My motorcycle addiction runs deep... at least my enjoyment for fixing them.
Forgive me, the old forum had my tzr project page.. But that's long gone... I am working on a 3xv engine but that has been on the back burner since the machine has been running decent... I'lll post it when the time comes I promise.
Here is this years project.. I have always liked metric cruisers.... But I don't like the HD wanna-Bs. ErrrRrr of course I like the R6 at the showroom here... I don't like payments however... But... (you get the idea)
Doesn't look to bad... but.. Rotten exhaust, cracked bits in frame, missing oem parts uhh!

nice work, never thought to use a tumbler, i got one for rifle casings, what do you use in yours?
Looks like the the green rust cutting pyramid media to me Paul. I've used it myself in my tumbler. It works well, but you have to re-plate or paint whatever you clean as it will stip off any zinc, paint or other plating thats on the item.
Works well tho...put it, turn it on, and walk away and do something else why it vibrates away all the rust.
