This will be my build thread. I think I'm actually going to finish this time. As I changed careers and life got crazy, money got tight, I changed the direction of the build and just about everything else got in the way. I'm about to enter my last year of apprenticeship, I'm now married, own a home and have a newborn. Still broke but damn do I need some garage time. My wife is also pushing me to finish (bless her heart). It will be slow going.
SO....I'm using a 1975 frame, everything else is supplied from an 81. I have the one and only @Jim working his magic on my tank and tins. I took the motor down and installed new cam chain guide and cam chain, 750 big bore, a refurbished head with new valves from hoosracing and 8 plate clutch. XS performance 2 into 1 exhaust. Running stock carbs for now but will possibly be changing them for the vm34s. Stock TCI ignition. I know it got beat around during the move so am going to make sure it's still working. If not, I'll replace it with a Vape. Waiting on the Motogadget M Unit to come in, then I'll test the motor and make sure it's all good. I have a lot of work ahead of me frame wise as I'm now fixing what a younger, much more dumb me did. I unfortunately don't always take pictures of progress but I'm trying to be better.
Here's some engine pics for now
