Cheers Floegstad, brandEn & Rodent! its come to a bit of a stand still at the moment due to my financial situation, but i am still slowly chipping away at it. Will try to rebuild the forks this weekend and maybe order the tyres and spokes depending on how much $$$ I have.

Cheers man, mine is bolted in with 4 screws though. I'm sure there is another stator that might fit so I'll have a browse on eBay for honda stators and see what they say.

Cheers mate, yeah I have looked into it a bit and I think I am going to keep in 6v as it will be cheaper and easier for me. I'm pretty sure I won't actually be able to fit a rebel stator as they seem very different. Mine has 2 coils in the stator, where the rebel has many more.

yeah cheers for that mate. I've got plenty of wax and grease remover that i was going to use before painting.

Yeah the fella on the phone said that too, sounds like good stuff. So just to confirm your opinion, put it back together, get it blasted as one unit, pull it back apart and soak in warm soapy water, then dry and get a good covering of wd40 all over it? Do this with the bottom end as well with...

I might put it back together in that case then, or just maybe get the top end soda blasted as this is the most difficult part and the bottom cases seem easier to clean. No not dipping the motor in water, but was thinking about maybe a tub full of diesel? I read Sonrier gave this advise to...

I hadn't really planned on pulling the bottom end apart much further just incase I get in over my head. I was just going to change out the piston and change cam chain. As for the stator cover, nah its fine I guess then. Cheers

G'day, I pulled apart my engine ready for soda blasting sometime in the near future. everything has been degreased so it shouldnt be too big of a task. My main question is should I mask off the bottom end for soda blasting or just leave it as is or just not get it soda blasted and do it myself...

Cheers man! Updates from the weekend: Put the engine back together temporarily so i could give the whole outside a good spraying of degreaser (weed sprayer bottle worked great for this) then I pulled it back a part and let the parts soak over night before giving them a good scrub. I reckon I...

If you search for cafegoose and send him a pm, he can put together a rear hoop for a decent price for you.

Well given how your cb550 turned out I'm sure this is going to be an amazing bike! Keep us up to date man, I will be keen to track your progress

Cheers mate. Sick, post a link to your build once you start! Reckon the exhaust from an ft500 would fit my bike? I want twin pipes running under the foot pegs.

Got the parts back. Try and use your imagination to picture how the colour scheme is going to work. the tank will be an olive drab/military green type colour and the remaining components will be black.

Still going, I promise! Sent a few bits up to Sydney with my good mate Tim (actiont888) to get sand blasted and powder coated. I havnt seen the parts myself yet, but the pics suggest that everything is looking bloody good. Sandblasting done: Parts that are getting powdered black (nice pic of...

Fantastic work man!!! Good to see
