The Bug and the fat man.

I used to call it Frankenstein as it was build from other dead Bugs but
after the paint job I'm thinking maybe a new name is in order. A cute
redhead I know called it the Commando Bug but I'm holding out on the
name for awhile.

You should put Marines just over the doors and build a fake M-60 to put on
top, just to freak everyone out and call it Rat Pack.

The antique airplane guys have fake Lewis guns that run on propane. I
think it would be funny but I don't think I could convince the Oregon
state police that its humorous.

BTW, I loved the pic you sent me of your custom rear break light. I
bought 70 super bright LEDs that I was going to use on one of my bikes
but I'm thinking about drilling holes in the engine cowl and putting a
row of tail lights on either side and another row in the center for a
brake light.

Thanx but no relation to Shaggy. I live on the opposite side of the
country (Oregon.)

Also I'm due for my annual shearing. Every summer I get a crew cut and
prune my beard back to 3/8" long.

Nice Bikes - I love the Retro Look !!

I had a Z400 and a KZ750 Twin - I own a Zephyr 1100 at the moment.

Isn't that Larry off of discovery channel !!

Nice Baha BTW

You need to refresh the page, I took the Indian Larry memorial down last
August. I figured a year was long enough...

I'm not so crazy about the look of new bikes. Everything is either a
race bike or a chopper. What ever happened to regular motorcycles? And
when one shows up, it's retro. I must be too old, I just don't get it.

The Baja looks good but it's giving me fits right now. At first there
wasn't enough oil pressure (20 on the road and 4 or 4 psi at idle) now
it's blowing oil filter seals. The spring in the front relief valve was
spongy as hell and the only replacement I could find was so stiff, I had
a tough time getting the cap back in. I pegged and damaged the 100psi
oil pressure gage when the engine was barely ticking over and then
popped the seal on the oil filter at the slightest throttle blip. I had
the filter tight too... Anyway I'm going to replace the damaged oil
pressure gage tomorrow and if I can't find new stock springs, I'm going
to try cutting down the after-market ones.

Tony, i have several stock engines in various stages of "torn all to ****"
in my basement...if you need stock springs and plungers, you can shoot me an
email (bugninva AT aol DOT com) and i will send you a set....what size is
your oil pump? anything larger than a stock pump can cause excessive
pressure.

I'm going to try and track down a set here in Portland tomorrow. If I
can't, I'll shoot you and eMail. After all this, I'm antsy to get it on
the road.

Prior to the rebuild I had a Melling pump in it with the stock springs
and that's probably why the stock springs are trashed. Now with a stock
pump and springs I only get 4 or 5 PSI at an idle at full operating
temp. Using the after-market springs are like locking the relief valves
closed.
