After being away from home for the last 3 months I now have abit of time off and carry on where I left off.
I had the motor together before I left so put it in the frame today.



Fitted the rebuilt shock , Clutch & Throttle cables, Carb and started to sort out the wiring.
Fitted the pipe for a dummy run to check fitment (good) and just mucked around sorting out bolts and stuff.



I will have the head back this week so will finish off the engine. The barrel is on to check carb boot alignment and cable routing.
Have picked up the shrouds with the new graphics which look sweet.
All I need to do after the motor is throw some new tubes in the tyres and fire the old girl up. ;D
Hopefully all done early next week.

Had a good run the last 2 days and have managed to finish the old girl off.
Have fitted the 85' head and piston which is a flat top with a different squish then the 84'.
Head has been machined to clean up years of abuse and to slightly change the squish band.
New twin air filter , Renthal R1 chain , new rear tyre and tubes front and back.
Started the bike up and did 2 heat cycles and it seams to run sweet.
I need to adjust the clutch ( plates are sticking ) but I need to get to a track to finish that off.
All in all after a lot of hard work I am happy with the outcome. ;D
Now I just need to ride it.

Very nice indeed. Have an adult beverage or two for a job well done.

I gave up on the idea to make some stainless footpegs as I don't have the time.
Although they would look cool I found a set of Crome Moly pegs off a WR for $40.
I cut the mounts of my old pegs & the mounts of the WR and welded my mounts to the WR pegs.
Total time about 30 min.



About 3 times wider then 1984 standard. ;D

Na ford, built it to ride it. ;D
But if you want to pay for the freight and the bourbon I might be able to ship it over. ;)
I do have another to put together yet.

Hmmmmm,I don't drink bourbon but I'll tell you what I'll do.You ship the bike to me,and I'll ship the old woman to you.Then I'll sit and admire the bike while downing some of Captain Morgan's finest.At the same time,you can take the old girl and drown your sorrows with the bourbon.Sounds like a win/win to me. ;D

That's what they're for :o I always thought they were placed here to shorten your lifespan and make what few years you have left miserable. :'(
