This thread need to get back to motorcycles.

Because it's spring and they are way more fun

[GunMetalGrey]

I didn't know that actually, not too familiar with that.

So, where does the other line on the overflow go to? Back into the system I assume?

[Earl]

Nope. Vents to the ground

[HipMF]

I really do need to get my Guzzi back on the road...

Time... Money... Projects...

[HipMF]

Some sounds just get into your blood. The idle of an old Guzzi is one of them.

[REKIII]

Still not taking the R1 out until it rains good.

Anyone know how to weld titanium?  I need to merge my full titanium graves system with the new LINK cans and Y pipe I got.  Much cooler.

One of my current projects. Full restoration of a 1960's Honda S90. Have everything for it, just taking my time to do it right.

What do y'all think of my retro inspired black spoiler?

[REKIII]

That must have been a ton of masking to just dip the wheels and spoiler.  Did you use the factory tow hook in the front to do it?

[ClassE]

Solid "Meh" on the black from me.

I don't like black wheels ever tho - so I'm biased.

those Fuchs TJ has would work really well with that look too.

Masking wasn't bad really, I didn't mask anything in wheels other than the calipers, I just peeled it off the tires. Tow hook? For what?

The wheels are temporary, I'll be getting 18" mesh wheels in the future, but they're also black so you won't like them either

Thanks Bro-Chief, if those Fuchs were 18s I would have bought them instantly!

Fuchs are gone.

In other news, I bought my first Porsche. An 84 911 targa with 41k miles. Needs some work but I am excited!

The common practice for dipping car parts or cars is to dip them in a vat appropriately sized for the item.  Since you did the wheels and the rear....thing....I assumed you had a car sized vat, masked off what you didn't want dipped and lifted the car into the vat with a crane hooked to the front tow point.

[Ryan...]

My bad, should have been more specific, I plasti-dipped them like a poor person.

[Ryan...]

TJ, we need more pics of that beast.

[wasnt m3]

So....anyone looking for a real nice z3 m roadster?

[Ryan...]

Where'd you find that? I was looking all over for an air cooled project car!

[wasnt m3]

Wasn't for sale. It was sitting in a driveway in Waukesha covered for quite some time. Decided to go knock on the door to see if he'd sell it. Apparently he bought it this way 9 years ago and had all the parts to fix it but never got around to it.
