76 SuperSport ( the ongoing project)
« on: August 20, 2013, 10:26:13 AM »
This is my 76 supersport that has been a slow project for about 2 years now. The first time I rebuilt it was somewhat a quick job and now i have been slowly upgrading the parts as the money comes in.

list of items still in progress of finding/buying

all stainless braided lines including speedo cable and tach cable
rearsets (still havent decided on brand and style but leaning towards tarozzi's)
possibly thinking of clipons after rearsets
dual disk conversion ( a little later down the road as i have seen it takes a little bit of time to find and fit the parts)
915cc kit with all the goodies including lightened crank and oversized value job (much later down the road, dont quite have the funds for an upgrade like that yet)


For the most part im just looking for help sourcing the stainless lines (size and type)

but anyways here some pics of the progress of my build from start to where it is now

It looks great.  Can you add as to what work you did on the motor and the mods to the stock bike?

Yeah definitely.....Haven't really done much work to the motor except for all new seals for the top end and all the required gaskets except for the case. I had the head port polished and decked with new seats installed, had a local shop do it wasn't too pleased with the workmanship but it works. I just recently picked up a 77f motor which i plan on having the head professionally PP and decked and over sized values installed, but don't quite have the money for it right now. I installed a Dyna s ignition with 5 ohm coils. I have Carpy's 4 into 1 exhaust. That's about it for upgrades to the motor. Oh i also have APE's manual cam chain tensioner.....so other than that nothing to exciting but at least it a running project  ;D

Nice progress.

The 77 F engine ALREADY has oversized valves so that won't be necessary.

Would I be able to just bolt on the 77f head without any issues?
