Well changed gears a skosh on the brakes - I think I'm going to leave the floating rotor for the bobber and put on the XS1100 rotor on this one. I ordered a rear XS1100 rotor, but learned that they do NOT have the same size rears as the 650's (information for the slotted rears was a bit inconclusive, so I need to do a little "figuring".
Oil seals and swingarm bushings came in from Germany, I got the old charging system removed, removed the stock swingarm (the axle was a ROYAL pain to drive out!) and a few other odds and ends. I received some AWESOME quality parts (rear fender, gauges, clutch lever, etc.) from
@kawabunga (thanks again!) and sold the old voltage regulator (thanks
@Mike G!). Also received the replacement airbox in GREAT shape (thanks
@DB90!!). The gauges are in GREAT shape, so I won't need to do hardly anything for these, so that's exciting!
Bought and installed new wheel bearings, bough fork seals, fuse block and battery (a Chrome Battery 14AHl-BS) and a clutch cable.
@figure8 has a fork tube for me, I just need to pay him for it. I've been working on cleaning the motor up some to get rid of all the dirt and grime and prep it to change all the seals (after I do compression checks, as I don't want to waste my time doing that if the engine needs further attention.
Need to figure out plug caps, coil and plug wire as well as order the Hondaman ignition. He recommended a 5 ohm coil to increase spark duration, so I've been searching for one of those (
https://www.lowbrowcustoms.com/5-oh...eM3VxXA0ST6AdZNSwWvE0SIJtn-0858xoCqqMQAvD_BwE). One question - what plug wires and plug caps should I use? Any advice?? I think I'll run some autolite #63 plugs, but I'm still not 100% certain on what to run.... I'll still have to rebuild the points plate and lube/inspect the advance mechanism.
Also need to order a 1 piece clutch rod, the clutch bearing upgrade parts, swingarm pivot tube w/ updated threads, master cylinder, and some other bits and pieces. Also need to rebuild the 750 swingarm and add in some appropriate zerks to the center stand, swingarm, etc per
@5twins recommendations. Lots to do!! Bit first is getting it running!
So w/ the parts bought and sold recently:
Running total: $1212.75
