Just this fuzzy phone pic. I'll get a couple legit ones, once I get it put the rest of the way together. Still gotta tuck away the wiring, get a chain, clutch and front brake cable on, swap the TOO quick KX60 throttle for my Mini-Gasser, etc...

firepower354 · 10-31-2009, 06:29 AM

LOL. Bombs/Bomber/Abominable, is 100lbs of American Bulldog. Now that we sorted out that I'm Alpha (besided the wife and daughter, of course...) he's tolerable.

firepower354 · 10-31-2009, 06:35 AM

Kid's dangerous in her own right, though.

mexicanyella · 10-31-2009, 06:45 AM

Did you say, "Here, kids!" and hand the dogs an inner tube and the kid a BBQ pork steak? Silencing tactic?

Pacifiers ain't gotta be shaped like Momma's finest to be effective

cdoublejj · 11-01-2009, 11:49 PM

I've heard first hand, the little one has a pair of lungs haha

firepower354 · 11-02-2009, 05:05 AM

Yup, catch either of us around nap time, and you're likely to get an ear-full

firepower354 · 11-03-2009, 07:33 PM

I rode it today! Around the block, about a mile. No front brake cable or left grip, but it's a rider, finally. The little 117 4-speed is fine for riding the neighborhood. I didn't get on it too hard, between the front brake thing and the big FMF's bark would rile the old folks in the 'hood. Suspension's a little mushy, but that's easy enough fix. I might keep the mill in there. Gonna try a TB pipe soon.

...Would you like me to make that call to the Motown Chapter now...?

firepower354 · 11-03-2009, 08:34 PM

Not too worried. All but the highest seniority one have been laid-off.

cdoublejj · 11-03-2009, 11:11 PM

the CL to me seems so perfect fora big mill build cause of the big wheels and what not. i should my uncles from him, and get pics of it sometime.

mexicanyella · 11-04-2009, 06:41 AM

Perhaps, but is it not also perfect for a small-mill build, for those same graceful, narrow wheels allow one to be whisked to and fro with stately, elegant carriage?

(Especially FP).

cdoublejj · 11-04-2009, 09:44 AM

sure i guess if you want to go the speed of smell j/k

mexicanyella · 11-04-2009, 10:41 AM

The acceleration rate of my K2 is either "glacial" or "imperceptible," take your pick. A CL70 with a 117 in it sounds like a top fueler by comparison.

firepower354 · 11-04-2009, 10:56 AM

Once I get the brakes working right, and get on a real road, it may seem less OK. Maybe use it for an e-start testbed. Or put something big & scary between the wheels

cdoublejj · 11-05-2009, 01:19 AM

i was pondering to day what honda/china big mill build like 192-215cc with ultra high CR and top fuel would be like i'd love to hear a top fuel mini.

firepower354 · 11-05-2009, 05:53 AM

I'm torn. The CL almost isn't a "mini", more of a little motorcycle. Hell, I even fit comfortably on it. I'll have to see if the 117 pulls me on the main streets. I tried mocking up Clubmans and rearsets, but it's still a little cozy for that. I push WAY too much air for it to ever be real fast. I'll try my VM24 on it (TB20 now) and see how it pulls. Gonna try to route the intake back in to the frame like stock, and run a quieter pipe so it's not as offensive. Still need some wiring for the lights, etc.

Would be fun with a biggie in it, though. I was thinking of making a DragZter from the 79, to use as a testbed.
