Thanks Toxic! that is what I wanted to hear. I have to get some piston rings first before I reassemble. They are availible from bike bandit which realy upsets me because I just placed an order with them and it was already shipped.

I was really hoping to have a rolling chassis by the weekend but it doesn't look like it is going to happen unless i put the fork lowers on and reuse the old piston rings. I recieved all my triple tree bolts and nuts, brake caliper screw and spring, and rear shock nuts and bolts today. So maybe I try to tackle the wiring harness and finish up the motor this weekend. Or maybe i will ride JETSKI and DRINK BEER !

you advertising the kylon camo paint :] I've heard some pretty good things about it. Is that what you used on your water craft? I've been thinking of buying a gallon of it and spraying my bronco II

I used that camo paint to paint my jetski and i use it for my ar-15 mags. It has held up very good on the jetski.

I know i saw a topic about wiring xs 650 switches onto honda's but i can't find it anywhere. I have my harness pretty much straightened out but i am probaly going to need a new left side switch unit because there is something wrong with everyone i have.

looking great keep posting...bummer about the forks though

rustrocket92 · « **Reply #56 on:** July 23, 2009, 05:42:15 PM »

So i started checking out the harness and looks pretty good everything seems to be ok. When i hook a battery to it the headlight, horn, turns, and brake light all work. I have power everywhere i should.

It's starting to look like a motorcycle again. I can't wait to get the motor back in and get it all wired up.

I am waiting on looks of parts from BikeBandit, Partsnmore, and alreadt got my stuff from Z1 Enterprises. Hopefully it will be here before the weekend.

Rustrocket, what model/size tires do you have? Looks like they're Dunlops. I'm digging them, they look super aggresive

captaincrash80 · « **Reply #58 on:** July 24, 2009, 07:42:50 AM »

It's lookin slick man, can't wait for the finished product

rustrocket92 · « **Reply #59 on:** July 24, 2009, 11:38:54 AM »

Where did you get the grips? They look pretty sweet.

rustrocket92 · « **Reply #61 on:** July 27, 2009, 05:08:54 PM »

well I got the front forks back on complete with new seals , boots , and piston rings. I have to get some springs and fork oil. ANY OIL RECOMMENDATIONS ?

I am considering just installing the small dust boots and using the long ones for something else.

I also started working on my switch pod.

rustrocket92 · « **Reply #62 on:** July 31, 2009, 03:38:06 PM »

Switch pod is done and ready to be wired up. Hoping to get the motor back in this weekend.

rustrocket92 · « **Reply #63 on:** August 04, 2009, 05:22:10 PM »

Now we are getting somewhere.

This build is awesome. Just wanted to say.

rustrocket92 · « **Reply #65 on:** August 07, 2009, 09:33:41 AM »

Thanks bike! It is startin to come together.

ridgeline61 · « **Reply #66 on:** August 13, 2009, 06:41:52 PM »

Where did you secure that license plate bracket to?

BTW nice bike! Switch pod is killer!

rustrocket92 · « **Reply #67 on:** August 13, 2009, 07:21:36 PM »

I made the plate bracket out of a piece of pre-bent steel I had laying around the garage. It is mounted to the upper shock bolt and has a rubber bushing at the bottom to keep it from hitting the coil spring.

Spectacular job. Great attention to detail.. Man that's going to be a sweet ride when you are done.

bzr · « **Reply #71 on:** August 17, 2009, 11:26:27 PM »

I want a switch pod like that in my life.

GoatBaSS · « **Reply #72 on:** August 20, 2009, 05:25:36 AM »

That is a great vision and a pleasure to behold.

checkflag · « **Reply #73 on:** August 20, 2009, 06:38:29 PM »

Love the build.. looks great..
Excuse my being ignorant, but what is that switch pod for? it looks
so fighter jet cool!

rustrocket92 · « **Reply #74 on:** August 21, 2009, 09:24:40 AM »

Thanks checkflag. The switch pod is for the headlight and power to the coils.
