Winter bike projects....

Who is planning one?

What do you have planned? Mods to your favorite ride? Building a track bike? What do you all have going on this winter for bike projects?

My bike is finally exactly how I want it! I am not touching a thing!

Plus...we don't have room for any more bikes (or cars for that matter!) If we did I would be scared to see how many bikes we would have hanging around!

m yplan is to finish the TL project I started 2 years ago then ran ou tof money.

I took the bike completley apart and will powdercoat the frame, subframe, swingarm and rims. Have the bodywork painted, replace the clutch and a few seals that didnt want to work anymore, then install a clear clutch cover and a new pressure plate. Then maybe add a CF exhaust.

I am picking up a ton of shifts at my side job so this month I can swing the cash to do the powdercoating and then I can start reassemble while I save up for paint and other goodies

What is winter???

Leon has a streetfighter F2 frankenbike he is working on, with an F4i swingarm, gsxr 1k forks, etc. Its going to be so sick when he is done;

Hey Tommy, if you need any advice about the TL, ask Leon or Gix. Leon pretty much totally rebuilt his old TLR, and Gix is, well Gix

I have to be different and have the S, between those guys and the peeps at TL planet we will have everything covered if need be. I just need to remember how to put it back together

Well after last winters Phoenix project I don't want to do any bike projects. Unless it involves somebody else's bike. Otherwise, for me its all house projects.

Maybe some clutch work to make the lever pull a bit easier...but most likely nothing.

The duc is getting a new tail and a valve adjustment.

Making a new bash plate for the KTM, since the old one got, well, bashed. Also some new GPS/Rollchart mounts and a luggage rack for next years TAT attempt.

The Triumph is coming out of boxes finally. Still haven't decided if I want to totally bastardize it and put the 916 swingarm on it, or restore it to original (it's a '69).

It's going to be a long winter.
