Fronde - which switch did you opt for to operate the Chrono? I've got the same package for my 550 build. I elected the M12 single button as I "think" I can locate it in my top clamp.

That clearance issue is a major drag. Would pushing the offset of the fork "forward" be sufficient to provide the clearance you need? I'm having a custom tree made with stock offset for my GSXR/500 build for this very reason, despite a 17" front tire.

Damn!!!!  I completely overlooked the fact that I will need a button to operate the Chrono guage (that it doesn't have any button built into the unit!  Looks like I will have to shop for a M12.

Small update wit the engine.



Just finished gapping pistonrings.
Holy crap the cheap ring grinders are bad. I spent almost as much time on improving the grinder as i spent grinding the rings.

Just finished installing pistonrings on the pistons. It was a pain, as i bought #$%*ty piston ring pliers.

A fitting punishment for the makers of such a #$%*ty tool would be to be forced to use it for a week.

Lycky me i did not break any rings.

Update with pictures.










the progress on the engine assembly have been slow. I managed to pinch 2 oil rings on the first atempt, so i had to order new rings.

this time i made sure i did everything right.

Update with the engine all assembled.

Next is crimping connectors to the generator wires of Anders's 35 amp generator upgrade.

The next i have to get is new carbs,
