Back up and running, May 14th Nemeth's Pistons and Pints

That "XS650" is actually a TZ750.

What is that one part that has got you stuck on your rebuild project? I am curious to see what people are getting stuck with Mine currently is a clutch basket for a Ducati 750 GT, While N.O. S. ones are somewhat available paying through the nose for them @ 362.00 just makes me want to fire...

74 should make it a wide case 350, unless it was built in Spain. Sebrings aren't super sought after and the desmo stuff really was only built in Italy. It's definitely going to be a bevel drive, with a 350 jug on 250 monza cases, but it was the early 70s and at that time Ducati was in a bit of...

It's the Barbeque this Sunday @ 3 see if this link works for you. https://m.facebook.com/events/321256418025199?acontext=%7B%22ref%22%3A2%2C%22ref_dashboard_filter%22%3A%22upcoming%22%7D&aref=2&arefdashboardfilter=upcoming&ref=bookmark There is also an Aug. pistons and pints...

What kind of adhesive do you use? How does it hold up, I used some 3m panel adhesive on a tail section and you can now see the line where the steel strap is.

Kleen Strip gel works awesome, you want any paint stripper with Methylene Chloride, the old liners come off really quickly. To help it throw some old sections of motorcycle chain in there. I actually just stripped one two nights ago, only took about 45 min. the old liner came out in chunks

The W is the best bike Triumph never built

These look like bitchin rides, I may try and do a few this year!

1st Pistons and Pints night @ Nemeth's Lounge, Check FB for more info and updates, these were great last year, Bike turnout was great and it was a good time!

It will rub off, it cracks and peels over time..... and gasoline will take it right off

You may have to step it down through finer grains of sand until you get smooth, for the money walnut shell and soda are the way to go on engines, unless there is heavy oxidation then glass bead or fine sand at low pressure cut it pretty well without trashing it too much. I would try Glass bead...

Honda p/n 51606-323-010XW left side Chrome Honda p/n 51602-323-010XW Right side Chrome I was checking to see if the 450 stuff I had would fit but they do not.

We would rather have a bike only night, but we are competing with a Quaker Steak locally if it takes off we plan on splitting it up this looks to be a monthly event.

My Duc. is extremely reliable................said no one ever

As long as the bore of the gasket is outside of those "dings" there shouldn't be a gasket issue. As for removing cylinder liners it is really tough to do @ home, You would be better off letting a machine shop handle that. Most sleeves are pressed into a heated block with an interference fit...

Now you Know where I work, Finally got this one approved and tooled up. They are available now, from us below or from your favorite Cometic Dealer. http://www.shopengineparts.com/productdetails.aspx?emid=1982&cid=167&pid=12420&vtype=Street&make=Honda&model=CB650+-+(79-81)&type=model

The coloration is likely due to heat all those metal bits floating around in there probably caused some Pre-Ignition of the fuel charge.

I am shopping for a 1971 or 72 Honda CB500 for a project.

I broke down on the way out....well my battery broke down I should say, need to update my charging system.
