Seems that most of my picture links are dead, I'll change those later on, In the mean time it's good to be back, I finally closed up the case and installed the transmission, now it's just a matter of setting up the linkage correctly so I can try going through the gears. What do you guys recommend when doing that, if the transmission works out correctly I'll install the top part and later on do a bench test run.

This is my progress so far:

Re: 466 project turned in to a 3+ year gig. Engine in frame!

I had a really good weekend, first I made some rough looking but functional paddock stands and between saturday and sunday I got the engine mounted in the frame, I'm so happy after 3 years not working, and 2 with the engine in pieces it starting to look like a bike again!



-I need a to redo the wiring and get a headlight for it, there's a place locally that sells some 5 inch round LED headlights with high and low beam settings, I'm thinking of getting one of those since they draw about 30w on high a bit less on low beam.
-The bike doesn't have any brakes for the moment, the rear has new brake pads, but I got to reinstall the linkage and lever. The front hydraulic lines are are garbage, so I need to redo those, I also have new front brake pads.
-The carbs are in pieces.
-The clutch is out, but I have new fiber discs and HD springs.
-Need to reinstall the airbox.
-Fix the front fender since it's all dinged up and find a solution for the rear.

And that's about as much as I have left before a working bike.

Thanks strynboen, it's missing some things but yes, it's getting there.
