Any winter projects to drool over?

[lung]

Hi every one! Still riding mine. The weather has been great. Got to do some maint thats about it this winter. oil etc etc nothing fancy

[Jobu]

Nah, same here. I've still been riding my winter project from last year.

Gonna slap an aluminum swinger on it this winter and try to clean up/redo the wiring if I ever get motivated. Plus some general maintenance such as oil and valve adjustment and probably a tire change at some point. And I'm really hoping to find some money for some new rims soon.

Glad to hear your project worked out. Almost a yr now since your rebuild.

what kind of rims you got on your mind?

No projects for my lil monster but my husband and I are doing a total rebuild of a '74 Yamaha Enduro DT 250. Motors completely rebuilt and the frame is down to metal. The sound of a 2 stroke is almost as good as my 695! Pic is before the tear down-

That Yamaha brings back memories. My first bike was a 79 Yamaha DT125.

I've got some car stuff to take car of, but a big bore engine will be in the works soon. New heads are already sitting on the work bench.

Do tell.

If there's anything that gives me a bigger woody than Ducs it's V8s.

And not the beverage.

nothing to drool over, but this winter i'll be doing:

- 24K service
- rizoma grips, reservoirs
- crankcase breather
- tidying up the under seat area so i can relocate my coils, and remove side panels

and i just added a sbk throttle assembly and removed the fast idle lever and cable. now i have a button that bumps the idle up 1K, and i just twist the throttle to lower it back down ... its pretty sweet.

All sounds cool. I sure would like to look over your shoulder when you do the 24k service.
