Picked up this sweet piece for $200 on Father’s Day. Kicker is locked as of now, which I believe is due to the output shaft. Going to split the cases and refresh worn out components as well as add the 4th gear shift drum and update the output shaft to a stronger unit. Already has a two bros exhaust and pro taper high bars, and I plan to add some other tall guy accessories and do a modern twist to a 90s Kawi
The Shop
Is it really a used bike if you don’t find at least one of these fasteners on it?
I can tell this bike has sat in the last 1-2 hurricanes just by this chain.
Steering was slightly notchy. DIY steering stabilizer?
Remember what I said about sitting out on the last 1-2 hurricanes? This engine mount bolt definitely got the worst of it.
And like any Craigslist basket case, the swingarm bolt is frozen solid. So she sits with one more bolt to be undone before it can be officially “framed”
Bikes lookin good, good work
I wouldn’t be surprised to know if this is the original tire from 2005 🤷🏻♂️
Pit Row
Played with the buffing wheel tonight, got most everything to reassemble cases and bottom end, need to pull trigger on powder coating and big bore kit I think
Still going with an old school Splitfire graphics kit and some bling here and there. I used to drool over the trick pit bikes as a kid in their hay day 15 years ago.
I have the motor almost all the way together but it’s inside right now. I wound up with a 4th gear shift drum, HD output shaft and Tb parts 143 kit with the stock head and carb for now. Trying not to pour money into this thing since it’ll literally only be used to ride around in the pits at local races.
So far the motor will have
-New bearings in the transmission
-All new engine seals
-TB parts 143 kit
-Carb rebuilt with Two bros adjustable needle
-TB parts 4th gear shift drum
-Updated output shaft
Should be sweet!
Got my parts back from Cerakoting. Not a huge fan of it being all over a bike so I didn’t go overboard. Had them blast the black engine covers to a raw finish, and then had the brake torque arm, brake pedal, kickstand, shift lever and skid plate done in gloss black. Most of them looked rough and it was cheap enough to get them done. Also glad to reuse the OEM steel shifter instead of a replacement aluminum one, got a new OEM rubber piece for the tip and will probably order a shift shaft brace to match some bling on the rest of the motor.
Now that I have the engine covers back I can reassemble completely! Dropping wheels off for powder coat Monday, and then just have to order graphics, plastics, and tires and we will have all the pieces!
Nice build, looks like fun. I have a brand new tb air filter for the big bore that you can have if you are interested. Just pay postage
I’d gladly pay the shipping cost and then some! I appreciate the offer. I’ll PM you my number and you can shoot me a text whenever.
