It's bloody cold in Melbourne right now. I got the fireplace in the man cave hot to get the engine parts up to temp before painting with VHT satin black.
Then I baked them for an hour to cure.

Well I seem to be building the bike from the oddball year. Parts for a 73 or a 75 onwards are much easier to find.....
So I had to cut most of my own gaskets

How nice is it assembling a clean and painted engine. So much better than working on my dirtbike engine.

Finally got engine slotter back into the frame. Really need to paint the rest of the bike now too.

I have not been able to find an oil pump for this model so running pre mix for now.
Bolted the exhaust back on and the carb and took it for a ride.
Gear changes work well now and overall a big improvement in power through the bottom and mid range. Top end is still lacking though.
Will need to do some work on the jetting I think.

Jetting changes are proving positive by going richer on the main jet. Ordered the next 2 sizes to keep testing.

Time to start on the front end.
Made brackets and a number plate. Planning to round off the corners of the plate little.
Ordered some smaller led indicators to replace these monster old Suzuki dirtbike ones.
Also ordered a fork brace that I will use to mount the front guard too.
Finally making some progress
