Added a companion yamaha to sit next to the vmax. My son of twelve bought a 2004 ttr125 to replace the dr100 he has outgrown..... Had to tinker with the pilot screw to get it to idle.. But man that little motor got some balls. Previous owner had shined the bike up... Including the seat... Gave it some gas and i slid back on seat which caused me to give more throttle ... Dammed if it didn't wheelie on me lol..... I gotta get me a dirtbiike to mess around on.... Lol. 8hp my ass .... Roflmao

I have been using dynabeads for over a year on my ride. Besides a clean wheel having no lead weights, these things keep the tires balanced perfect as stated. I am very pleased with the dynabeads and highly recommend them. Very easy to install too.
At noon I began to re-install my engine. Now I have the mounts in-place and just need to torque them down. I used a big floor jack & a small 14" lift floor jack like you would use a horizontal screw jack to install an engine into a car where you have to insert it bell housing-down/timing cover-up. I removed the entire swingarm/rear wheel/shocks/rear brake assy. as a complete unit after I removed the right foot peg/rear brake master cyl. I also had to break out my torch because the horn mount bolts snapped-off when trying to disassemble things initially. A bit of heat, and straight-jaw vise grips, "Bob's yer uncle!" Didn't even need the PB Blaster.
The whole while I am working on this, everything from WW II prop planes to a B1-B and F15's are overflying my home on their way to the Ft. Lauderdale Air Show-how cool is that?
I was feeling so-confident about how the install is going, I stopped to post-up my progress and to drink an American beer, thank-you Sam Adams, "brewer & patriot!"
Hope the weather as we approach May is sufficient in the rest of the country to get in some riding. The way this is going, I should be able to ride soon, very soon! :clapping:
Update: engine in, driveshaft & swingarm in, rear wheel/brake on, going to do the VBoost & carbs/airbox. May call it a day after that & try the cooling system & exhaust tomorrow. Fill it w/fluids, start it, check for leaks. That should be it.
Update II: VBoost & carbs on, exhaust, cooling system & finish electrical connections, H2O & oil, then the "moment of truth..."

My headlight burnt out, so I ordered and finally installed a new HID bulb. It is the one on the LEFT HAND side and if you look closely, you can see a red ring around it.
It took an eternity to install, and after I was done, my wife informs me that we need two of them. So I just ordered a second one. Ugh. Anyway, here are pics:

Yes it is. Good eye!
But the first that shipped with the unit was DOA, and the second, well, it lasted only a year or so. Now neither of the headlights are the original from the kit.

yo cap, what footpegs are you running?
1) Today I cleaned my exhaust pipes. Man they were in bad shape after a couple months of neglect: Barkeeper's Friend
2) Replaced the neoprene water pipe couplers I used for my velocity stacks with silicone ones
3) Bolted on BikeMaster footpads

Didn't get to work on Redbone but I did work on the trailer. I painted the floor with anti slip paint. The trailer is a 6'x12' "V" nose so the interior measures 13'-9" so it will give me room to stagger two bikes and add some shelving/ drawers in the "V".
I picked up some aluminum track 24"(4) , track fittings (4) for tie down points along both side walls. Also ordered these anchor points to place in the center for the inside tiedown points. I also picked up this chock to mount when I receive it. I will strap it down with these 2" ratchet straps and handlebar straps. I will install the hardware sometime in the next couple days.
Now for the required pictures:
