here is a quick shot of my new grip covers.

Chruk, where did you get the grip covers from Bashre?? I have got to have one!

Or what is the size so I can do a search for one. I think this will help with the vibration problems I have had with my handlebar withought having to buy a new grip.

J&P Cycles-replacement foam covers pair- PART#-5000115.
they fit right over the original grips perfectly.

Can you walk us through the handmade parts & modifications?

the view angle is obvious, there is a hole in the frame for use. underneath i
drilled a hole in the cross bracket for that support point. started out with a
piece of 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" angle stock. just make break and bend it to work
with whatever chain tensioner you buy. they are each a bit different.
i posted somewhere ago where and what my tensioner is exactly.

Thanks Bro! Ordered one tonight ($13 and a good investment). I have been looking for something like that for a while. Hope it helps with the vibration thing in my hand. Even on short trips my right hand tends to lose feeling but it may be because Im a noob rider.

Well here are some pics of that finally. like i say, if you have a bench
with a vice and a nice bench grinder, you can make a real nice looking one.
i made this on the floor with a hammer, tin snips, and a big hunk of wood
that i hold things onto with screws so i can drill a hole. caveman's caveman.
so that is why it looks crappy. cause it is. but it works just as fine as it is ugly.
i will make a real nice one for myself when the funds allow a bench, grinder,
vice, drop light, compressor, and??..still moving in after 3 years, shop is next.

now the pictures
the view angle is obvious, there is a hole in the frame for use. underneath i
drilled a hole in the cross bracket for that support point. started out with a
piece of 1 1/2" x 1 1/2" angle stock. just make break and bend it to work

I think you've done a great job with what you have. I do the same thing. If it's all painted it would look better and camouflage right into the frame.

good idea. i am going to hit it with some primer. it is ready to go back on right now. the tire is back on. 38t Does Not Require Chain Link Removal. welmp, out to the shop to tape up that chain tensioner for some paint. thanks crelow, im likin it, im likin it alot.

hello gentlemen i found out that my 3 out of 4 bolts were broken in half on my sprocket thats why it was wobbling. ordered the part should be fixed soon!
my other question is where can i get a NEW throttle cable ???
i also cleaned my carb wow what a difference it made !!!
can someone tell how to adjust the jet/pilot valves right now my rpm are thru the roof (very high) and its hard to get it undercontrol ? i think something is wrong with my throttle and choke any recomendations i have #105MM needle ? wit 35t sprocket

I had the same issue with the wide open throttle. If you look up under your gas tank on the right side where the cable runs you will see a spot in the cable where it looks like it has a larger diameter (next to the frame hook that holds all of the wiring). This is some sort of spring damper for the cable. When I last removed my carb this happened and I pushed it back into the housing and it went away. I have yet to remove my tank again and inspect as I am nervous about a leak.
