I still have that coffee pot but upgraded to Keurig.
Hey Rich,
Look at my old pipes...they weren't drilled out like yours!

Rich,
I found a better view of how the oil filter is positioned relative to the V&H/4-1 pipes for when you upgrade! I just wrapped them to keep the oil off.

That was the one thing that I forgot to ask you about. Filter access. Thanks for the pics.
Plenty of room for oil filter cover removal with stock pipes installed.
Ed, going back a comment you made about the clutch cable routing guide wire: The one on the carb rack has always been there in perfect shape. It was the one that gets bolted to the valve cover that I was missing so I fabricated one. Where I failed was the cable guide I made pushed the clutch cable into the path of the throttle linkage between #1 and 2 carbs, even though the clutch cable was properly set in the carb rack cable guide. The new motor came with the valve cover guide. I triple checked the routing this time.

I am very Happy to report I now have a bike that I believe is better than it has been in at least 30 years. I’ve owned it for the last 15. It has never run nor looked so good.
Big thanks to all who helped me with this (for me) Huge project. I had never actually seen a real live piston before. Much of it was daunting. You all really helped me through it.
To recap: on March 23 I destroyed my engine, or at least half of the rockers in the head, due to me routing a new clutch cable incorrectly and interfering with the throttle linkage. Afraid of what I’d find tearing down that engine, I was able to source a nearly identical mileage engine from fantastic forum member Storm64 (Norm).
I cleaned that engine, honed the cylinders, installed pistons and rings from original motor because they were in better shape. New gaskets all around. Painted the frame, reinstalled the engine.
While I was at it, installed an AGM battery and cleaned every electrical connection.
A few loose ends: still waiting on triumph connectors for the SH775 that I had previously installed. Will redo all the connections around Stator/RR/battery/fuse box. Not because mine are bad, but because with the right connectors and tools, I can now make them better.
Have also been waiting for 3 weeks for a partsoutlaw order for new choke and throttle cables, and new Cush drive wedges.
I still may completely tear down the original engine and rebuild it and make it really pretty. So thinking vapor blast everything maybe. Paint. We’ll see.

er...Freudian Slip? Anywho, ?nothing? to you and a lot of others, I?m sure. Kind of a big deal for me. I consider myself moderately handy, but a mechanic, I am (was?) not.
Tools I bought due to my idiocy that caused this calamity (that I can recall without reference it my eBay and Amazon orders:
Impact screwdriver. The type you hit with a hammer. (don?t know why I never bought one before, WOW!)
67mm cylinder hone brush.
Piston ring spreader.
Terminal Crimper from Vintage Connections (used once still practicing).
Soldering Iron. (used once still practicing).
and a whole bunch of scotchbrite pads and WD-40 for cleaning gasket surfaces. Should have added up the hours I spent doing THAT!
I regret to inform you that something has attached itself to the rear of your motorcycle. Is a bear cub hibernating in there, or is that the fabled child transport/rear spoiler?
Dude. I mean, dude. That's Twin Swirl Combustion Chamber, not shaft drive.
It looks like it's quick release, which is good. Luggage rack looks bolted on, so you'll need a hammer.
Seriously, great job in turning a disaster around.

Thanks Rob. I had a shop put that rack on for me years ago when the boys were little and I worried about them falling off. I didn’t discover until a few years later that they not only kept (tossed?) the original grab bar, but also ground off the forward mounting brackets for said grab bar.
Since then, I’ve replaced just about everything that needed replaced. If I ever find another grab bar, I have a buddy that can weld up new brackets for me. The bear cub is carries my lunch, some tools, and rain gear.

Congratulations on getting it back to a fully operational status; it sure feels good doesn't it?
Yes it does, Scott. It really does.
Rich, I think I said before, but in case I didn't congrats. Your journey is a great example of how wonderful this site is when a fellow member is in need of help. And untimely, don't be afraid to pat yourself on the back. After all YOU were the one turning the wrenches.
Thanks Norm, Scott, Dave, Big T, Ed, rphillips, Bob, Glen, et.al. It means a lot. It really is a testament to this great site, and more so, the great folks who contribute.
