Finally found a radial tire in the vintage sizes im running - Bridgestone T32 110/80/18 & 140/70/18. I also went with the Outex Tubeless kit. Wasn't easy to install but it removed over a 1lb from the front and 1.5lbs from the rear with the removal of the inner tubes. I also used this opportunity...

you need to counter bore to what ever the insert flange diameter is. for a M10 its probably around 13 or 14 mm. You can do this with a drill bit if you are extremely careful to keep it from biting in.

nice work. I have a HF 20 ton press and one of these swag offroad kits. can bend most anything you'd find on a motorcycle or car. a good tool investment for someone like yourself. https://www.swagoffroad.com/products/swag-20-ton-finger-brake-diy-builder-kit

keep chipping away it!

what a project. thanks for sharing it here.

just an FYI, the regulator can get pretty hot under a seat like that and melt down and fry your lithium battery. Happened to me. I moved it so it got fresh air and haven't had a problem since.

dammnit man, we need pics!

Looks great. Nice work

I had a crash at The Ridge this weekend. Tucked the front end on the entry of turn 7 and slid to the outside, I think my tires were not up to temp and got too greedy with the front brake. I walked away completely fine, not even sore. With the spares I had I could have fixed it track-side and...

Engine braking is largely a product of engine compression. The z900 is probably around 230psi compression and the CL is probably around 150psi.

Nice. I thought the orange peel looked a lot lighter than previous. Did you add reducer to it?

Hot damn! Looks awesome

Engine is back together and everything is buttoned up. Still not sure why it blew the head gasket in the first place, but I went through every element of the cooling system and replaced pretty much everything i could. I swapped out the radiator reservoir overflow tube for a clear tube and routed...

thank you. if you want to see the whole build i have documented it HERE The tires are actually narrower than yours. 4.00x18 & 3.25x19

I put Tarrozi pegs on a KZ750 stock bracket by turning a bung and welding it onto the stock bracket i did the same for the brake pedal and shifter. turned out nice.

I think the tire/wheel combo looks good and appropriate for the year. it will ride better with the smaller tire.

I stuck a bore scope in the front cylinder and as suspected the head gasket is blown. This cylinder was making 225PSI - rear cylinder was 230PSI. I checked the head for flatness and its good to go. I'm just gonna slap a new gasket on there and party on for the rest of the season. I recently...

Its really starting to come together.

Im overdue for a track report here. The last time I was at the track I was a mechanical catastrophe. I've also learned my IQ is practically cut in half when I'm trying to troubleshoot track-side. Day 1 went well, but day two started off poorly. First start up of the day the bike turns over once...
