Part 2

What happened to the hand controls?Looks great,does Wheelman still own it ?Great work, nicely done.

Actually this machine has changed hands twice since Wheelman owned it back in '01. I am the current owner. The hand controlls have long since been removed - holes in the thumb throttle and brake levers are the only evidence of the conversion. Since I picked it up this past November it has been:

1. Painted frame (Rustoleum Sunrise Red)
2. New Rear Disc (EBC) and pads (repaired parking brake to working order)
3. New final shaft and trans seals
4. Replaced both axle inboard stubs (had to replace one boot and 3 bands in the process)
5. Replace right rear knuckle
6. New rear wheel bearings, seals, ball joints, A arm bushings
7. New Keihin 39mm PWK carb
8. Dual intake airbox mod
9. New rear aluminum rims and tires (Thanks PMan!)
10. Disassemble starter, clean, inspect
11. Disassemble driven clutch, clean inspect
12. Disassemble steering column, clean inspect
13. Lube all cables
14. etc., etc., etc....

Next on the "to get" list:
1. Uni Filter
2. Dual Pre Filter set up
3. Power Bloc Clutch
4. Pipe
5. Works Shocks (rear)
6. Engine skid

I'll post some "before" pics shortly

You need a pipe and clutch for that thing man!








hehe

I KNOW I KNOW!!!!! If I only knew of someone selling pipes and clutches... hmmmmm

Rims? Rims I can get and Fast! Real HAPPY dealing with OMF. WORKS...slower than I like, not real responsive on calls/emails.....PowerPros - don't know how they stay in business, I'm doubting they even shipped me those pipes yet....Power Bloc...everyone I think knows how I feel about them :)

I'm working on it Mark...gonna make some calls right now.

Update you ASAP

We appreciate all your efforts! Keep us posted....

Yeah no kidding thanks for the effort we all know what a bitch it can be trying to order and get stuff hehe.

Here you go Bob!

Thanks Hoser and everyone else that provided to this Pilot!

Its a great machine. I'm honored to be the current owner of it.

Maybe you can provide update pics here of the changes fixes and enhancements ?

Suppose I need to wash it then. :)

I'll take some more shots of it. I posted a few when I first got it. But they were mostly from far away.

I was still able to find the list of people that donated to that pilot, and it made me feel good just the same
