My cafe seat came in yesterday. Hopefully I'll have it mounted tomorrow :3

Kstorm21 · April 29th, 2012, 05:49 PM

Can we get a check-in?
Two seriously hurt in early morning motorcycle crash

imataiwanezz · April 29th, 2012, 06:18 PM

I'm 19 but its not me.

Gorilla25 · April 29th, 2012, 08:36 PM

Not me

Mountain Dew · April 30th, 2012, 02:08 AM

My bike is always broken, so it wasn't me :P

srs though, I didn't get my seat done today

It took a LOT longer than I thought it would. I MIGHT finish it in time for work tomorrow, but probably not :/

imataiwanezz · April 30th, 2012, 02:22 AM

Dam, good luck Jaymie

BTW do you have a Fb im tryin to add mostly everyone so it'll be easier to coordinate rides. I've already created an event on FB

Gorilla25 · April 30th, 2012, 04:46 AM

i do, i'll add u in a sec. the only thing tho is that my family dont know about the bike, and would like to keep it that way for now. so anything motorcycle related, i'd like to keep in PM's as i do with other friends.

edit: i think i sent a request a while ago. it says my friend request has been sent

imataiwanezz · May 2nd, 2012, 01:04 AM

hopefully I'll have my gopro by then as well

Your girlfriend is flying in and your sad you can ride your motorcycle??? Hmmm

Mountain Dew · May 3rd, 2012, 09:36 PM

Mail order bride?

Finished the temporary mount for my seat. Unupholestered for now.

Kstorm21 · May 3rd, 2012, 10:02 PM

ummm....is there a cushion that goes on that seat? I look really uncomfortable.

Mountain Dew · May 3rd, 2012, 10:20 PM

Yeah, I just haven't made it yet :P

I rode it about 30 minutes like that, and just because of the ergonomics change, it's more comfortable than with the stock seat. I just had to avoid bum to bolt contact.

My gf is great and I'm happy she's coming, but it seems like I always miss these group rides because of something.

Jaymie: you joining us on the 28th?

Kat: hurry already!

we want you to come join us on rides

Mountain Dew · May 4th, 2012, 12:37 AM

Yeah I'll probably be there the 28th. By then I should have my wheel bearings changed, a new fender on, a permanent seat mount, a decent muffler, and I'll probably be going back to the stock airbox for now.

Gorilla25 · May 4th, 2012, 12:39 AM

nice. see ya there...oh, the time you saw me for a brief moment last week...i picked up my CBR hugger

I saw that one too...Lots of pregens lately too. The Army Times had a Best Motorcycle section in it this past week and he saw the Ninja was one of the sport ones.
He said, "It's a 250R or something."
I said, "I know...that's the one I want."
He said, "Well, it's only $4100. That's not bad."
I said, "I know but after you pay all the extra crap like crate fees and stuff it's close to 6k."
He said, "2k for extra stuff??? That's ridiculous!"

Heh, that's the other arm of the side stand. Kickstands are always on the left. You just can't see it :P

rz3r0 · May 4th, 2012, 09:57 PM

What? I thought the CB550 of that specific year came with stabilizers, which allow the bike to remain upright when not in motion!

Mountain Dew · May 4th, 2012, 10:34 PM

Sadly no, only the 77-78 models came with it

Mountain Dew · May 7th, 2012, 12:40 AM

**** me...

Gorilla25 · May 7th, 2012, 12:44 AM

what broke? that dont look too good...prolly some metal fell inside too

Mountain Dew · May 7th, 2012, 12:50 AM

That's the tappet adjusting screw that blew out and took the tappet cover with it. The thing visible through the hole is the rocker arm. The threads in there is where the tappet adjusting screw goes. Below the screw is the valve.

Gorilla25 · May 7th, 2012, 01:02 AM

oh goodness...that project is becoming more of a pain then a joy. buy your new bike already so it can be broken in or close to it by our cruise on the 28th

Mountain Dew · May 7th, 2012, 01:09 AM

Heh, this SHOULD be fixed by then. But I have to wait til about the 29th before I finally get a discount on bikes.

Gorilla25 · May 7th, 2012, 01:27 AM

damn..SHOULD be fixed?...damn..thats a pretty big "should" and kinda sux you gotta wait a while till you get discounts. its understandable tho. they dont want people working there for the discount then bailing after...

Mountain Dew · May 7th, 2012, 01:44 AM

Well, best case scenario, I just need to replace the tappet screw and nut, MAYBE the rocker arm. Worst case I bent the valve, damaged the piston, and dropped some debris into the cylinder.

I'm really kinda hoping for the latter, so I have an excuse to do a big bore.

Mountain Dew · May 7th, 2012, 01:51 AM

Heh, this started happening after I did the initial damage (the damage in the picture happened during a test ride after I cleaned my carbs (I thought that's what was wrong).
