More CB900 fun

Tore it down to the block and most things are looking good enough
3 out of 4 jugs still have the original honing. Did i mention that this motor has 38k, un-babied miles on it?
And then onto jug numero uno... booo.
This explains the loss of compression on the #2 cylinder.
The gooey jug.

This day brought to you by...

neat stuff...

CB900 fun

i wish i had gone with dylan and kenny, looks like they had more fun.
and on to the fun part...

The day started innocently enough.

With coffees in hand and the ramp optimistically strapped to the bed, we headed out in search of Gentle Ken's new ride. To make a short story shorter, Kenny railed a 72 year old lady and now she wants him to spend 3k of her social security money to buy a sick new pussymagnet...or something like that.
After 2 strike outs we finally had a winner. The fork-fannypack containing a maxi pad and a breath mint only reassured us that "this was the one." Also deserving mention is the "Lady Rider" bell that protects Kenny from road demons, Rod Stewart lookalikes, and lonely truck drivers.
The "Lady Rider" himself inspects his trophy and crushes the ceremonial butt. All in all a decent Sunday.

What a gem!

This abortion of a mini-trike is wrong on so many levels, yet oh so right!

this cat is so much cooler than me...

it is abundantly clear that these infernal contraptions were the result of space aliens influencing the minds of red blooded americans. why else would we waste our time in the creation of such a dastardly thingamabob.

I'm long overdue for new handlebars.


I'm so sick of running clamps!

Much better. But what to use for bars..?
FAIL!

Not quite..

Ah yes, a timeless classic.

Hm I think I can work with this.
Narowed, inverted drag bars on 8" risers. That's just gay enough to work! Tig time..

CB900F, a new whip enters the garage...

The deal: through some fortunate circumstances, a CB900F has fallen into my possession; total cost: $0. The issue is that it has a blown jug but still miraculously does 90mph on the highway. This is cool 'cause I have never had one of these motors apart so I get to learn all about them AND I get to finally repay a debt from way back.
See, a long time ago, my good friend CJ gave me his cherished Chevette to keep safe while he went off to Basic. Things didn't work out quite right and I ended up with a Grand Theft warrant and the car was lost. Now I have a bike to give him for the cost of parts and if he is allowed to "help" he considers us to be even. The only bummer is that he doesn't know which end of a wrench to use, but is well versed in the use of hammers, bugling and apparently sodomy. If I can keep from laughing my ass off then I might finish this silly thing this month.

Working with CJ can be a bit challenging.
Its not like I need any distractions to fuck up a DOHC motor.
