Got it from Dime City, Found out it drew too much power for my setup went with a different unit. Brand new in box never installed etc. dime wants 150, I will take 110 with $10 shipping in Canada, or $20 to the states...

thanks!, ill also have to check out an non points system as well. Cheers

Hey guys just got my project bike up and running but wondered about the Dime city tune up kits http://www.dimecitycycles.com/vintage-cafe-racer-caferacer-bobber-brat-chopper-custom-motorcycle-parts-honda-cb550-cb750-tune-up-kit-20-6808.html I have one of these kits but wondered about...

Awesome thats pretty much what I had come up with but I have never had a chance to do it myself yet

Awesome, thanks That is all great and useful info. What about Bench synching? ive been reading alot on that lately and its a term I had never heard until starting this project. Cheers

Well I dont think so, But I haven't really had it running much. it is a project bike and I have had it running and Im assuming that with the changes I have made It will need to be re jetted. I have also been tearing everything down and fixing it and I would like to have the peace of mind that my...

So, Ive pretty much done overhauling this bike and I have ordered 4 carb kits from DCC. I have never touched bike carbs and I havent the first clue where to begin besides the research stage. I have also realized that I need to work with my setup. I have 4 pods which I have be told that Carbs...

Ha ha the first thing I thought when I saw that was oh it looks like the one on my Bicycle.

That would be great, Ill keep waiting for someone to come to the rescue

Thought so, Best bet on a fix? is it the whole unit that needs a replacement?

So from what I can gather there should be some form of extension in the middle that turn the cable that is broken off?. Am I correct, if so how can I fix it. does anyone have this part kickin around? Cheers

Yeah I know, I just dont want to be beat up on because Im not a prick, I just dont have all the right info. Cheers

I realized that I did not do enough research and as a result have to make Corrections, Lessons learned. This is new to me as I have never worked with old bikes. I have new shocks coming that are 12.5" with both eyes and Clevis attachments so I will see where that takes me. Thanks for all the help.

Got new shocks coming in. 2 inches shorter and both clevis and eyes attachments for the lowers. Should put this back into much more of acceptable range.

maybe the group can help me find a clevis replacement for my lower shock mounts and I can return it to the original location. That would result in maybe 1" height increase over original.

why does anyone change anything? yes I understand it will not look, function or feel exactly like the original. Im ok with that. Im playing around, this is not a touring bike. There are many others who have done the same and love the results.

The bottom mount is not a clevis and to mount them properly I wanted to improve the strength of the swingarm. See images:

Check out this bike, Which was the original inspiration to the project: http://www.cafecyclesri.com/Blacks.html Has to be higher than mine?

Its about the Process... being proud that you took a chance on and what most wouldn't touch means more I think. Nice project!

Well a few things, the shocks are 14.5 inches and if I had a bottom clevis shock mount on the shock I would install it back in the original location. I have done a significant weld job on the mounts that eliminated any concern over swing arm weaknesses. I will be working on a front fork...
