Got the engine back from DC tonight after installing the clutch from my engine, and a few other parts as well. The decompression set up should be all set as well I might even have it running by the end of the weekend

[tanks350x]

I did some work on the X tonight I have the engine all mounted up The stainless bolt kit I bought is very nice but, there are some issues with the motor mount bag... It doesn't come with the long bolt that supports the 2 aluminum spacers. Don't get me wrong, the kit is great, and I highly recomend it I would have gotten alot more done but, I'm finally getting some descent OT again at work. I'm on vacation this coming week so, I'll on it then
Here are a few pics of the engine installed



As I'm looking at these pics. I think to myself, Damn! I should've put some rattlecan on it but, oh well

And looking at my seat, I'm deffinately going to have to get another seat cover



maybe I'll try to clean it up some tomorrow

[tanks350x]

Tomorrow, I'll get the skid plates all mounted up, and install the chain, and swap the front sprockets

I didn't get that bolt you mentioned with my kit either Roy. there isn't any footpeg bolts either. but I would use the stockers in those places anyway.

What do you think of that decal kit you got off ebay. those decals from that seller are THICK!

Lookin good!

This particular sticker kit that I got is pretty much to factory specs. The 2 big rear fender stickers are identical to the ones that I got from honda, which i payed $50 for the pair, and this kit only cost me $42

Coming along nicely.

Maybe some real hot water and Wisk on the motor to clean it up.

I'm jealous!

Quite frankly edog, I'm suprised you didn't do it before you sold it to me

I used some lysol cleaner which is almost like windex, and a coffee pot brush.. It came out pretty good! I'll post some pics. in a few hours.. It's getting there

[tanks350x]

I worked on this thing for quite a while tonight.. Here are my latest progress pics.





If it seems like I'm taking doubles, sorry. I'm psyched on how this thing is coming out

[tanks350x]

The only thing that I had real issues with was the exhaust. The DG pipe that I run is a little sloppy at the end where it meets the header. So I have to use an automotive exhaust clamp to close up the gap. So when it came time to mount up the pipe, it was really tight.. I tried beating the snot out of it and nothing all while trying not to chip the powder coating.. I gave up and took it off, I figured I'd bring it to a local muffler shop and have them spread it out some.. In the meantime, my landlord comes home, and I tell him about it.. He brings it into his garage and puts a socket on the inside of the pipe and starts beating the pee out of it,, Well that worked like a charm, and the pipe slid on like butter

Here is the new switches as well

[tanks350x]

I think I spent more time cleaning the parts from my original bike to put on this one



Goat was right, I'm looking at this thing all giddy

Here you go DC, and deepa you guys were right!!

I tell ya what DC can lay some powder

Grab bar installed


Sometime later this morning, I'll put the gas tank on, and work on the headlights
