Bolt porn... I think I am nurturing an addiction for titanium fasteners and been making brackets out of Ti drops I find on Ebay, the stuff is nice to work with, and just the right contamination in the welds make em look cool haha
after seeing the Ti header you modified for your 750 you got me thinking... I bought a GSXR header for $50 bucks that i am gonna chop up for a high pipes on my 750 twin project. I couldnt buy that much Titanium stock for $50

Yeah! if you watch they go even cheaper DL the mybidder auction sniper app it's free for one snipe at a time and it works sweet!
I was hoping to have the engine in the frame for this update, but... I was degreeing the cams when i discovered the cam chain was too short, did some research and found that the MKII motor uses a 124 link chain. I bought the wrong one with 122 link, probably back when i thought i had a 78 motor. This means total teardown to install the correct chain. 
Sometimes i wonder if there is something or somebody out there secretly conspiring to keep me from finishing this project. But seeing as this is my fourth time taking it apart/ putting it back together i think i will be able to do it in an afternoon once i have the cam chain.
Some good news; I ended up powder coating the frame gloss black, and it was probably one of the smarter decisions i have made so far. White was just too overpowering for some of the other cool stuff going on, also a nightmare to keep clean. I also did my first bit of TIG welding on this and finished the foot for the kick stand. I still need to find a stainless ball bearing to weld on the end like the stock kickstand.

no difference the master links are a tight fit then you just barley peen the edges of the protruding pins, that is all it takes there are no forces trying to wedge it apartdoc_rot said:
