    adventurco: Thanks for the info and good job on the zerk. Mine moves freely with some fresh grease. I did get an OEM seal. Even with slightly greasing it and the piston with brake grease, it was still quite a tight fit and took some pressure to seat the piston. I'll check it's functionality...

    A few weeks ago, I removed my forks and brake assembly to start working on them. The forks were a little rusty, but no bad pitting, so I started cleaning them up. I got the old seals out with a seal puller, used an impact drill to remove the allen bolt, and polished the lower tubes. It...

    Thanks to all that are following along! Quick update, but it was a big milestone for me, since I've had these tubes, tires, & bearings for over 4 years now... I got the new front rim (which is in great shape) and laced it up with new spokes. I got the replacement spoke for the rear and laced...

    Bought a good condition used front rim, just waiting on delivery. Sadly, mine was too rusted and the metal too weak for me to trust it (was able to push through the metal.)

    crazypj: Thanks for the info. I'd recently read somewhere on here about a 350 with stacks that was being tracked. The owner was testing things out and noticed a huge difference by just taking the wire mesh and giving it no filtering whatsoever. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm going to...

    So, back to the parts bin, drawing board, and wallet for air filtration. Wasn't sure where I was going to mount the battery either, so maybe it's just as well. On another note, since the engine is pretty much done, I thought I'd turn my attention to my wheels. I had cleaned up the rear wheel...

    crazypj: Thank you so much for reading my build and helping. Really it is appreciated. It's been a few years since I've been reading and researching all of this. In my mind, it worked.... haha... Just was trying to work with what I have. Not sure if I'm finding what you're talking about...

    Thankfully, no issue with the valve cover. The tappet locknuts were seized on, so I let them soak in penetrating oil for a day and just had to use more force. It's easy to get timid when trying not to damage/strip/break these old fasteners. Was able to apply the bonding gasket and install the...

    1980 CB750F for $180, modern suspension and upgrades for a cafe racer build

    There is this start/stop throttle control. I'm not sure who makes it, but got one for my project as well. It's also notched on the bottom, so you can feed the wiring outside of the bars, but looks OEM. http://www.ebay.com/itm/151994489489?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    Mufflers arrived as well as a heavy box of other parts (rear shocks, sprockets, cam and drive chains, handlebar switches, coils, regulator/rectifier, cables, etc), so I began putting things back together a little more. Really like how the muffler looks. I installed the new sprocket after...

    frogman: Thank you! Seriously... haha Hope all is well with you! So I've been hard at work figuring out where I left off. Here's where I am: - Transmission had some damaged gears, so I had bought one from eBay and installed it transferring the clutch from my old one. - The rotor was...

    From the graaaaave... After a long hiatus I'm back to working on this 360. Sorry it's been so long, but just had too much going on to devote to this. I'm living in Tulsa, OK now and after the move 3.5 years ago, I just lacked any motivation to work on this. Also, I had a Boxster S for awhile...

    Thank you all for the encouragement. :) Still have a LOT to do... (Wiring, exhaust, rearsets, suspension, brakes, wheels, lights..... basically everything else) Just glad that then engine is sorted. Huge hurdle for me. I was out of town for a few days, but I believe my transmission...

    ducatiboy: Thanks brother! Yeah definitely glad I split the cases and inspected everything... Should've known I was going to find some broken things in there too... That's been the way with this engine, so it really doesn't faze me anymore. As for the decals, they are 1960's Honda Wings and I...

    crazypj: Yeah, I was thinking the same things. I put in an order for a new transmission: $34 shipped. Doesn't seem too bad. The closer I looked at the 6th gear on the counter shaft today, I saw some wear and tear on it too. Better safe then sorry and easy to replace since it's already apart...
