Thanks. It's been a fun project.

Update on the petcock. I turned it to "on" today and it started leaking everywhere.

Swapped back to original one for now to be able to ride

Pull it apart and make sure it was assembled properly. I just bought one that had the main and reserve tubes reversed, so I switched 'em. Maybe the seal in yours isn't positioned correctly.

Dave_D · 09-22-2014, 11:27 AM

It's riveted together ?
My guess is a seal

Dave

Weldangrind · 09-22-2014, 11:53 AM

Ah. Different from a Honda type. Did you contact the seller?

Dave_D · 09-22-2014, 01:03 PM

Don't think I'll bother. Might order another one. But I'll run the original one again for now.

Update

On the weekend I dropped the bike off at a buddy's and he did some work to it for me

Original exhaust.

I've wanted thus changed for a while. But I don't have any bits and pieces accumulated yet lol

My buddy has bike parts laying around and a few parts bikes ect. So he aid he'd see what he could do.

I think the mufflers off an older rm250 and the midpipe is a handle bar.
Looks like it fits very well. I have yet to see it in person.

He also trimmed up the front fender
Looks much better

I can't wait to pick it up lol. I'll probably go get it at lunch tommarow

He sent me a video of it running here

It sounds awesome lol. It's always had a broken header stud. He fixed that aswell

Dave

Dave_D · 01-29-2015, 09:56 PM

Video thumb nails never seem to work for me lol. Click it anyways. It works

Weldangrind · 01-29-2015, 10:08 PM

Dude, recover that seat for your lovely wife!

Epic win on using handlebars for exhaust tubing! The bike sounds good with that new muffler. A little paint, and that exhaust system will almost look factory.

SpudRider · 01-30-2015, 02:48 AM

I love the redeployment of the handlebar.

Adjuster · 01-30-2015, 01:33 PM

That handlebar exhaust pipe is the best thing I have ever seen.

Dave_D · 01-31-2015, 04:52 PM

It looks and sounds even better in person lol.
Also went to fabricland today and purchased a piece of vinyl for the seat
There was a minimum length so I got enough for about 4 try's for 16 bucks lol

Will post updates on that as they come

Dave

Dave_D · 02-01-2015, 12:23 AM

Dident get anything done on it. But took a pic of the material.
Look at the size if this lol

Don't know when I'll get to it. Trying to get a bunch done in our bathroom.
Currently in the middle of renoing it

Dave

SpudRider · 02-01-2015, 05:31 AM

That's a lot of material for $16.
