So I'll be riding a BUELL with the flag!

[heagachongoose]

That side mounted propane tank mod is genius!! I'm considering doing it to my bike. Might go for a bigger tank though, and I'm not sure how I feel about bungie cords though... I'll probably just use duct tape

Glad you got it back! Doesn't look like it'll cost too much to fix her.up. I got my bike stolen in October and got it back in November. Unfortunately the pos ran from the cops and wrecked it. Took me about 400 bucks to fix it

I never have to go far to be reminded why I love this community so much.

I have to say thanks to Xopti, he made this post after seeing random pictures on my facebook wall. With all the help he's given me I owe him a lot. If you guys need a cable, buy it from him. He backs our community and is always willing to help. He's a busy guy and I pester him about his bikes a lot (I think I did even more so after mine was stolen), but he definitely goes above and beyond for us.


(I couldn't take a screen shot of all the times people were helping me look and letting me know when parts popped up that looked like mine, there were many and they meant a ton to me. I even had a guy I've never ridden with help me get her home just because of this forum. Tons of people checked in with me frequently to see if anything popped up and I thank them all, Max, Donnie, Stephen, and all my Buelligans)

[up] if you need a ignition switch plug I have a brand new one I'm not using. It's yours if you need it. Hopefully they just cut the wires from the ignition to put a kill switch in and left your actual ignition mechanically sound. Let me know.

 

[wolfo68]

Yeah. They cut the pigtail off of the harness. I have more harnesses though. No worries.

 

[thrstrmech]

wow...holy crap, I'm at a lose for words.

I'm at a loss for words

That's how I've felt all week

 

[anrkizm95]

bungee a highly flamable gas TO THE SIDE OF THE MOTOR! The hottest part of the bike!

lol
i stared at that pic 20-30 times trying to figure out the purpose of that.ready to base,cook,check vacuum leaks,possible propane conversion,super hero for the candle freaks,enforcer for some M/C ???

 

[BuellyBagger]

Maybe he was a rapid response plumber...was there a roll of solder under the seat?

 

[wanta6th2]

The propane tank was for a potatoe gun to be mounted on the cr fairing? Mad max meth addict style?[confused]

so what was the 48? foot ball number circle track car ect? glad it finally got recoverd

 

[wolfo68]

so what was the 48? foot ball number circle track car ect?

oddly enough that actually was my football number. I have no idea what it was to them though.


And I got my exhaust gaskets and new stud nuts today, so I might rip her apart tomorrow so that I can ride her sooner rather than later.

 

[wolfo68]

So I decided to bit the bullet on a new igniton and ordered an M-lock. I know it's been on here a few times so I'm not going into detail about how it works.

 

[wolfo68]

Okay, so I've been slowly stripping paint off of things and replaced the exhaust gasket, there wasn't one in there! Idiot must have taken it out when he took the header off to paint.

The messed up ignition wires to the kill switch.

For whatever reason he was soldering on my battery [mad]

Oh and in the midst of this I bought and moved into my new house. Here is my fine china (fine America is more like it).

I also got my M-lock hooked up and the unit is functioning, I seem to have it hooked up incorrectly to actually pass the current through to the rest of the bike though.

This is way better than drawing a picture

 

[wolfo68]

you didn't like my drawing? lol

 

[Ghosted]

well some picyures are worth a thousand words....others arent...

JK

[wolfo68]

Still a work in progress but most of it is gone.

 

[BuellyBagger]
