Good job on that ol' motor HB! Love the polished breather cap, and the rest of the bits and pieces. Also glad that bolt turned out for the best. You're putting anti-seize on those SS bolts right?

That will look so good sitting in the frame.

Had you considered using studs in place of the stock cap screws? Loctite studs in place and they don't necessarily need to come out again. A thought...

ha, I have a vat of anti sieze to put on everything very soon! Especially on these bolts!! (I made that mistake once before )

[Higgibaby]

Looking GOOD!!

I thought that maybe I was the only one that did silly things like polish the unseen "stuff".

wow, Steve...you really went the extra mile on yours...those pieces look amazing!! I'm super happy with the way the breather cap turned out, with the level of time and work put in...if I didn't do the parts that don't get seen, to me I'll always see them so it's worth going the extra mile!

[Higgibaby]

Looks better than new!
That oil line adapter is beautiful.

Thanks so much! It's amazing how much time it took to do that little part!

Ok, so it does look like my bike just puked everywhere...I got my wiring harness back today, all fixed up, the grounds were replaced with the new kind from the fried kind...but putting it all back together! Oh my...gonna take a while!

[growler]

I had to walk away from wiring harness a couple times while checking everything out and then attempting to get it all back in the bucket. Good luck! I'm sure you'll do it proper.

So I need help finding these connectors...my signal gen on both ends are missing this black connector, and have been replaced with just the wire ends with bullits...anyone have any spare parts there not using? Aggghhh....

[Charlie G]

These connectors are available. Eastern Beaver comes to mind as the place where folks buy them. I bought a 9 pin connector from a west coast outfit ( http://www.oregonmotorcycleparts.com/connectors.html ) in Oregon. The lesson I learned from buying one was to be sure to find the right pliers for crimping.

Brilliant, thanks for the link CG, Ill look tonight and get one ordered...(Along with the right pliers)

Had my friend over this afternoon and all the electric are a go! (The dials are a little foggy, it's stuffy in my basement) Although I do need a front duel filament turn signal...anybody have a spare?! So with the electrics all good, I bled the front brakes, and tidied it all up so the motor can just go in...then we should be good to go!

I sourced all of my connectors at my local electric supply store.

Have you checked www.riwire.com ?

Well, here she is...some before and afters! Now, she still not 100%, I still have to tweak some areas over the next few weeks...but for now, she runs well...a small leak did come out of the cylinder head cover on one side, so I'll have to take a closer look at that...Sorry for the overload in images!
