Full GARAGE

After the sprag clutch went on the Triumph, the goal was to get the DUB up and running.  Now normally that doesn't take much effort as the Kawi is pretty much bullet proof. Usually it is simply a matter of throwing the battery back in and kicking her over.  Change the oil, check the tire pressure and chain adjustment and your ready to role.  However, the battery gave up the ghost over the winter and the front tire is totally bald.  So getting her road worthy was going to take some parts.  Turned to eBay as usual to source the tire and the battery. No issues there... But having got so used to the comfy riding position of the sprint, the DUBs clip-ons now felt like absolute torture.  So back to eBay to source 7/8'' superbike styled handlebars. Got the new handlebars and grips mounted the other day, BUT broke a mounting screw mounting the throttle.  So now we've got four bikes all sitting in various stages of disrepair.  Not a bad problem to have during a wet BC winter. But its not winter, its the middle of May and 20 degrees Celsius and sunny.

The Sprints been an excellent daily ride for the past few months up till the sprag clutch failed last week! Now we got pull the engine and split the crankcase to sort the issue. Looks like I will have to get the Dub running if I want to do any more riding in the meantime. Sucks but it's a good excuse to get some much needed wrenching in!

Dub almost ready for another riding season

Well we didn't get as much work done to the dub project as I would have liked. But I was happy to get some long need garage time to get her back together enough to kick start her for the first time in 2014! Air box is back off and the k&ns are back on.  Still need to sort out the jetting, but she came to life without too much fuse. Need new plugs, front brake line, licence plate bracket, and front tire. Till then looks like I will only be roaring up and down my block! Stay tuned for some pics and new mods soon!
