My 1327 build

[chef1366]

I actually shaved a bit off my crankcase using Helical gears. The clutch hub seperated that much from the crank. That was with the 1168.

I measured the clutch hub play at .004-.005" so I had .002" taken off the spacer, along with the new cushoin rubber, it has very little play
The old cushion was so old it felt like plastic Should help with some of the rattling noise I was hearing.
I always set my pics at 1300, maybe I should go to 1000. Our camera is a 12mp or so seems a shame to shrink too much.

Got some more parts, Dyna copper wires and APE cylinder studs.
I planned on getting main studs too but they are backordered

My head and base gaskets finally arrived today, so I got the cylinder on today, had to buy bigger hoseclamps to compress the rings

Dude...I gotta change my sceeen size to 30% just to read and see your posts on one full screen without having to drag all over the place...just sayin

How do you survive?

Looking good (including the photos)!

Those pistons are pure engine porn. Beautiful!

You thought about doing the starter switch mod (or what ever they call it) to save your starter clutch? Big engines w/high compression are really hard on the clutch. The engine can make a horrible clack noise when the starter clutch gets jammed during cranking.

Good luck

Got a link?
One of my 1100's is starting to do just that when it is cold.
It sounds TERRIBLE.
It has taken over 70,000 miles for it to occur.

Yes I am thinking I might have to to the mod, probably just a momentary switch to kill ignition while i get it cranking.

Now you have one-hundred CCs on me darn it.
My bike runs hot already. How are you going to keep it cool?

I have an Earls cooler on there. And also I live in the cold North, I have my cooler taped over most of the year, My gauge rarely sees over 100c in the summer.

Got it running tonight. LOTS of jump, it was rainy and wet/cold so I had to take it fairly easy, nothing over 1/2 throttle.
Had to jump it from the truck. Not enough juice in the battery to turn it over. Kicks back now and then, wired in an igniton kill to thelp with that. Went for a 1/2 hour ride and still not enough to flip it over. Had the starter apart, cleaned the comm and brushes, greased the bearings.
Anyone know of a HD battery brand/ model for these? The current battery isnt that old.

It lives? Great!!!
You'll figure out the little stuff.

If you are using the stock advancer with your dyna ignition there is a slight mod that will help it start without kicking back

Maybe you need a Super squirrel... Paul Cashio takes a mitsuba 229 starter (look for counter sunk phillips screws in the middle of the starter holding the fields in. three of them.) and rebuilds it for more power. Even designed to handle 24v. Cell 1-504-458-5237 or at cashio cycles 1-504-393-2260. pcashio@cox.net

Yes, I have heard of them, I have read the thread. Do you know what he charges for one?
I am thinking of upgrading my starter and ground wires to 6 gauge first
Should be better when it is broken in more, but then the rings will seal better
