shop I can't get to run on all 4 no matter what I try. I have another build still looking for a name. Currently referring to is as "teh sex." Heh. My bike needs to have a few parts swapped around on it so I can sell it come spring. And then I still have my plans for my personal, full blown build. I'm hoping to at least make a little headway on her. I've been collecting parts for the last year. We shall see if I get enough time and help in the shop to do any damage.
Then there is all the work that comes into the shop on top of the full-time job to keep insurance. With the shop starting to take off more we'll see if I'm even coherent after winter or if I'm just a mumbling madman who hasn't slept in 5 months!
Kid! Don't forget the scooper finish work! I'm still following that one.
Chefen, nice car I love the convertBle top. Nothing like that in the U.S.
So, I've been scouring craigslist and eBay for the past 2 weeks . Almost a few hits yesterday.. The 70's Honda cb are
Poking good and I found an old boniville hardtail for almost 2k and it comes with a box of parts.

I've been taking pictures the whole time. I'll start a thread up here soon. I wanted to make sure I would get far enough on it. Didn't want to post a build thread and not get any farther than tearing it down. I've been known to get distracted and forget about projects

I really need to get the lads ped restored and sold and then the RG125 completed. I also have my dads AE86 to get sorted so I can use it again coz I miss driving that thing Soooooooo much
Plus I need to get the taiolstock on the lathe sorted or even find a different lathe so I can get some of my projects out the way

What plans are these? Don't see many Bauer E30's in good shape these days anyway. Going 24v on it?

Closing in on a 1965 triumph tiger t100 hard tailed frame ( welded) she's a barely a roller. It's got the look I'm lookin for just don't want to pay 3k for a box of parts and wheels . Hopefully I can cut a deal.
