Or the wrong exhaust

The one on eBay is already bored and honed with a piston and rings. Ready to go. Came off a restored show bike and is a reputable seller...

Quite possibly. There is a .05 over barrel and piston for sale on eBay at the moment for $250. I’d guess going the route of a custom...

The Suzuki book calls for .0045 max. This parade has been in the rain for quite some time haha. Suppose I’ll finish the motor less...

And when I say “piston to wall clearance” I am refuting to the overall bore. My verbiage may have been off there. Saying wall instead of...

.012 inches. Twelve thousandths

I’ve come to the conclusion that since I have all the parts ready to go, I’ll build the bike complete, start it and see what it sounds...

Sooo… it’s still ugly haha. I did manage to get the frame all welded up (I’ll get some pics) and I am taking it to get sand blasted...

Does your old one work?

Sooooooo not apples and oranges… just two different kinds of apples.

Spindly??? I do not follow.

Your caliper may be warped. I’ve had that happen. Doesn’t take much.

I believe @gggary bought a set of Norton tins and was happy with them for what he paid. Just know what’s under all that paint haha.

I bought a triumph tank about 5 years ago. It was ROUGH. Heavy as a boat anchor, wobbles all over, deep grinder marks, emblem holes...

I don’t know the year of the change… I’m guessing when they added the power cross feed later in production it switched to the 4 bolt...

Very nice!

It was not a statement as to which came first. Just stating who the big dog in the room was and where all the sales were going. They...

Not the greatest pic, but the Norton referenced above.

That looks top notch! The one on my tool post/compond was missing the handles as well. I noticed a large number of 3d printed “metal”...

I believe the 80mph only came on special II for a few years late in the game. All the others are just blowin’ smoke haha. I’m sure...
