I got some generic radial master cylinders that turned out to be knock off Brembo RC19 pumps, at least I think they're fakes. Real Brembos seem unlikely to cost 85 bucks per pair :rolleyes:. They look good, which isn't too important to me, and more importantly they work GREAT! I get full...

I can set my timing with an unkeyed rotor, I've set my current cam driven ignition just fine. For 800 bucks I would expect it to be a bolt on and go solution is all.

If it's well made the timing should not need to be adjusted though, and it appears to be well made. I would prefer to have it keyed for ease of installation, who offers one that is keyed?

I don't imagine there will be a problem not hooking that wire up. Those instructions are a doozy to read, have you got the beast running yet? I considered one of these ignitions but the price scared me off. I didn't notice from your pics, is the rotor keyed to the crank or is that the timing...

Nice work! Can you find neutral now? :cheers:

Nice bike, Mailman, it's super clean. I think I'm going to get a set of the vibronator inserts first, but I may go with foam if that doesn't cut it. I can see how the vibronators could work from a mechanical standpoint, they move inside the bar like a pendulum.

It's the handlebars that annoy me most, I'm going to put the stock 76 exhaust on this week and look into the vibronators too. I hooned around a bit this weekend and revved it out pretty high. It really makes great power up in the rev range but it buzzed so badly my muffler's endcap disappeared...

It was bad before the rephase, very buzzy and harsh but the rods were out of it on the big end. Gary brings up an interesting point, it vibrates less with the stock type exhaust than with this old Hooker 2-1.. Excuse the dirt/grease/mismatched grips, I don't very much care about cosmetic stuff.

I don't get enough separation with a hydraulic setup either. It's much easier on the old carpal tunnel but I wouldn't expect a hydraulic actuator to fix the issue, I tried lol

Yea, I've had the engine out and completely apart 3 times over the last decade. There wasn't any play in any direction last time I had it apart. The mounts are all tight. Higher octane fuel lessens the harshness of the vibes for sure, so you're on to something about the duration of combustion...

Thanks for the useful info! You're probably one of the OG rephasers if you did it in 07. I can't tolerate the vibes past 5k, so I know anecdotally my engine must have a major difference from yours. We both have 76 447 cranks that were rephased by Hugh. I'm certain he replaced both of my rods...

I actually sent the crank to Hugh, I don't know what (if anything) he does besides the cross plane conversion. I would say that it vibrates less than it did as a 360 but it's nothing like how smooth an Enfield Interceptor is. I understand that the Enfield has a balance shaft though.

Can anyone who has ridden both confirm that the 533s vibrate less than 447s? I've already gone to a rephase for the sound and vibe reduction and I've messed with my gearing extensively but I'm still not happy with the vibration. Maybe I should just get a smoother bike instead of throwing more...

I have a few miles on my late clutch hub with 7 friction plates now and I really like the improvement. I can even get neutral half the time now!

Does anybody have an opinion on clutch hub cush springs? I'm ripping things back apart and want to either put the stronger springs from Ivan in or the spring/vescanite combo I've seen a few other places.

Well, they did share a lot with the early 911. They were just missing two crucial cylinders lol

0-60: sometime. Oh well, I'm all about good vibes, I would drive a beetle :smoke:

I'm going to use the Alto plates so I'll be able to fit 7 in there. I'm going to try one last time to get the electric start to work while I'm in there but If I can't get it I'm going to rip that junk out for a bit more oil capacity.

I found a good deal on a whole 6 plate setup from a special, I'm going to give it a shot, I prefer a smooth clutch.

Is the dampened hub a nice improvement over the regular clutch? I don't expect Yamaha made a change like this for no reason.
