Re: The $100.00 endurance bike project!

Thanks Mark, it's getting there. I forgot how much work it is to build a race bike, good thing I enjoy the process. :D

Re: The $100.00 endurance bike project!

There have been quite a few jobs done on the old FJ since the last update. The carbs have been rebuilt and installed. The front brakes have been fixed up, installed and bled. Battery tray was fabricated and installed in the tail section. Replaced the rusted muffler with a D&D kijjii find, still ...

Re: The $100.00 endurance bike project!

Chain was 3 links too short. :D I have a line on another one for a barter deal. I need to update the build cost list, we have spent a bunch more $$ since the last instalment. She is almost ready to start, just waiting for a few items. Big jobs left are to build some rear sets, finish wiring, build t...

Re: PRO6 Cycle

We dropped by Saturday, great shop! Staff was awesome and once they are done with the finishing touches their shop will be impressive. Lots of rubber in stock! While you're there drop by and see Dean, he has a cool store in the same mall!

Re: The $100.00 endurance bike project!

Looks like the old TZ seat will work perfectly, just need to weld up some support brackets and we'll be good. http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u362/pbal4/1eff49059d9f1311ff6040a4159a0baa_zpsc1ejvoiq.jpg http://i1064.photobucket.com/albums/u362/pbal4/3735781a893186dbf03e948136425b82_zpsbxpmaenz.jpg

Re: The $100.00 endurance bike project!

The project is finally on its wheels and starting to look like a bike! We discovered the rear tire had a good size hole in it which explains our difficulty trying to seat the bead. So, I mounted another tire I had which will work until we find a suitable replacement We also mounted the FZ600 exhaust...

Re: The $100.00 endurance bike project!

Got a few projects done, forks rebuilt, nice surprise is some previous owner upgraded the springs to progressive style...bonus! The fork seals were toast but otherwise in good shape. Bearings replaced in the swing arm. The rear mono shock seems to work and is not leaking so we will give it a try. Fr...

Re: The $100.00 endurance bike project!

So, I have a bunch of very used TZ bodywork I'm thinking of using on this project. This does 2 things, makes the bike look a little more unique and gets more crap out of my basement. They are too beat up to put on my TZ so the "junk yard dog" is going to get them! :D I played around with p...

Re: The $100.00 endurance bike project!

Engine inspected, checked valves, removed pan, checked clutch, all in great shape. Gave it a good clean up and a bit of paint and it should be good to install in the frame. :D

Re: The $100.00 endurance bike project!

Well, it's time to get back on the fj endurance bike project. We have located a pair of slightly pre-enjoyed Avon racing tires for $100.00, thanks Ray! The cost for piston rings and a gasket set will cost us well over $300 but we luckily found a lightly used complete motor and a 4/1 exhaust system o...
