Ok, let's try to do this.
I got this here
and this stuff
Notice the lovely longer forks with everything else stock, mostly. No title, so I got a titled frame and swapped the motor, good fork over and got it running with minimal wiring, ignition + charging system plugged.
Got that working, however from looking in the exhaust and intake ports I could see valve seals were in my near future, and sure enough it smokes a bit. That and leaks from a couple places, oil pump and valve cover.
Time to bite the bullet and tear down.
So far here's where I am.
Pulled the breather cover out. Time to play the lottery:
Cover off, what do you guys think of these cam lobes?
What about tappet surfaces?
Keen eyes will notice in the above something to take care of:
New adjuster screws are needed. All valve tips look like these though, which is better in person, they appear intact:
That's where I am right now, this is going to take a while.
Another question: when putting the cover back on, why not undo all adjuster screws so as not to bend the valves? Clearances need checking anyway. Combined with the rubber band trick, would that help prevent bending the valves. I'll try that at any rate, since the screws need to go, and hopefully I get there soon, can't wait to ride this bike it sounds great and is so smooth compared to the twins I'm used to.
Cheers
