I started this project in earnest this past June--hasn't been together for some 20 odd years.
Here are three pics, just to start this thread. I'll add more when I have something interesting to post.
Perhaps this will start a lively discussion, which is what I like to see here on the Forum.
Notes on pics:
015--Here is my solution to that pesky problem of getting to the top end, w/o having to remove entire
engine from frame. Slip collars are home made. Note orientation of fasteners to clear bottom of gas
tank.
021--I had to weld-in a new piece of tubing that the center stand ass'y. attaches to. The old one was
twisted, perhaps because I had a side-hack attached for awhile. Old tubing was very poor quality.
This leads me to believe that not everything coming out of Japan in those days was good.
026--Oh, oh! Even though I had heavily braced the frame sides before cutting out and welding new tube,
I could not use the cupped washers when assembling the swing arm. Had to order special washers.
For anyone needing made to order washers, spacers, etc. Here is a good place to order from.
