tires, tubes and wheels. Cobra Madness!

putting the Pirelli's on the new 5 stars. 2.5 with a nice soft rubber. easy mounting



Tomo 16's stripped down and cleaned up




sprocketed, painted, repacked bearings, tires and tubes




almost done! mounting the rear wheel. finally! took me all day to do both sets. As these are tomos wheels trying to mount to Puch stuff.  Most of the time was spent trying to find the correct spacing in between the forks and swingarm.  They roll smoooooth smooth

Cobra! new toptank madness


On a side note, I fucked up my paint on the top side of the gas tank when the bike was flipped over like that. It also leaked tranny fluid everywhere. Test ride tomorrow! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

FourPetalGoodness

real four petal rips. good upgrade over the stock polini "four" petal which is actually a two petal. plus it came with screws already tapped, which makes changing to different reeds a breeze



better reed cage in the works.  v-force maybe?

all in the details

I know you've seen too many kits from the factory or from shipping or from whatever with casting defects, warped barrels, factory porting gone too far into the stud holes, misaligned iron bores, bent skirts, asymetrical transfer timing, other random terribles yada yada yada i guess quality control isnt what it used to be. some of the things i do to EVERY kit since my first kit is the ring gapping, chamfering, leveling flanges for airleaks, strong wiring and other secret piston mods. Cant stress these ones enough boys and girls. Little attentions to detail will either make or break your bike. Too important to overlook because if ya dont know do some research!  so kiddies prep your kits properly, and they will love you. ive been reading 2-stroke handbook recently cant ya tell?!

For all you cheap bastards  myself included. thanks Gordon Jennings!

stuff

Knucklehead B sealing up e-50. his metra80 is a monstrosity. recently broke two bones in his right hand. no more riding for at least a month. bummer


Box o' carbs. some good some not. some undersized, some overpriced

 
Oko's suck i guess. B never got one working properly. his oko's didn't like to keep the float bowl full. kept on running dry. hmmm curious...


Myrons Mopedssss. Haven't seen shaun in a while. Really organized his shop since last. I gawked a bit, talked moped theory.  Nineteen Fifty Something Montgomery Ward Riverside A3 transplant. sweet
 


well ive figured that
#1 I need a real camera
#2 I still want that Cobra from Eric
#3 gotta figure a way to come up with some extra scratch for said cobra
#4 my moms still wants to ride my Sachs. I dont really wanna tell her that mopeds stink and are all greasy and oily. Also that mopeds are kinda dangerous. My momma tells me that she had a Motobecane back in Vietnam before the war. so cool. i guess its a nostalgic childhood thing
#5 Permatex Grey Ultra Rigiiiidddddd!


thats it. haven't really figured much else

Flowers

it was nice out today. up with the early light just dazing around for a while.


 
Decided to be a little bit productive today. drilled out my main jet. The main jet with the new 4 petal polini seems like it was runnin a jet or two lean. Bought this jet drill set from Knucklehead Bryan for  5 bucks. good investment. Never have to buy a jet again. i would highly recommend

Have performance reeds comin in soon from treats. More to come soon
