  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I got a laser line level to check sprocket alignment it worked pretty good.
 



Ordered a 3/8 offset sprocket today looks like it should be very close.
 
do you square the back wheel in relationship to the crank shaft?
ex:
35" center crank to center axle on both sides?
 
No I didn't just measure from swingarm pivot, but now that you said that it makes more sense will do that tomorrow. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Andy
 
How are things progressing?

My project is slow due to super cold weather but we are expecting warmer temps soon. The carbs and tank are sorted so at the first opportunity I'm going to get them back on and see if I can get this puppy to run. Once I have a running bike and warmer weather, I will go at it with a vengeance.

Hopefully you are still on target with this project. Looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Cheers,
A
 


Coming along slowly had been cold but warming up now. Finally got sprocket alignment sorted 3/8 offset front and 1/8 machined off rear carrier.
 


Also i got the seat pads done and dropped off at the upholstery guy to be covered.
 


Shift link rod cut and threaded. Was not surprised the Honda engine shift arm and the Suzuki foot control both had left hand thread. Luckily I had the Honda lever with the rh thread so had to grind both off and weld the rh thread one one engine shift arm. So now it will adjust like normal.
 



Owner got painted parts back to me today so we had to put them on and see how it looks.
 


Different angle. Not ready for fairing yet will change the look when it goes on.
 
So I spent the last few days fixing broken wires and figuring out turn signals. He bought small aftermarket turn signals and I found that they were to low of a draw to make the flasher work. So off to google for some research and boy I learned a bit. The most simple and cheap fix I found was a EL12 electromagnetic flasher from autozone for $12 works like a charm. I've never been so happy to see blinkers blink.
