[@OzcarMike641]

Nice job man

[@mewserino]

Great work, nice bike!

[@michaels.333]

Thanks

[@julianojanuario6383]

Great job, make sure those carbs are synced. Sounds slightly off

[@michaels.333]

Yeah I've been fighting with it. I think its down to my vacuum sync tool isn't reading correctly.

Good morning .... please this pinhao that you are using, which bike belongs, I have a problem here with my cb 750, because the chain picks up the tire, could help me in this matter .... hug parabens for the bike !

[@michaels.333]

I will try and help, but I don't understand what your problem is.

[@williamfernandes6489]

have a rear tire 5 inches with 140x17 tire ... I would like a 160 tire, but it picks up current, I would have to replace a sprocket on the engine .... there is the solution in this case ... thanks for the help!@@michaels.333

[@ayeitsjayoo]

What size is the wheels in the rear

[@michaels.333]

rim is 4.25"x17" and tire is a 150 wide

[@tihamerforika8982]

is the 2004 gxsr fork a bolt on swap?

[@michaels.333]

on a 550 it is, besides welding the fork stops on the neck of the frame (but you can probably find a way to just bolt new ones on).

[@universalpenman]

what brand is the exhaust?

[@michaels.333]

its a carpys that I modified

[@joseserrano4596]

Hi Michael. Roughly, what was the cost for the work Mike did for you?

[@michaels.333]

I believe it was about 1200, but my head was in pretty bad shape before I sent it to him and needed new valves, valve guides, and valve seats.

[@charliemetcalfe6222]

What’ve you done to get those rearsets on? Did you buy the bracket and weld it to the frame where the passenger pegs were?

[@michaels.333]

I just bought the cheapest set of used rearsets I could find and then made a bracket out of 1/4" steel and welded it to the frame.

[@charliemetcalfe6222]

Michael Seyller. Did you buy those ‘

[@michaels.333]

yes, I think one of the rearsets is of a cbr 929. I just found it on ebay with the linkage and bracket for $15, and then welded on the tab that attaches it to the frame.

[@charliemetcalfe6222]

Michael Seyller I’m struggling to find that bracket 😬

[@michaels.333]

heres one that is similar to mine that is off a r6 www.ebay.com/itm/W-03-05-YAMAHA-R6-R6S-LEFT-REARSET-REAR-SET-DRIVER-FOOT-PEG-REST-STOP-OEM-STOCK/401521230405?hash=item5d7c87c245:g:CmgAAOSw94Bazohv:sc:USPSPriority!73179!US!-1 and heres the brake www.ebay.com/itm/2004-03-04-06-09-YAMAHA-YZFR6S-YZF-R6S-R6-OEM-RIGHT-REARSET-BRAKE-PEDAL-FOOT-PEG/323158048404?hash=item4b3db87e94:g:Z3EAAOSwgflasQg7:sc:USPSPriority!73179!US!-1 You just have to look for a while to find what your looking for. They also make universal rearsets but there usually north of $100.

[@chekovll]

Where did you buy the speedometer looks cool..

[@michaels.333]

I made the dash that holds the gauges, the tach is from ebay and the speedo was a bicycle speedo from Walmart; but im going to get koso gauges for it next. You should give them a look, their gauges are pretty much all in one and they are small, about 2.5".

[@saadchiguer2701]

Sweet bike you got bro! What size of jets you running?

[@michaels.333]

Thanks! and I believe they are either 105s or 110s.

[@MarioLoco03]

Cool bike! what kind of forks are those?

[@michaels.333]

Thanks, they're off a 2004 GSXR 750.

[@williamfernandes6489]

in the photo it seems to be 1 centimeter out!

[@glengerdes2447]

The rear part of the tank looks too high. Keep up the good work.!
