Yeah, sometimes it is easier to pony up the cash than try to make your own. I could probably make them if I had a dividing head. But between time, material, and tooling I could buy a set that are proven and tested for less.
In other news 1st and 4th gear slider are undercut and polished, 3rd and 5th are swapped for xs750 gears for the larger dogs, and spare forks are on the way. So friday after work I'll swing to pick n pull to get a ford IACV since the one I have is too small, then time to pull the engine and get busy with the install.
While the engine is out I'll also install an XS1 cam. I wanted to dyno the bike first, but I also don't want to pull the engine again later.
