Marco810:
Will do tuck
the head stay bearings fit without any problem just needed to be shimmed. i also dropped off the front spindle at a local machine shop for them to modify enabling me to use my hub. will post some pics when i get progress
Marco810:
Pipe fit nice and snug, pleased with the fitment. it started to rust though so i clear coated it.
why buy a bike stand when you have a bucket, right?
Got the fork stops worked out, should get my spindle back mon or tues, then ill begin mounting the caliper. also i seem to be missing the little rubber bits that mount the bar holder and i wont be able to order new ones for a while :-(

"why buy a bike stand when you have a bucket"
Ha-ha! I've only recently went to an old wooden box of sorts...
Been using buckets forever. My only advice would be to watch out during summer. I had a "Bucket fail" due to heat.
The garage got pretty hot, the bucket got soft and collapsed... only happened once in like 15 years... :|
It was the XR 600, Kinda the Pre- Big Red Pig
Pipe looks good and the forks just needed shims... good deal. Hope to hear a ride report soon!
Take care,
Tuck\o/
quickrip:
very curious about the dep pipe. Ive heard great things. Have you tried it out yet?
Goat:
Very nice build. Makes me want to get my build going. I have had a 95 250 frame laying around for over a year now. I need to get in gear and find another K5 engine to start my build.
I'm interested in a review of the dep pipe as well.
