Should I polish them with rouge and a cloth wheel?

I've never heard anyone ask that question, but I'd lean towards NO, for the same reasons you wouldn't want to polish the roof of the combustion chamber.

Why wouldn't you want to polish the combustion camber, just out of curiosity?

Imo, and according to Hondaman, you do...the smoother tou get the combustion chamber and piston tops, less tooth for carbon to build up and no hot spots to cause detonation/pre-ignition

That's what I was thinking?!

i was under the impression(i dont know where from) that you polish the ports and the dome but only smooth the piston

Now on to the combustion chambers

Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning...

That gasket residue is not coming off it seems....is that normal?

Hitting the garage shortly....A few updates made during the week;

Honda Dream 305 Toyo mirrors test fit

New speedo bezel in the works

Cylinders honed. Pistons cleaned and ringed

Renthal ultra-low road bars installed. Bar clamp filed down to ensure a rock solid fit

Renthal Kevlar grips. Will have to get a shorter throttle sleeve

I hope to get the motor together this week. Can the neutral switch be removed when the engine is in the frame?

Looking good! I really dig those bars.

Couldn't you just cut a bit off the end of the stocker?

Love the bars!!!!!!

SKTP · « **Reply #262 on:** November 21, 2012, 07:21:11 PM »

Cut down the throttle sleeve and set up the controls. Mocked up the fender very loosely. Still so much to do, but I'm getting excited

This engine is going together finally....dropping in the donor tranny. It's confusing....I think I got it right?

Here's the visible issue with the old dogs (right? Those are dogs?)

Not confusing at all! :/

I have four manuals, but all tips welcome. I have a bearing in the freezer now (the lower case one) and I know that hole has to line up with that ring hole on the tranny spindle....but all tips and hints welcome

SKTP · « **Reply #264 on:** November 24, 2012, 03:08:30 PM »

Progress!

Never take this bearing out. It barely has a load on it (edit: maybe it does?) and it took me about an hour to pound it back in even after freezing it over night and leaving the lower case in the hit sun for hours...why did I remove it?

How do you remove the clutch basket? I'm guessing some weird Honda tool?

Have not assembled the shifter mechanism but I think I have all the main tranny parts in the right place...

Need to clean a bunch of internal parts. Man, the PO must have never changed the oil...I guess new clutch plates might be a good idea as they are dirty, dirty

scottly · « **Reply #265 on:** November 24, 2012, 03:50:56 PM »

That is a worn shift fork; the dogs are on the gears. Make sure the snap rings are properly installed. Read this:

Clutch basket just slides off...cleaned a bunch of internal parts today. Really happy with how it's going. Slow, but it's really cool to finally understand how all this stuff works...

Hopefully get the shifter together and working tonight. Going to order a new clutch and other bits this week

My friend made me an acrylic bezel to replace the pitted dented original. Turned out amazing

Your right, that is amazing.

Test fit....the going has been slow lately but this test fit is very motivating!

Note the Indy skateboard truck bushings for spacers!!!

SKTP · « **Reply #271 on:** January 03, 2013, 05:01:23 PM »

I think I figured out how the shift mechanism goes back together. Now I just need to figure out how to sync it to be in the right gear. It's just at a mock-up stage as it stands

Edit: is there only one way this can go interns of how it's rotated when initially installed?

SKTP · « **Reply #272 on:** January 06, 2013, 06:17:59 PM »

Crank shaft clean! Think I figured out the tranny, seems to shift through all the gears.

Ordered parts and won Triple A spaghetti pipes on eBay.

Need to research gasket sealer and get this thing together.

SKTP · « **Reply #273 on:** January 11, 2013, 10:33:02 AM »

Another good experience with Bikebandit.com

New airbox innards and fasteners; neutral switch and that "castle" clutch socket

hooray new parts!
