I officially dub aaronstj "The guy with the highest post count without a bike" guy.  This confers all the authority and privileges such an esteemed position allows.  (NiceGuysFinishLast acutally has a higher post count, but he's been whoring too much)  

Congratulations, you're no longer a nood.  

My new ride:



And yes...  It's already in pieces.  :lol:

That looks nice... but where's the rest of it? Gonna keep those clip-ons? *nudgenudgenudge* I like the wheel accents, too.

The rest of it is in the shop.

Yeah.  Came complete, just don't have any photos of it complete.  The rest of it is stacked up in the back of the shop.

Why'd ya pull the carbs? Stuff wrong with it when you bought it? I had to pull my carbs last night to rejet back to stock. I absolutely hate doing it now. Dealing with the airbox is especially annoying.

It wasn't running when I bought it.  It's apart for a total fuel system overhaul.  I have goo in my gas.  Appears to be microbial in nature, although I've never encountered this kind of goo before.  Not to worry, I have a case of carb cleaner on hand and 5 gallons of alcohol to wash out the tank.  :mrgreen:

I planned to get into the carbs anyhow, it has a V&H system and a K&N filter, so I wanted to check the jetting.  Had the tank and carbs off in 5 mins.  Shouldn't take much longer than that to put it together again.  The stock airbox must be a PITA.  

Beats the crap out of working on a GM product.  Just like an airplane, everything in easy reach.  Clymer manual is reasonable too.

No, I'm pretty sure I'm still a nood.  But congratulations on the new bike.

Custom!!!  I wanna do that to mine!

Now...  Where do ya' put the gas?   :mrgreen:

I think you need to carry the fuel in a camelback...just don't try to drink out of it.

Yeah, the seat is a *little* uncomfortable.  Camelbak tank...  No doubt.   :lol:

Talk about Iron Butt!  

no no no, you have to stand the whole time.
Dang, that looks nice.


Btw, I rode mine around the block like that. Well it had some carbs.. I was too lazy to stick anything back on. It was worth it though, didn't work, and would have had to take it all back off.


The stock air box is nothing. Eazy as overcooked pie.

It's a GS500 trials bike.
