The Bike - C10 / ZG1000 in GPz900 clothing
« Last post by Chrome Megaphone on April 09, 2024, 11:29:35 PM »
I finally got my 1985 Concours/Ninja project running again after several setbacks which included a blown engine due to not replacing the rod bolts after a 2mm overbore with ZX11 pistons on 88-89 ZX10B rods and oil burning from wobbling valves elongating the seals because I couldn't resist tear dropping the guides during head porting. Lessons learned.

Anyhow, now with a re-ringed stock bore and eBay stock head wearing the GPz900 cams, carbs (Dynojet kit), and Vance & Hines advanced ignition timing plate she's not as spooky explosive as before but still fast enough and much more controllable. Yesterday after having it inspected I pulled out onto the four lane road with enough throttle to induce a power slide which was easily recovered from.

I saw it today.  80% sun covered here.  It was strange- clear sky, sun shining, looked mostly normal, except not as bright and the direct sun was not that hot.  The eyes will adjust, making the 80% loss of light barely noticeable.

Used the special filters and it looked like a crescent moon (a co-worker had a safe pair she was letting people look).

Might be the most solar eclipse I ever see in my lifetime.

That's a helluva writeup. I'm going to have to remember that for when I finally decide to add a C10 to the stable.

Any body know where I can get one, shoodaben doesn't seem to be selling them anymore. If anybody wants to donate one to a new c10 owner It would be much appreciated.

That kinda proves that MCs are allowed without toll on hot lanes...  I do look at my transactions occasionally and I've never seen a bill for using the bike on them or HOV for that matter.

It can take a few days for a transaction to show up.  Not sure if the weekend is playing into that though.

Well, has now been 1 hour shy of 5 days.  Still no notifications and nothing under "transactions."  So I suspect using the express lanes as a registered motorcycle with transponder (or car with HOV selected on transponder) simply records nothing that the user can see because there is no charge or problem.
