Received all but the calipers back from powder coat. Started assembly with what I could. Just need the wheels, tank, fender and cowl painted, seat made, wiring and some small other bits. Progress is steady so far. Id like to say i am a month out till i fire her up but i said that a good 10 times now. Hoping to be finished the end of July early August. Enjoy the photos.

Wow, great progress so far. I'm fascinated by the airbox.

How does it mount to the carbs? Does it have rubber sleeves?

Hey Guys, WOW its been a while.... So to answer your questions on the airbox. its a cognito unit that uses the rubber boots and clamps. pretty sweet piece.

Quick update. I sent the bike to a fabricator with better tools and skills. He is making my cowl and seat as i ditched the fiberglass one. also he made me a new oil tank for under the cowl. Mine was crap lol. He got injured at work so progress is slowwwwwww. hoping to have it back before the end of the month but ive said that like 10x now.... Anyways I have not given up on the project just took a break. Lost 2 friends in motorcycle accidents last  week so thats been heavy on my mind these days. I wanted to ride this summer so i did pick this guy up. 1995 suzuki intruder 800.

Yup Im back  8) Picked the bike up from the fabricator. Took a whole 6 months.... anyways the cowl, new oil tank, battery tray(opted to put the electronics under the seat and the battery under the cowl) are done. He felt bad for the delays so i got a killer deal and 2 seats which come on saturday. Next stop is wiring and getting the chain hooked up and starting her up then ill get it to paint.

Well guys, got around to putting the chain on. Just so i could make sure i got the right length. i noticed a bit of a problem. I can get the trans to shift into 1st and neutral but it does not shift up after that. Any ideas? Im praying yall dont say its a shift fork...

Are you trying the shifts while turning the rear wheel (with chain in place obviously)? It may not shift on the bench/parked if the final driven shaft isn't turning.

I have not. ill give it a try. I do vaguely remember this being an issue when i test drove it the day i bought it. I thought it was just slop in the system since the PO had ebay forward controls that were very poorly installed.

    I just found this build today and just finished going through the entire build, up to this point and this is quite a build, with lots of info being shared. Pretty cool effort. I will be checking in on the progress. Gotta give credit to those who REALLY get into a build.  ;)

I am getting ready to start a very similar build. Quick question thought. For the rear shock, how did you decide on the mount points for the linkage and strut?

Ken is not always responsive on email.  It is better to call and ask for him or his sales person.
