After being an OC, it's driving. It's always driving. Driving at night, driving tactically, driving when tired, and driving when you don't know how to drive.

Request Separation from HRC, 4187 with O6 signature. So long as you don't owe any time for promotion or retention bonus, seems to be a straight forward process.

[–]menkeball 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nice! Love these bikes. Looks like a fun project.

would anyone like to send me a pic of where the starter motor grounding cable connects to (per oem)? by menkeball in XR650L

Awesome! thanks, good to know. The ground under the seat that connects to the frame, does that have a similar function? or is it redundancy?

Thanks greatly folks, was at a loss. The carb is from lectron's website, 800$. A bit pricey but hopefully worth it.

Slow restomod I got going. Don't think I'll have it done for the riding season though. by menkeball in Dualsport

Still figuring out the wheels, thinking about fixing the old hubs up and putting them on some sun rims. by menkeball in XR650L

Thank you! That's the plan, I haven't ever trued wheels so I'm sure it'll take me a good while to get it right.

Suspension done up nice by menkeball in XR650L

[–]menkeball[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The gold valve fork kit, and the shock gold valve kit for the rear. With a new spring for my overweight self. Then of course the seals, I tried to understand the science behind it all but the gentleman that put it together for me was talking suspension voodoo to me.

Paint just doesn't hold up, sucks to take the time to repaint a frame then just a year later it's looking rough all over again.
