don't have a great pic here but was just wondering if this means anything.
i just picked the bike up off craigs list and am having a bike buddy go threw it all cause i have no idea who's fingers have been in it before me. the kicker is way wrong for the bike, it's lowered and raked as well.

bringing it to the bike guy


better pic of the bike lift my uncle has for his business that my cousin used to move the bike for me.

 

Welcome to the forum.

Looks like a great place to start - good luck with the project.

Keep us updated.

 

hey thanks man!

after messing with the bike some i see that it's really low and extra easy to drag the front pipe on the ground when moving it or even leaning too far. does anyone know who makes a set of pipes like these? but for a 74 like mine

 

it looks like you front pipe is just slanting down to avoid your forwards. You could just dimple the pipe for clearance of the forwards and bring it back up to the frame a bit or weld tabs to the front down tubes of the frame and mount the forwards ahead of the pipe and bring the pipe closer to the motor.

 

i do realize that i can make work what i have but i like the other look better. anyone know where i can get them for a pre evo sporty?

 

 

ever see one of these??

 

a nice set of andrews "Y" cams -- single fire ignition -- a carb thats not as lean as that one -- S&S makes a wider air cleaner that gives 30% more air flow -- all those fancy air cleaners can ruin a good engine --

 

1979, obviously.

I thought that Roadster tank was not used until 1980? Parhaps it was an option in '79. The dual seats and short backrest are also Roadster parts. The forks do not look 2 over in the pic; i wonder if they are as stock Roadster forks were 2" over.

So is it an XLS? or has it been dressed up? and what about those cylinders, heads and rocker covers? Tell us about them.

 

dressed up?? lol lol lol lol --- where did i say "2 over" ????? your slippen iron-- buzz over to the "shovelhead section" of these fourms -- more explained there--- how about an answer to the 38mm mikuni jets -- i already know but wanted to see if i could get a response from a devoted sporty god....
