Deputy Gene's XR 650 gets new stuff
Hey, long time no post, but I just had some mods done to the Big red Pig and wanted to show them. I have had plans to ride the pig on the Transamerica trail, but I have been working every weekend off on our cheap mountain cabin so much that the bikes have been neglected.
I scored this XR's only tail pipe off of ebay over the winter. That along with Dave's Mods, new jets and air filter really woke the pig up. Here is a better shot The Kenda 270 has almost 3000 miles on it, still has some wear left. The stock front tire, at 5400 miles is about gone [/img] Here is what has been eating up all of my time. This is four weekend in; Slowly, as I am not a construction worker and had to figure stuff out as I went along. Here it is now [/img] This cabin has been built on the cheap, one weekend at a time. The framing lumber is all seconds from a home supply store bought up over a years time. Same with the doors and windows. It is a 2 room cabin, living room/kitchen and bedroom/bathroom at about 460 sq feet. The exterior wood is pine trees rough cut at a small local mill. Here is the interior of the living room My made from scratch kitchen cabinet It is well insulated And another shot of the current status [/img] I hope to be mostly done by the end of July. Maybe then I can get back into my TAT quest.
