I'm new here and figured I'd post some pics from one of my bike projects.
I rescued this bike out of my friends back yard. It had been sitting there for about 15 years. It was mostly original. The engine had been replaced but that was about it. He had the original engine and the title and best of all it was Free.
When I picked it up it was mid July and wanted to do a quick turnaround, so I could work the bugs out. I figured it was going to need a lot of grease (of the elbow kind).
The fist steps were;
1. Points, plugs and condensers
2. Clean carbs
3. Tires, tubes and rim strips
4. Brakes, Rebuild master cylinder, and caliper
5. Inspect wheel bearings and neck bearings
6. New chain and both sprockets
7. Change oil, replace sump filter and honda oil filter conversion.
8. Adjusted valves and cam chain
9. Clutch push rod, seal and bearing
10. Steel wool and some paint
That was the first 2 weeks. I have since added a Pamco.
This is how it sits as of Saturday morning.
What's happening now.
1. Replace front end with a 35mm
2. Replace rotor and, caliper and line
3. Upgrade clutch, springs, thrust bearing and cable
4. Neck and Swing arm bearings
5. Carbs
6. Exhaust 1 3/4 stainless with epo/tpos
I removed the front end, replaced bearing races and marked up the new front end. Then proceeded to rebuild the new front end but things came to a stand still when I realize I had the wrong fork seals.
Mark up.
I hope to get more pics up next weekend.
More Goodies on the way!!!!!
