Wow! :-)

New pipes, a good cleaning and two cans of paint later...

Thanks man! :)The previous owner had it from new, and he had them anodized right from the beginning.

Hi again. So, it seems I´ve got it right this time. I took it all apart, and reassembled it, considering all the very informational inputs here from all of you. As 2M suggested, I had put the cam on backwards. I put it on correctly and made sure it was the right stroke I was working on...

As everyone can see it´s a work in progress...:) But some new downpipes and a few other bits it´l be fine.

I will check that. I think you might be on to my error. I actually did try to reverse the points cam, as that would solve the problem, but the little guide pin can only be inserted from one side, there is a small recess in the one end, that acts as a "stop", so the pin won´t fall through...

Hi everybody. This is my first post here after enjoying all the knowledge gathered here as a reader only. I´m 56, live in Denmark EU, and rode an XS 25 years ago. Now I´ve picked up one again, a ´77, and has done an intake rubber and cam chain change. I´ve put it all back together...
