    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • 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.

Replacing crank and transmission

So the inside splines of the sprocket got chewed up and the spinning sprocket sawed through the retaining nut? :eek: What brand/material was the sprocket made by/of?
 
Hey Bill,

Wow, lots of good work there.

So you did shave material out of the top of the block? Is that because you put 1150 cylinders on an 1100 block?

Thanks for the PM. It's good to hear from you. :)

Take care,

Cliff
 
Chef,

Thanks for posting up all the photos. I'm at work and maybe can't see the last pics before assembly but I'm curious about how clean you get the mating surfaces between the covers, block, cases etc.

It seems to me like you leave quite a bit of gasket material / residue on the surfaces. Not being critical. I'm super anal about it and am wondering if I wasting my time getting mine shiny and maybe even making the two surfaces harder to seal.

One other question which you may not have run into on this build. In your second picture in the first post, looking into the removed clutch there is a small plate with a gasket behind it (I think its called the oil cap gallery and gasket). Does this gasket need sealant applied to it when re assembling?
 
I cleaned the mating cases free of all old sealant.
I did not use any sealant on that new gasket but installed dry.
I also scrape all old gasket pieces off before installing new gaskets and covers. I hate oil leaks!

And thanks for showing me how the cams are properly put on. And the cam chain adjusted. And valves adjusted. And everything else.

:D

The valves are adjusted, clutch installed with oil pump gear, stator cover with different stator installed with idle gear, put the motor in the frame, installed counter sprocket and chain, ran wiring for oil sensor/temp, installed gear indicator and cleaned gasket surface for valve cover.
Tomorrow I will put on the pipe, valve cover, solder in stator, install ignition, jet and install carbs, new petcock on tank, adjust chain and beat the crap out of it.
Drain oil and change filter and let cool and then check the valve clearance.
DONE!
Edit: Re-Torque the head after cooled also.

Uhh... yeah.... When half throttle from a stop starts to bring the front end off the ground... to the point that I have to lean all the way forward to stop it from coming up... yeah. I'd say it's a runner.

You're the king of understatement, Bill.

And that's an understatement.

Bike rolled out of the garage today.
Another successful build.
Customer is happy and so am I.
He's taking it to Death Valley today and I hope he has a good and safe trip.

You rock, dude. Anyone who needs stuff done? You've found your guy. He's done an AMAZING job. Death Valley, here I come! Or as I like to say:

"I'm driving east. Into The West..."

:cool:
