No big updates to report.

I got the motogadget parts i ordered.

Chrono Classic 10k RPM meter with digital speedo.
Transistorized fuse box with the "M Button" addon, wich creates a bus for all wires from the handlebar mounted switches.
I also got the RFID ignition lock.



I have made a test bracket, so i can see how the meter looks when mounted on the bike.





I have mounted a front fender. This alerted me to some problems with clearance on the front fork.
I was under the assumption that the fork had 100mm of travel, but as i have found out. it has 120mm of travel.
With the 19" wheel and the long neck of the Honda, i only have 115 mm of clearance with the fork extended all the way.  The fork legs are almost flush at the top triple tree. so i might have to create a custom top triple to get me some clearance for the wheel. Its either that or getting a lower profile tire for the front.

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.
