@billv Thanks for posting my friend, I will likely add that tool to my arsenal now that I know it exists!
@Winchester Boy Congratulations on your recent Mod status. I will remove and replace frame, The frame will be used to get my aluminum welding skills up to par.
@F1ngers Thanks bro and thanks fellas for dropping by the thread.
The fiasco at the locksmith started with a phone call, I politely asked how much to make a key for a removed moto ignition. Upon arrival, the employee raised the price 40 dollars, took the ignition out of my hand and said "we will call you in a few hours". I said " Im not paying the 125 after I was quoted 85 on the phone." The employee went on to insinuate I never made the call and proceeded to call the owner to verify while speaking in hebrew thinking I would not understand a few words. After the owner verified my story, the employee was giving some attitude which i fired back at him immidiately.
Long story short a staredown ensued that ended in me snatching the part back from his hand and asking him to step outside.
So i just hotwired it in 5 minutes/0 dollar cash fix
Initial investment still hovering at 275....................running engine/broken frame and subframe/wasted front end
But I know a guy.
\Anyway, enough blabber.
The Bike Gods have decided to allow this bike to run again.
the 1 header is leaking and that is the ticking sound, otherwise I think we are all systems go for the work ahead. (also some smoke burning off from the lubricants added to bores and head)
