Kooks good did she take it for a spin yet? HB Danni

[Gag_Halfront]

No. Still needs a couple things before it's going for a ride. Like a chain. I bought one but it was too short. :-(

Here's the rag when I first bought it. It was all screwed up. Name a part and it needed work or replaced.

Here's what it looked like in the craigslist ads. No front fender and painted tank were first clue somesing wong.

Started tearing it down. Eww! Ever hear of this thing called a "hose"? And WTF is that sprocket from? A go kart? :crazy:

feeBay Tail Light. *sigh* Got this, tool box, some other misc parts all needing serious cleaning

RTV under the rocker cover??? :confused:

http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq101/Gag_Halfront/My%20Trikes/200x/CIMG0081.jpg

RTV instead of kicker gear cover gasket. Leaked, of course, filling the area with water. Kicker gears were rusting in there. Also, the gears were in backward so they couldn't start the bike. :rolleyes: Good thing, too, all things considered.

RTV instead of a clutch cover gasket. This is becoming a theme. I don't have pics, but the case halves were glued together with the crap, too.

AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!!!!! More RTV! WTF is wrong with these people?

http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq101/Gag_Halfront/My%20Trikes/200x/CIMG0088.jpg

Oil pump screws were attacked with some kind of weapon that in no way resembled a screwdriver.

Cam chain was chewing up the case

http://i438.photobucket.com/albums/qq101/Gag_Halfront/My%20Trikes/200x/CIMG0085.jpg

Piston covered with RTV and rust. Notice the, by now totally expected RTV slobbed all over the base gasket.

Some other interesting tidbits: Cam chain tensioner was not put together right so it would probably never have worked, exhaust valve was bent, oh, and just for good measure, they put it together without an oil screen. *sigh* Thank God they couldn't figure out how to put the kicker together right or they might have tried to run the poor thing. :rolleyes:

The muffler was a completely hollow shell, the kicker lever was lashed to the frame with zip ties because nobody ever bothered to take it apart and lube the little spring and ball so it wouldn't stay in place. There was no spring on the fender latch, so the latch was held in place with yet more zip ties. The rear shock was blown, the carb slide was seized in the carb so they just shoved on the thumb lever until it moved then assumed the cable was broke. Actually, they stripped out the lever. There was no rear caliper because they were out riding and the back brake started to seize and the rotor was glowing so they took the caliper off and left it in a field. When I got it, the banjo fitting was zip-tied to the frame wrapped in somebody's dirty sock. The problem was nobody ever bothered trying to actually lube the brake lever. The bellcrank thing was seized on the shaft on the frame. ... Some people...

Thanks, everyone. :D I love it!!! I'm so excited about riding it. It's even my favorite color.. :) I'm thinking about making the stickers that green-bow color.

[atctim]

Awesome gift Danni! Happy 21st! Tip a few (Drinks - not trikes - LOL)

[NinjaMidget]

Tipping trikes are more likely for me. :P

[Thorpe]

Very cool gift! Happy Brithday Danni! (gotta love the rtv! P/O of my BR used half a tube for a carb bowl gasket!! GRRR)

[Chazz of Blades]

Tis more fun that way anyway.

Sweet X, and happy birthday!

[ironchop]

I wonder if someone has a purple seat cover...that would tie it up nice...I like the color scheme and if my sister-in-law sees that, you`ll have to keep it locked down...she`s crazy for purple

Happy Birthday....keep the rubber side down
