My fuckin Kawasaki 454 popped a valve tonight and it bounced around in the head a bit. Was I going to stop? Nope fuck this thing I let it rattle it's lame ass around trying to get it back home instead of stranded. Managed to get 7 miles from home til it finally destroyed something else and blew oil out of the filters and was heavily fogging mosquitoes in February and completely died...
This was the second time it stranded me. First was on the way to Skyway to the Dangerzone last year when it decided to short out on the fan and make me lose the head gasket... I decided then it was my first and last water cooled bike. I fucking hate em.
So why am I posting shit about some fucking Kawasaki? Because I'm not rebuilding it had enough of it... so instead I'm cutting the fucking neck off and slapping it on my untitled 883 along with the tins except for the gas tank. My state only titles by the neck number and the Kawasaki is already titled so it's a kill two birds with one stone deal... I needed a frame for the 883 and now I have oneor a neck at least since the motor ate itself on that shit.
Here's the asshole and bike in question that's donating it's neck for the cause.
No pictures of the 883 but it's a standard fucking sporty, if you've seen one pretty much stock you've seen them all. But I'll add some when I have some to share.
I currently have another build going on in the Japanese section on a CM185T. Whether I hack off the neck on the Kawasaki first or slam through the rest of the CM and get it done... I haven't decided yet, but I am now without a daily to ride so something is getting fucking done asap. The CM thread is here if you wanna see it -> http://www.chopcult.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27327 and if you care to see the Kawasaki build -> http://www.chopcult.com/forum/showthread.php?t=23280
I never really spent much time over here, because I had nothing American to build... but since I do and have a plan to cut out the whole title nonsense, I'll be over here a bit more and a lot sooner than I thought.
Cheers

following one of my builds must be excruciating since I take forever... been really burnt and just enjoying riding more for several months. Gonna knock out the Draggin Ballz asap weather permitting. I may get a storage unit to keep things moving along on building... weather permitting and no place to really work is lamer than when lame came to lame town.
