Trying to talk my wife into letting me buy this

http://chicago.craigslist.org/nwi/mcy/2272114125.html

she said maybe but im sure it would be gone by the time i put the cash together

Maybe the guy on the bike comes with it too...wow

This would mean more if your name was red...just sayin'

Good point. My end of the month would help us in the competition.

I am wondering if the bike is small or that guy just big

i figured a 750 is a pretty good size for a guy my size, do they shorten anything when the Bob a bike?

They sometimes draw the forks up in the tree's to do it cheaply. More complex stuff involves reworking the frame. Thats for the front end, in the rear shorter shocks may be fitted and the tail section reworked. I am 6' ~195 and my 750 Yamaha fits under me nicely, and that's a stock bike.

On that bike the seat seems to be aftermarket and lower to the ground and it may be lowered in the back with shorter shocks too by the looks of it. The tailsection may have been hacked too. The taller, shorter tank is also deceiving.

I think he's just a bigger guy in that picture.

This is my friends '78 KZ750. Stock tank on there. Tailsection has been redone though the geometry itself is not that different. 10.5" shocks (~1.5" shorter than stock), the forks have been slid up 1.5". Non-stock seat, stockers are usually a lot taller. Obviously there are no carb's on it but the bike has since been finished and sits pretty much as you see it here. He's about 5'9" and the way he has it fits him real well.

Completed.

Thats a pretty sweet bike

i am really looking for something to just ride and teach my self, i came across that listing and liked the price for something i would like to build eventually. i will more than likely buy something and Bob it my self, that may not be this year or even next just one of the many things i want but dont need

I talked to Ken Brubaker yesterday, he said the "hacked up XJ" series will be coming out soon, so keep an eye out for it this summer or fall.

Too bad mine looks a lot different from when he took the pics......

I have a line on a 79 Dana 70 out of a E350. Guy wants $150 for it, I can probably talk him down a little bit. But even for that price it's not too bad of a deal

 

[FlexdXJ]

Sounds like an alright deal to me.

Taking the kids (ages 8, 6 and 2) to Indy this weekend to the children's museum. Any ideas for other kid-friendly attractions (except the zoo)?

The Children's Museum can take you a whole weekend to visit if you want to see and do it all.

Don't know if you're all into football or not, but Lucas Oil Stadium runs free tours during the day. I think the tour is something like 3 hours...maybe less? My old supervisor went through last fall. He said it's pretty neat. They take you into the visitor's locker room, down onto the field... I would like to do that someday.

Says the guy with no kids

Hey kid you want some candy?

 

[terrehautian]

Says the guy with no kids

Hey, I have no kids but go to the Museum here in Terre Haute every Tuesday.....to volunteer. Getting a little bored of it, might switch to some other place or just quit all together.

 

[terrehautian]

I just remembered why I don't like changing bulbs here at work. 20 feet tall ceilings and a person scared of heights climbing a ladder to change it.

 

[XJosh95]

Man, there's really not a whole lot to keep me occupied on the internet anymore. Only when is busy do I not get bored.
