Thanks fellas. I'm having some issues with my Photobucket account lately, but i'll try to upload some pics to it today or tomorrow and get them posted here. The rock crawler is coming along, it's a 1980 pickup that is still full stock bodied (very little rust), but with fiberglass Baja front...

Hey guys, yesterday a guy at work gave me an old Margay frame that he used to use for road racing with a 125cc 2 stroke engine, but he kept his engine, so I have this rolling chassis with lots of extra wheels, an axle, hydraulic rear brake, all of the steering stuff, and a tiny seat for a kid...

your nissan was made very close to me in smyrna, tennessee. it's still a japanese company, but owned and operated by ford, and all upper management there is american and canadian, and a large percentage of the lower workers are hispanic immigrants with work visas.:oops:

if the flywheel isn't cracked, you could break off some fins on the exact opposite side and try to balance it that way....you might be able to mount the flywheel on a tire balancing machine and find out exactly which ones to break off, or you could put epoxy like jb weld on it where the machine...

i drained the tank and put fresh gas with 1/4 bottle of sea-foam in, and she straightened up as far as on the road. runs a lot smoother. as for starting, i haven't tried that again after running it, but i will in the morning. i'll prolly run the whole bottle through over a few tanks....

yeah, i just did actually. it's not too bad, i just gotta call the dmv and find out who the last registered owner was, send them a registered letter, and if they have no objection to me title-ing this bike in my name, i'm free to proceed as usual. not too sure what to do if they do object. also...

^^^^^^ smart advice! i never thought to do that! prolly should have, it makes perfect sense...

well, the reason i thought of putting the motor on a go kart was because i don't have a title for the bike. it's not gonna be easy to get one, but i still have a couple months before bike weather really hits anyway, so i figger if i get started on that pretty soon, i'll be able to enjoy the bike...

got my key made yesterday! the bike actually fired right up on the first try, and i rode it for an hour with no problems! i think i'm gonna just take off the messed up plastic, and start working toward a street fighter type of look, and just enjoy it as a motorcycle.... schweeeeet.:D

yeah, i'm thinkin junkyard or ebay. i don't wanna spend more than $100.

ha i've ridden this one last year, and you're on the money on that one. it's a motorcycle, but it's prolly the slowest one i've ever ridden, save for a couple 50cc pitbikes... i didn't know there were such things as lower fairings till you mentioned it, and now that i look at other ninja's...

ok so i was wrong. the mufflers are semi-gloss. here are a couple pictures. you are referring to the petcock that turns the fuel flow from on-off-reserve? how do i check it? it turns fine, and doesn't leak.... i think i did ok for a free bike. i do think it's kinda cool looking, and not in as...

neato.... are you referring to the petcock for the oil, or the coolant? the antifreeze is full, clean and super green. tires look new, with the little nipples on them still. exhaust? how do i check exhaust? it's stock, and not very rusty... looks to be spraypainted flat black perhaps, but it...

ok, so dmv says the bike isn't stolen! woot! so i go to the kawi dealer, and they don't make keys, but they ordered me a blank, and i have a locksmith friend that can cut it for me on friday. i'm not in that much of a hurry, with the snow and ice, i can't do too much with a motorcycle anyway...

ha, cool. i'll call the dmv tomorrow. i'm not sure how similar this is to a harley, but it's worth a shot if nothing else comes along....
