Nice! getting good oil up top?

 

[yozzer74]

I had caps off oil flowing nice

 

[Tune-A-Fish]

Nice! did you cut the frame or plan to re-torque the head? I didn't on the last two but used NOS OE gaskets and no leaks except the stator cover where the wire goes through, that needed shellac.

 

[yozzer74]

No didn't cut the frame I've used Honda gaskets so I'm hoping it will be ok for leaks

 

[yozzer74]

Still working on wiring harness .can't believe how long it's taking me to do it.got my new coils on and clocks today .

I may have a problem had bike running today just in garage.for about 5 mins oil pressure was OK at first .but when it got hot pressure dropped down to zero on gauge but when reved went back up to 20 .could it be because it was over heating .???

Sweet gauges yozz love the look guess they wasn't cheap and decent coils too , might change mine out at some point but don't want to jinks my electrics didn't enjoy that part of the build but once you get it done you are definitely on the home run . Not sure bout your oil mate is there a breather pipe just check that's ok and the right amount of oil mine did the same when I opened her up on a bit of a hill then went back to ok ,when I got back I had to top oil up guess it was just getting round everywhere and getting air out of the galleries still amazes me how hot these things run tho

Made a little video of the build so far thought I would share it https://youtu.be/9bhiINRTh6Q

Small up date the bolts that hold calipers on were in bad shape .I wanted the new ones to match the titanium bolts I've been using .but one of them is a special pin bolt so I ordered some over sized bolts and had them turned up on lathe .

AtaBoy! spare no expense to Ti it all together.

Fellow Atomic22 addict :-[

 

[yozzer74]

Little bit more done on bike .progress is slow at min busy with work and family life .had a bracket made for clocks they were mounted a little high before .it also holds oil light .also got a taco plug to match tappit covers from JW Design .also bought some titanium banjo bolts to match other bolts .

 

[Loctite77]

Those are some sweet tappet covers! Looking good man.


Yeah Son!

 

[yorkie350]

Progress is progress yozz mate , our lass is always saying Rome wasn't built in a day ??? love the clocks bracket looks expensive, but its those touches that make it stand out always liked those tappet covers might invest myself for 350f and I know how the busy life gets in the way of been in ya shed haha

 

[yozzer74]

Nearly finished just a chain to buy .don't no which to go for black or gold .and break lines to buy . Probably be something eles too which I've forgotten about. A few pictures ..

 

[doc_rot]

stunning! in regards to the chain i would apply my new favorite axiom "When in doubt, black it out"

 

[adventurco]

This thing looks the tits. Nice work.

I'd agree with doc on the chain, black over gold. Would sure look sharp if you could get one with silver plates though

 

[Maritime]

+1 black chain all the way, with silver plates if possible maybe.

Where did you pull those rearsets from?
