Thread: '75 honda bobber project

Ya but this way it will be a wonderful surprise. The anxiety of it all will make you enjoy it more... or absolutely hate the guy for chopping it up if it turns out bad.

But I'm hopeful for awesomeness.

i don't know what to expect, hah.

i need to paint stuffs..

Just re read the entire thread, I really want to see the finished product from the frame guy. Hope you get it back soon.

soon means prior to next week (sunday = next week). i will just show up at dudes house if i need to.

Yeah, it's time to put a little pressure on the guy, plus we need updates too

yup. i'm gonna call him tomorrow and get this lined up. i need my bike back.

so you think...

its gonna be so steampunk.

since i know you all care so much...

called this guy multiple times, left a voicemail, and numerous texts since last thursday. emailed him last night as a last ditch effort to get his attention. as it turns out he lost his phone the day after he talked to me last week so he hasn't had any way of getting ahold of me because he didn't have any old email history or my phone number anymore...

he sent me a book over text, said he'll call me later to talk some more. he wants to redo the axle plates on the hard tail because he doesn't like the way they were done initially. otherwise it sounds like everything else is good to go and we just have to find some time to meet up. i should have it back and in my garage in under a week.

Keep your foot up his arse. Hope you get it back soon.

sure..........................

Works of art and quality jobs take time. Sounds like this should be a awesome build once you get it rolling.

due to the fact that i still don't have my frame back i picked up the carbs and tore them down.

the slides and needles look awesome so i'm leaving them alone. the jets are surprisingly clean, but ill clean those to make sure they're proper. the only issue i found is that on the choke slides there are small brass butterflies and one of the cylinders is midding that butterfly. so the choke won't work the best and one cylinder will run leaner when i'm using the choke...oh well.

and the velocity stacks look badass when mounted.

also wanted to bump this so it's easier to find...

Did you ever get an ETA for the frame?

i talked on the phone with him last friday. he said 'within a few days or so', but we all know how that is working so far.

i'll probably give him a call on lunch today to try and set something up...

*le sigh*....

i did have some thoughts of taking some of the work back to him, but at this point i've already found other places to take it all. i just need the frame back so i can have the parts back i need to get everything moving...
