Lester wheels?? I see lester wheels! Sorry I get excited
I just have a front

Save it for the next one

As for your bearing thing, I do recall that's exactly how it moved with the stock bearings, free with hand but in place when I was moving the frame, so it's probably fine if you have everything torqued down on the stem...

So the fat washer worked with the stock stem?
I'm getting ready to do this tomorrow.

Yeah fat washer worked for me. Frame is a 71, triple is from '74. My kit instructions said how to measure before installing.

Well, I was going to install oil pump with new stopper and spring, but after looking it over from just the outside, I don't even want to put this pump back in the motor. Housing has obviously been taken apart, most screws are stripped out. One is missing between body and base, and appears not even a gasket in there. How do people think this is OK!?

Installed all balls steering bearings, not too hard. Quick question about adjustment/tightness. I know it's hard to quantify, but (without forks installed) should the triple stay in place or easily move back and forth? Right now I can move easily with my hands but it stays in place if I move frame around. (Hope this makes sense)

With no forks the trees should not move freely

Dave - just a reminder to clean the powder cost off the frame where the battery NEG cable attaches. There, and near the head stock where the HORN and LIGHT will ground. The powder coat can prevent a good, solid GROUND from occurring and you can have difficulties with the proper operation.

Frame looks very pretty in that gloss finish.

Thanks! I knew about the spot where the Battery negative goes but would have overlooked horn/light.

Brought some stuff to work today to get done. Got bronze bushings installed in freshly powder coated swingarm. Froze bushings, heated swingarm with 500w work light, installed with some all thread. Went waaaay too easy. Now I don't know what to do with myself

Made some adjustments to all balls steering bearings/triple to close gap on fork ears after reading a recent thread in another section.

Thin washer on bottom, ground down top cap. Kept upper dust seal.
Also front spoke kit arrived...

No number from yamiya

Do the nonos have chambers or straight through? I've been considering that option too after reading around here. Many seem to love the 300s for an agressive street 836...

Davez134 · « **Reply #164 on:** January 26, 2015, 06:02:32 PM »

I'll take the ends off and check for ya in a bit when I get back home. Heading to play some hockey right now. Quality of these seems great!

Those are nice! Can you also post pics of the other sides of pipes? Would like to see The chamber welding spots

They are straight through. Tried to get it in this pic, but hard to capture.

Got my replacement oil pump rebuilt. New oil stopper seal/spring, new shaft seal, new case o-rings, new gasket. Clearances checked .16mm between rotors and nearly same between rotor/body. So I can rest easy now. This is what rotors looked like in my pump that i replaced. No wonder it didn't feel smooth

Now all good to go...

No real big updates, just waiting for a couple brackets, front brake caliper to show up so I can get powder coated then start assembly.

I needed some exhaust spigots, and found these made out of stainless steel. Cheaper than original replacements and no rust worries

Dave where did you get them. They look great, are there any more available?

I got them from a seller on ebay. Contacted him before buying, said he was going to try and gauge interest and make more if there was a need. They look great, but unfortunately the dimensions are just a bit off. The length from the bottom of flange to end of spigot that presses against gasket is about 2.5-3mm too short, so it will for sure have an exhaust leak. Also the diameter where pipe slides on is just a bit off as well. I contacted him about this and waiting for a reply back. We'll see what happens.
