you know what happens when you polish a turd.
















you get a turd with polish on it.
i'm sorry but it's still a 500.

If you don't mind me asking..how much did that all cost?  :o

Wouldn't it have been more economical to have just bought bike with higher displacement?

Post by: mastrind on December 09, 2005, 02:49:06 PM
yes.....but I bet that a polished turd would:

1. quickly be Yahoo!'s  "most emailed photo"

2. fetch a good bit on ebay

3. be the punchline of every joke on late night TV

4. be davi's life achievement

Bravo!

I'm impressed with the work you did.  Don't let turd sayers bother you.  If you enjoyed doing it then that's all that really matters.  Would you have bought a $10, 000 pound bike and had the same enjoyment?  No, cause you'd be afraid to even touch it for fear of voiding the warranty.

I like the mirrors too.   :thumb:

Congrats!

[edit]

can you re-size the first couple of pictures cause they are huge!  Also, did you get it to run well?  You did a lot of mods all at once so I'm just wondering how you got it to run well. ie what's your carb set-up and did you have to modify the ignition advance etc. Thanks.
