I keep telling you they ain't my goats. They are the wifes. If they were mine they would be tacos.

Dude, that one made me laugh. That's something my dad would have said.

Besides, Tacos de carbon al carbon sound frigging delicious!!

2013-05-05 Prepping the Rolling Chassis for Ray

Permalink Submitted by dcarver on Sun, 05/05/2013 - 19:53.

Ray is headed down South later this week - for Gathering of the Clan's and will pick up the rolling chassis and other parts while on the on the run. So today I got all the parts together today in prepartion.

Some old parts.



Worthless? Not unless you need that hardened bolt on the left side..



Fried stator waiting for rebuild..

New ignition pickup coils, one new CV diaphram, used clutch plates.



Valve cover cam end caps. New since 1981..



Used brake pads - but serviceable.

Radiator.



Pipes. Way too many pipes.

Rear master cylinder kit - hard to find.



Oil filters, fork seals.



Radiator shrouds to direct heat away from gas tank/rider.



New disc brake pads.

The assembled stack ready for Ray. Hope he has a V8 in the truck..

And I'm expected to make sense out of that pile of shit.

 

[dcarver]

Hey Ray, I've already done all the *hard* work! :rofl:

Permalink Submitted by dcarver on Tue, 05/21/2013 - 19:41.

After the Gathering of the Clans, we returned to get KrZy13 and all her chassis rolling parts loaded up so Mr. Ray can provide some loving touches..

Powdercoat frame, chrome, swing arm / steering head bearings / brakes... and the list grows.

Loading KrZy1300 up in the truck for the ride to LaPine!

...and a Kawasaki shall lead the HondaPotaMus home!



Ray and Patti's travelling road show!

Almost ready to hit the road..

Parade wave, Patti!





...and they are off! Happy fixing KrZy13!

The shit I get involved in makes me wonder about my sanity.

 

[escapefjrtist]

...too late Ray, looks like the sanity test is in the truck bed!

Fun project, can't wait to see it completed.

Don't hold your breath. Finding parts is a world wide scavenger hunt.

Makes me smile ever time this pops back up. For some reason, two mad scientists comes too mind.

Hope that this means you will come looking for parts in Australia. Can hardly wait to have a beer with you!

Best regards

[dcarver]

To best of memory.. parts from Germany, England, Japan?

 

[Bugnatr]

Now that winter is back in La Pine Ray should be making lots of progress.

 

[Bustanut joker]

Soon as he get's done moving snow...

Sorry.......that name's already spoken for.

 

[dcarver]

Good on yah Howie!

Fully respect frankenbike belongs to you - or you..

ohh, wait, now I'm KornFused....

Guess I'll default the the Gold standard..

:****:

Hugs n' Kisses Howie!

 

[dcarver]

Well, some time has passed and not too much to report.

Did see this posting on ebay at $6,500 reserve not met..

and looking at the ride, it's not worth the $6500 offered.

Soon enough, winter will be here and Ray will be back on it!

 

[RadioHowie]

Like many others posting to this thread, I'm anxiously awaiting final results.

All I have to add is this:

I'm sure thankful Ray finally got that anorexia monkey off his back. :rofl:

 

[FJRay]

The cylinders and head should be here next week. It was a real bitch finding a machine shop that could do a proper job on the cylinders because the casting is to long for most machines in the M/C world and to small for automotive. My guru found a guy with a trick CNC machine to do the job.

It's also been a busy season here in the ozarks of Oregon and I have a wing to pay for cause I chickened out on selling my 55 Ford truck to pay for it.

What's this anorexia shit Howie ??? Crawl back into your swamp down there. I would post the finger for you but most the time the smilely things don't work on my puter.

 

[dcarver]

Here Ray, I'll do the heavy lifting.

Hey Howie! :****:
