Nadene is looking fine. I had a Nadene once...

Need to do some research on the best way to extend wiring... I'm thinking the soldering and heat shrink approach. I recall way back I used to use these nice little uninsulated butt splices with heat shrink. But they were crimp style.

Baddest looking CX500 ever.

Great build man!

The tank cleaned up nicely.

Great thread! Up to page 32 and a long way to go! Inspiring...

This thread is great. Twists and turns abound. Newbies need to start at the beginning. "Two thumbs up!"

Looks awesome!!! Great job!

Last night I got spark out of the other side too! Now I know I have two operational coils, along with the condenser, points, and new plug wires. I took the stock carbs off a while ago but last night finished cleaning them up a bit and mounted them back on the bike. I sprayed some starting...

cdav59 - I'd cut and re-weld that front pipe to keep some symmetry between the two...

Yes great look on the headlights!

I suppose it depends on the depth of the gouges but isn't it possible to hone the cylinders and put a slightly larger set of rings in?

Looks to me like the front is a different pipe too; due to the angle differences. Maybe they used the stock pipe, just did a cut and re-weld job on it to fit it up.

Looking good! That a 60 gallon compressor? That enough to keep up with the soda?

I haven't completed it yet really. I put the tester in and gave it a few kicks and it wasn't looking good. I'm hoping to get the starter running for that. I'm not sure that kicking it over produces the same results as the starter would, although it should...

Taking a closer look at the points and see they're corroded to shit, definitely need replacement. Since I don't have any new ones in my hand though I'm going to clean these ones up the best I can. Well that took some time... OK, Cleaned up, reinstalled, and started metering out. Found the...

Worked on the spark again tonight but made very little progress. Spent well over an hour troubleshooting why I didn't have 12V at the coils when I put them back in the frame. Turns out it was the run switch being "off"! :-[ Still not seeing spark on either side. I made sure the condensers...

Looking good and good choice on the tank selection.

Nothing really new to report. I got the soldering completed on the coils today. I'm going to tape them up and test them; if all is ok then I'll close them up with some epoxy. I'm going to try J-B Plastic Weld Plastic Repair Epoxy Putty. If anyone has any experience with this and if it's crap...

Great inspiring build you have here! Keep it up, I'm following along...
