This was probably one of the most involved mods I did, lots of parts: Engine brackets, spin on filter mount, filter cover, cooler bracket, drilling and tapping the side cover, filter barb, side cover barb, shrinking barbs into the cover and filter mount. Quite a long job..
The most difficult mod, however, was the single points cam: Figuring out the best way of doing it, getting the keyway right in respect of the ramps, getting the ramps right in respect of each other, shave a bit off - check, shave some more off - check. Check the dwell - shave a bit of - check, shave more off check, blah, blah, blah.
Then, of course I had to change the coils to one twin output, a CB750 coil did the job. Initially, I made an ally bracket to mount the coil on the stock frame bracketry. I've since removed the original bracketry from the frame and welded on a couple of new brackets.
Happily, the cam came out spot on and the engine ran beautifully. But, these are the sort of jobs I enjoy, the problem then is when finished, finding something else to modify.
