Definitely moving forward now! Except for the part where I knocked the headlight off the bench and broke it...
Opted for the F2 cam since the Webcam 41 is on its way back to where it came from and the "D" grind will need flycut pistons (next build). Should have it running by this weekend, ready to start the 500 mile break in.
>Cylinders and head painted to match the cases. Engine is in the frame!
>Increased the main jets from 110 to 125 since we're now rockin' 836cc with a mildly ported head.
>Dyna coils along with Dyna S installed and static timed
>Added a couple of relays to take the load off of the ignition switch, not sure how many more wires I can fit into the headlight bucket...
>Added a "trigger" wire from the coil for a shift light
Left to do:
>Install new custom rear fender
>Finish tightening bolts
After the 500 mile break in:
>Install 1/4 turn throttle
>Lower the forks and shorten the shocks
>Fit drag pipes
>Drag handle bars? (Time permitting)
>Add "go fast" decals
>Head for the local track for test and tune
Work on the bike got trumped this weekend. Got to see the Outlaws perform Friday night, which would have been pretty cool all by themselves, but they were the warm up band for George Thorogood! Then turned around Saturday morning and drove to Gainesville for the Gator Nationals! Got to meet "Mr. Drag Racing" himself:
Courtney kept hitting on me, but I had to explain to her that I was happily married. She was disappointed, but didn't take it too hard, since right after this photo was taken she went out and ripped off a number 2 qualifying run at 325mph in 3.69 seconds!
