Crouching Tiger, Bent Over Cocktail Waitress
I really should post more often.
That said, I’ve got the black ruckus running and jetted. Then I decided that the carb placement was a giant pain in the ass. (It was, there was a long extended tube to get it moved in front of the front frame) The thing made a nice CLANK every time I sat down, so I decided to take it back apart and make some changes.
I’m currently stripping the paint from the rear frame and smoothing out some of my chunky grinding. From there, I’ll cut my Mojo mount back off and re-weld it a little further back on the frame so the carb will mount correctly. Sick of trying to find ways to get it to work when I should have done it right the first time.
Thinking about repainting the rear frame, seat frame and battery box a different color. Rattle can? Professional job? Maybe some candy flake? I’ll likely be easier to do it myself, so we’ll see what kind of colors I can pick up from Carquest at some point.
Finally ordered a muffler from a guy on TR. I need to pick up a hanger for it, but it’s a Yoshimura RS-3 that I’m going to cut down and polish. I may ever resleeve it, if I’m feeling particularly nutty.
Progress.
