Rejetted to the new DNA Pod filters. Running good :) Might need a bit rejetting to a perfect setting.
Now im just missing:
New seat
Fenders
New oil pressure switch
Oil temperature gauge
License plate
Voltmeter and ammeter
:)
Alright. Long time since I posted anything. Almost done with the build.
Engine rebuild:
New 0.5mm oversize pistons from https://www.scheuerlein-motorentechnik.de/
Bored and honed cylinders by workshop
Valves and valve seats grinded by workshop
Valve adjustment by workshop
Cylinder and...
So I wanted to keep the gauge clean, with no indicators, and I have this unused whole in the crown.
So I saw this "KOSO Analog and Digital Motorcycle Warning Indicator", got inspired and wanted to replicate it in diameter size about 29mm with is the inside diameter of hole in the crown.
I...
And then the fuel tabs. I bought a ultrasonic cleaner on 10L from some dude, who got one to small for his interests.
Its some china made thingy bought of eBay, but it works fine.
Ofc the fuel tabs got all new rubber parts. :)
How often does raw, unprotected aluminum need to be cleaned again...
So the front forks was renovated. I originally thought that I had some XS850G-fork due to air valve in top cap, because no XS 750 has that originally, but as I took it apart, I saw that it was the original fork, but some previous owner had threaded a hole for an air valve.
thanks for the input. Personally I would get a professional to paint the gas tank, because it's the most important piece of paint job on the mc. My tank job was 3500 DKK (466€).
Vinyl is cheaper than paint ofc but not easy to wrap on a rounded tank. You would need to do the wrapping it in 3...
That is amazing! Thx. My bike will not be ready until next year, but I'll definitely try removing the stock air box and getting pods :)

So im planning the design on the side covers and the tank.
The side covers are getting painted the same metal-grey as the fuel tank.
After much consideration I decided that I dont want to have the logo underside a clear coat but instead as matte vinyl print on the outside of the paint.
I...
So Im back from a wedding, honeymoon aaaand sudden sick leave - but now I'm working again and working on the build.
I got the frame back (sanded and powdered) and started doing some assembling to determine the future design.
I'm keeping the exhaust, I always had on it. It is crome and with a...
Last week I also got time to modify the frame. I only did a subtle change: rear loop.
I intended on keeping the side panels and the original battery box for now. So I only needed to cut of the ugly rear frame and also decided to cut all the cable holders (i bought some rubber cable holders...
So I got the final bearings out of the rear wheel. The bearing on the right side was stuck so I had to cut the inner ring up with a dremel tool and hammer it out. No damage to the wheel. Worked like a charm but took some time. The two smaller bearings on the left side could then easily be tapped...
I might have had the same sound on my bike. Hash and raw. Usually when the bike was warm and in lower rpms but disappeared when giving more throttle. I dont know if this is what caused the sound, but I saw that my primary chain gnawed on the inside of the engine cover. Could it be that? Loose...
