Everything sold, thanks guys.

Air filters pending, everything else sold.

Sold my project, trying to recoup some of the new parts I bought along the way. I will ship from 16052, I have a UPS account. Also have paypal All prices are OBO Hugh's PMA kit, paid $320 plus shipping, asking $300 shipped New tires never mounted. Paid $300 asking $275...

I might have a hugh's adapter plate. I ordered one when I was going to piece together the kit, then the project got shelved. When I dug it back out Hugh offered complete kits. I'll have to check to see if I ordered the full kit, or everything minus that plate.

Accelerating and decelerating are both making use of the friction between the tire and the road to change the speed of the bike. I would certainly think these would have an effect on tire wear and life. Not saying that is your problem, but tires will still wear from normal driving. If it was...

Start soaking it with penetrating oil now, and give it some time before attempting. Center punch and drill a small hole through the center using a left hand drill bit. Step it up in drill sizes couple of times until you are close to hitting the threads. (the closer to the center you are the...

Are these the same plugs that stripped the threads originally? I'd get a new set. I've had to throw plenty of bolts away that had aluminum stuck in the threads, or damaged crossed threads from stripping out a hole.

The pistons are both traveling.side by side hand in hand. It's the cam that is off so when one piston is on compression stroke, one is on exhaust. Both pistons will be physically at top dead center, but they will be at different stages of the cam. This was explained a couple posts up better...

Unless rephased they are the same.

You would probably set the cyl on the exhaust stroke to an unknown looser tolerance than the cylinder that is on the compression stroke. As grizld1 stated, you are setting it to a point you know the rocker will be riding on the base circle of the cam. That is where you need to set your...

I like the shape of that seat. You should see if your customer will get you some installed pictures to go with it. And your shop blows me away, I would kill to have a work area like that to myself. Overall you seem to put great time and quality in what you do.

Is it safe to use a rod like that in compression? I would think you would want your braking action to pull a little rod like that. I'd be afraid of it bending of I jammed on the brakes. I'm fairly inexperienced with motorcycles though, so maybe that's common practice?

Liking your build so far. What tank is that? Doesn't look quite like what i'm looking for, but looks good on there.

Excellent, Now if it would just fit 3x3 tubing I have a dozen or so 8 ft lengths laying at the shop :thumbsup: Edit, looking at the pics again it looks like it would fit if I put rediculously long bolts in.... hmmm

I already have a set of jig cones from ebay, was going to build my own jig off plans I downloaded from somewhere. What would you charge for a kit, minus the cones?
