Well guys, got around to putting the chain on. Just so i could make sure i got the right length. i noticed a bit of a problem. I can get the trans to shift into 1st and neutral but it does not shift up after that. Any ideas? Im praying yall dont say its a shift fork...

Are you trying the shifts while turning the rear wheel (with chain in place obviously)? It may not shift on the bench/parked if the final driven shaft isn't turning.

I have not. ill give it a try. I do vaguely remember this being an issue when i test drove it the day i bought it. I thought it was just slop in the system since the PO had ebay forward controls that were very poorly installed.

    I just found this build today and just finished going through the entire build, up to this point and this is quite a build, with lots of info being shared. Pretty cool effort. I will be checking in on the progress. Gotta give credit to those who REALLY get into a build.

Thank you! it has been quite a learning experience that's for sure!

alright i finally got the motivation and space to pull the engine and take a look at the transmission issue. Ill be hopefully tearing the bottom end down this weekend to see what parts i need. anyone have a good resource for doing this job?

Ken at CycleX is always my first choice!

Thanks! I emailed them awhile back on parts. never got a response. i ordered my exhaust from them. ill have to try to touch base again.

I am getting ready to start a very similar build. Quick question thought. For the rear shock, how did you decide on the mount points for the linkage and strut?

Ken is not always responsive on email.  It is better to call and ask for him or his sales person.
