Back with another sporadic post for now. I'm nearly ready for powder on the frame. Also starting to plan for upholstery... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

More photos as I get back into the build Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I'm nearing the finish line on completing all of the brackets...as I've done on most other one-off parts, I started with cardboard, then moved on to CAD for something more accurate (I'm also very lucky to know someone with a laser cutter who does stainless fab). Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

One more of the tail light housing (now in steel) for good measure. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

It's been a looong time, but I'm going to once again resurrect this build thread to document the home-stretch. More to come... (Really, for real this time - I plan to finish and document this damn project[emoji106]) Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Quick update- I got my tank back in the mail today from my body shop friend in MI. I still need to have the tank resealed before paint, but the bulk of the metal work is done. The relocated / modified items for the CB200 tank came out nice. (Changed the petcock bung to stock 360 and moved it...

Yep; still supervising. I just re-read the thread again to pick up anything I may have missed over the past few months and continue to learn new things. Thanks for any and all input as always. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Yep - I finally see that! Thanks! You did - I think I'm going to "upgrade" to an all-in-one gauge for simplicity though. I mostly refurbished my stock gauges, but have decided that I want a cleaner look. I may want some other turned brass parts in the near future though... Sent from my iPad...

Finally back in the garage after the holiday and getting over being sick... I understand now what you're saying. It's loose in/out, which is normal. I took the assembly back apart and checked everything then actually spent time understanding every part and its function from rod to clutch lever...

...its sitting loose in the shaft that it's supposed to sit in with no resistance. I'm just afraid to remove it for fear of not being able to line it back up if that makes sense. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I've tried applying as much force as I can give the rod (with some thought toward not breaking anything) I can't imagine that anything is frozen clutch-wise given that I rode the bike (mechanically sound) 40+ miles before the build. My next question- the rod, at one point, walked out of...

Got it -this makes sense and with some more adjustment, I do see the "ramp" movement on the bearing. The rod doesn't seem to move when met with force though. I'll keep playing with it, but more thoughts and input are certainly welcome. Thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

One more pic for clarity. Ball bearing rides on rod... How does this interact with said rod? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

As I look at reassembly of the clutch cable assembly, I'm scratching my head. The clutch lifter rod sits behind a ball bearing attached to the clutch lever but I can't figure this out. I must be missing something. The end of the rod rides on a ball bearing and I don't have any way to positively...

Alright - it's fair to say that I only post when I'm stuck (though I'm a constant lurker...) Updates first: ...the seat pan / LED taillight housing is prototyped and nearly ready to be fab'ed in stainless. The CB200 tank is out to a friend in MI for some more advanced metal work than I'm...

I'm revisiting all of the info from those who are more knowledgable than I, and came upon the best piece of advice I've had so far: build it twice. I don't know how I'd put this puzzle together without "dry fitting" everything first. I like the part about irresistibility too. Sent from my...

According to the site, I didn't order the wrong part BTW... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I don't want to call out any parts resources, but I think I know where it came from. Great customer service, hit-or-miss parts. I'll have to investigate and get a new sprocket, it seems... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Alright - it's been quite a while... I ordered a new sprocket from God-knows-where months ago. It's on and has a shoulder that interferes with the factory hardware. The nuts don't have much of a contact surface. Thoughts? Get a better "OEM" sprocket? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
