SOLD...thanks, Jerm!

I am selling my project after too many headaches trying to get it on the road. My mistake was entrusting it to a scumbag for the build. It never happened so I'm giving it up...too much voodoo for my taste. There are many new parts including a pamco ignition,rotor,stator, rectifier, full gasket...

This guy has some great designs on a 650 and a "grasser Honda" that's killer. http://phillittleracing.com/motorcycle/x650-storm-conversion

I would like to see this taken up too. I think a portion of the sales price should go to the family of xsjohn as a legacy in his honor. I for one wouldn't mind paying a premium for them knowing they were supporting the family. IMHO

Maybe fab this out of 16ga steel...

My bad...just took another look at the pix and I see what you're saying. Maybe you could make a small bracket to attach to the mounting that is already there.

Not a very good picture then because from the one you posted, it looks like if you were to mount it closer to the seat, it would be more verticle.

Run it up higher on the fender...problem solved.

Maddog- Not interested in putting the info on the net.

Alfredo...YES, just the wheels were stolen. I would post the police report but for obvious reasons I won't. Yes, I did post for wheels in the classifieds the day they were taken but didn't want to post about the theft then. I don't understand myself why they didn't take the whole thing...

Put his car up on jackstands...gently though and leave the jack at your girlfriends house for a week.

That's not a bad price at all for as clean as the bike is with the low miles it has. Congrats! You done good! I would like to see some pics of it during the daylight hours! I'm sure your womerns will love it!

Greg is right. There is a spring inside the pushrod seal and to my thinking that would make the pushrod behave differently...possibly wobble in the seal thus creating an inconsistancy on the surface it pushes against. I would replace the pushrod seal with a new one (buy three in case you screw...

To all- I did strike up a deal and will be receiving wheels to get me back on the road. This forum is just the greatest...so many people sharing to keep a wonderful old machine on the road. Thanks to all who responded, flyboy

No...didn't think to take any pics...I was just so mad I couldn't see straight! It's a good thing I don't drink like I used to. LOL All I wanted to do is get it out of there and back home.
