check it out..what is it???

[shinyribs]

You could always whack off both ends of the stock swingarm and weld in two pieces of box tubing back in the middle. That long chain would probably be expensive,though

im just guna see if i can get it running with what i have right now...maybe later ill come back to it..im just doing this in my spare time while im waiting for cash to finish the 750 engine...i helped out my bud with some wiring problem and he just gave me this spare harley davidson coil..i had some old cadillac alternator brakets in a scrap pile and i found one with holes that line up...i just had to cut it down a lil bit..its got missed matched hardware but it works..and it clears the tank.

Looks like a 400 CM I believe

i wish!..nah its a cm 250..im having a hard time finding a wiring diagram for this thing tho...theres 2 wires in the coil area that arnt connected to anything..im assuming they are the coil wires..one is green and the other is black with a yellow stripe...anyone here have a similar honda?itd bee sweet if you could take a look for me..tell me what wires are connected to youre coils...

[TOOLS1]

The black, and yellow should be power to the coils, and the green should be a ground.

does this look right?the one on the left is green

[TOOLS1]

I don't know what "right" should, or would look like. The black/yellow should be on the + side. Then there should be a wire from the - side going to the points.

lol yeah..i cant find an online manual..but im guessing the green is from the points..thers no markings on the coil..but I
read somewhere that it will run either way...i got some fuses and hot wired it today..all the electrix are working.guna get
some spark plugs tomorow and put the carb back together and see if itll start up.

[pat english]

got it running today..total cost of the bike and parts $8 bucks...got the harley davidson coil for free from my bud for helping him get a bike running,and the spark plug wires i had laying around..all i bought was spark plugs.pretty neat huh?..maybe i spend a lil more and make it rideable..i need a clutch and front brake cable,and a petcock..let me know if you can see the video..

 Sounds like one heck of a coffee perculatorGet the pipes on that beast before you burn a valve bud

[pat english]

few more weeks till I get some gas for the welder and a 220 outlet..

I love stuff like this!  From nothing to a running engine.  Ride that thing like you stole it!

Very nicely done, Pat.  Looking forward to what else you'll do with this one.

[shinyribs]

murdered out rat cafe choper brat buffet racer lowrider donk blingyblings are the cats meowyou should do that!

[pat english]

i actually like donks..but i dont like the skinny tires...if a donk had mudders that would be sick..like a lifted car...i hate cars..they sit too low ya know..

[pat english]

i posted it up on cl ..some guy offerd me a whole 100 dollar bill!...wow!..i was like "$100 and a bj?"..still waiting for the response.

[shinyribs]

Ya like Donks? I'll trade ya for this...

[pat english]

lol..i thought a donk was an 80's car with big o wheels???(not that big tho)

[Hellbilly429]

is it remote controlled too? lol

[shinyribs]

HAHA. I'm not really up on my urban styles lingo. Could be a donk,maybe not. That "Vette" has 40" rims on it. They dont even make tires for 40's yet. The tires you see are actually recaps intended for road tractor that they just glue onto the rims. Not one but drivable. Trailer queens.
