Oh thank GOD I didn't run into any of that! The engine is actually coming along really well, except one of my rocker arms needs a tap run through where the tappet adjuster screw threads in; it's got a messed up thread *right* at the bottom edge and I can't thread through it (those things are...

Wow, I'm really behind on this thread. I'm running a 90/90 on the front, and I'm using slightly wider than stock rims. Family has kept me out of the garage quite a bit (the heat over summer hasn't helped any either), but I'm making slow progress and getting the engine reassembled at least...

You nailed it with the front brake mention. They were just in the wrong bag, they were the washers that keep the front pads locked in place ...mystery solved!

Perfect, I'll bet you're right. :) Thanks PJ, I knew you'd have a good answer.

Does it look this way in person? Cameras, especially phone cameras, have really poor automatic white balance when looking at bright colors. The color in the sun reminds me of the mint / black theme Honda used on their Magna Deluxe back in 1995 (I had the purple / white from that year).

Thanks guys ...I'm really pleased with how it's coming along ...albeit slowly. :) Here's a question for the hive mind. ...anyone know where these go? lol They were in a bag marked (by me) "Rear Brake Cover" meaning the drum cover for the rear wheel. ...but I'm puzzled as to where I actually...

I'm really digging the color (out in the sunlight). ...3 of those braces, you say?

It's not really a custom color, I had selected something very close from Prismatic Powder's online resource gallery, then took that to my powder coater ...that paint was glossy though and would need a follow up application of a matte clear coat, which is hard with the fins (to get even...

Thanks guys, I'm pretty happy with it. And you nailed it PJ, it's the exact color I was going for. When I tore the engine down and saw that gold color inside the upper crankcase, I knew that was what I wanted for the entire engine. :)

Well, it's been a long time since I've checked in, but that doesn't mean I haven't done anything. Finally got some bits back from powder; the hubs I got a while ago, then sent wheels out for lacing. Before doing that I needed to clean up the original spokes, as I planned to reuse them. They...

BOLT, RR. ENGINE HANGER (LOWER) 90106-388-000 This is the long bolt that runs through the frame that the footpegs attach to on either side. Number 19 in the pic: If anyone has one that's not bent, I'd love to buy it off you. :) Thanks

Awesome! ...you guys rock!!! Thanks.

Pulled the part of the 3D printer today and test fit everything; looks like it will get the job done. ...next step for this portion is to get the part quoted for CNC and black anodizing. I think it will look sharp when it's all done (I'll probably make sure the turn signal indicators are...

I was afraid you'd say that, as I have no access to a lathe. lol

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone can tell me what is being used in this picture for creating brackets. I've seen these same ferrules used in lots of photos for making frame braces, etc., but have no idea where to source them. ...is this something that these guys are simply making by welding...
