 The header is closer  than the cooler. It's up high and out of the way. The oil lines go between the 2 and 3 pipes. I'll be sure to check, though.

 That's correct. I have a KZ tail section and asked Mitch at Vulgar Cycles to fab up a pan using it; he said he could make a whole pan that matched the lines of the tank and fit the bike better. That's all hand made with a removable section for upholstery. He did mimic the lines of the KZ piece.

I know this is asking a lot but how much did it cost and any chance on them making another :) I want to mount up a ducktail so bad!!

 He did a few fab jobs at once, so I can't say what the tail piece would cost. He also had my bike there for mock up.
 Here's his website: http://vulgarcycles.com/

 Got the new tires mounted and balanced and installed the Henry Abe wheels....mostly.





 Turns out I have a 550F swing arm and the H.A.'s use a K style backing plate. I have three axles here and they all fit, BUT....
 The spacer on the F swing arm is wider than the spacer on the K swing arm. Now the search is on for the proper spacer.

 Long time no update. I've been working a lot, working on other projects and just waiting. I keep staring at the bodywork in the spare bedroom and get motivated from time to time.



 I recently picked up another 550. It's always bothered me that the engine covers on the STF2 bike are polished and almost everything else is satin, matte or semi-gloss. So....I pulled the covers off the "new" 550 and cleaned/sanded them and painted them semi-gloss black. These will go on the STF2 bike and the polished covers will go on the new 550. Win-Win for me!

 I dropped of the engine at 2Topia Cycles for some "Winter Filler" for them and, wouldn't you know it, they got swamped. Nate only recently got started on the top end work.



 Bored for the high compression Yoshimura pistons.




 Valve job, port and polish, match ported manifolds, clearanced for CB650 cam.

This bike looks great.  I'm glad it's come out of hibernation.  That paint color looks beautiful and unique with the satin finish.

 Odd that you ask.....
 I was told they were 0.50 over. The even have .50 stamped on the crown. In actuality, they are 1.00 mm over, for a displacement of 562cc.

 I had a hard time finding rings but I  now have a set on the way from Australia.

I've had a hard time definitively determining whether the Cruzinimage 600 kit, Wiseco 572 or the Yosh 562 produced the best power/torque increases over the stock with the 650 cam and a ported head.  It seems like the higher compression of the Wiseco and Yosh kits make up for the smaller displacement increase and might even produce better performance.  Anybody know for sure???

Love the bike, Scott.

In a perfect world, with all other systems equal, higher compression should out perform small displacement differences. Compression should equal more power per CC. Only a dyno will tell for sure.

I just want it on the record that I find it borderline offensive that you swept your floor and came up with a set of Lesters and these Henry Abes. So much inspiration going on right now on this forum and you're all up in it.

No doubt. I wish I could sweep up those parts off my floor -- then I'd have more builds going!  That said, I feel extremely fortunate that I was able to source NOS Lesters for my 550 without having to sell organs.

 Yep, that's Gus, my best buddy. She's 16 years old and nearly stone deaf now. Best. Dog. Ever.



 I thought I posted some pics of it mocked up.....here are a few more. None since it's been painted, though. Hopefully, the rings will be here soon and the engine will be buttoned up and I can get back on this one.

Just increasing displacement is easy. Building compression takes a little more work but is KING. PM sent Don

Hey Brent.  I got your PM.  I definitely agree after doing some additional research.  It's just that the cruzinimage kit was part of a bulk parts deal that was so good that the pistons/bored cylinders were basically free.  I may just save that and the ported head for my stockish 550 engine, IF it needs rebuilding some time in the future.  I am now leaning on using my spare 650 engine (and rebuilding it with a ported head and 674 kit).

Sorry for the thread jack!

 Rings are here! Time to get cracking again.



 Gotta love the vintage packaging. I'll have to save a piston box and ring box for "garage art".

Nice mint packaging.  My Lesters were in the original boxes.  Not as Old School or as Cool as the stamped Pops Yoshimura Racing Parts.

 Inching ever closer. I plan on going up to 2Topia today and wrapping up a few things and working on some wiring, too.
