Title: Re: Some Pics of my new (to me anyway) ride Post by: Rob Hilding on June 28, 2008, 02:45:43 PM Well, it's heeeeeereeeee.......
Has a 750 Pantah dry clutch engine - some Mikuni flat slides, updated ignition, and......... Still looking - not a bad buy for $1k (so far anyway) Gotta be roadworthy for MotoGP........ See you at IBN ('cause I know I won't see you a L.Seca ;D) Title: Re: Some Pics of my new (to me anyway) ride Post by: GregP on June 28, 2008, 03:11:36 PM If you live 3 miles from Laguna Seca it will qualify as road worthy!! [cheeky]
I had a limited that I paid a grand for. Spent about $3k over the next two years keeping her going. I miss that bike, RIP.

[laugh] congrats Rob [thumbsup] Title: Re: Some Pics of my new (to me anyway) ride Post by: Rob Hilding on July 02, 2008, 08:11:18 AM It's not an 851, but it is a high compression 750? with cam and head work-
It ran for a few seconds - no knocks or clanks......... Now if I could just find some new shoes :( Seems they are not available as of this time (damnit!) If anybody has a source: 160/60-16 Rear 130/60-16 front please Title: Re: Some Pics of my new (to me anyway) ride Post by: Rob Hilding on July 03, 2008, 12:34:48 PM It seems I am SOL on tires......
So - we change to 17" and 300mm rotors, keep everything else calipers, forks, clip ons, etc. And hope for minimal spacers. Stay tuned........ |
