Real back in the day survivor

Looking good...... and your sweet 125 reminds me I need to scan ebay again for a CL100 beer rack

... btw, that's a nice looking snow shovel collection ;D

So now to order some parts...
Figured I might as well rebuild the oil pump while I'm here.
What do I need?

Apart from a couple of 'O' rings, there really isn't much to do inside pump.
Just check the clearances are good.
There is a short tube in sump from pick up to transmission oil pump, that is probably worth changing (only on 550f)

Wow all those Bikes and king tut's tomb....where do you get all this stuff?

That was a grade school project that I didn't have the heart to toss.
 
More dress up parts for a non usable bike...lol

Did finally get off my butt and order the oil seals and a few other OEM parts the old girl needed.

Thinking that over the winter ill pop the motor out for a freshening up.
Might do a "gentleman's express" style motor, so I'm starting to collect those parts.
 
Had some time today so I spend it on the chopper.

Motor needed to come out for gaskets and such.
Came out without much fuss, way easier then a stock frame!
Bunch of parts already here, bunch more to order.

Good to see ya getting at it. I really need to weld up an engine stand bracket for my XS motor. That damned thing weighs a ton. Pain in the ass to work on just sitting on the bench.
 
I just used some angle Al from Lowes. Not the best, but works.
Would be nice to have something more "professional"
 
I'm looking at the 750 lb stand from HF. Then some iron mounts for the bike engine. My 550 engine seems dainty compared to the xs650 motor. Doing anything with the frame or chassis while the motor is out?
 
Got the top end off.
Not a lot of good news...
At some point the motor kind of ate one of the tensioners...

I assume Honda doesn't make these any more either. So on the hunt for a replacement.
Also going to need to find the rest of the broken parts in the engine.

New cam chain guide vs old one

And a broken valve guide...
Wasn't happy to find this, along with the bent valve that caused it.
Just more parts to replace and work to do.
Not 100% sure what the plan should be, or will be for this yet.

Nice bike, i have a similar bc 500 untiteled wich i have at my cabin to drag my ass around the forestroads by winter, i got a155/16 dubbed car tyre in the back ,only snowdrifting with it.
Keep it up,they are fun as hell to ride
 
Scored a replacement head on ebay a while back.
Stripped and rebuilt it so that solves one issue.

Need to rince out the gunk from the bottom end of the motor. Also make sure no passages are blocked.
Then the motor can go back together and in.

As always I am behind the time frame I was hoping for, but at least im still having fun
