Wow! Good work.

More pics please of all the wonderful stuff you did.

 

Picture of the rebuilt swing arm.

 

Front forks mounted up, and I adapted the stock rotors and wheel. Had to mill off 7mm off the calipers mounting point to get them in the right spot on the smaller rotor. BTW they work great very happy with this bike.

 

The upper triple and stem transplant

 

There she is naked. That's when I found out that it has a shift kit,so glad I didn't buy one.

 

I am really happy with the way this bike rides now, it was so messed up before. Plus I know it better having it all naked and stuff. I did my first mileage check and it got 38.5 MPG I was shooting for better. I lowered the needles a half and it seams to run better. The kit I took out had 126 mains and I put in 128s but the needle profile is a lot different.

Nice work on the machine there sir.

On a seperate note, Is Thack your first name? I have a friend here in town that is also a Thack. Rare name.

 

Great pics.

Very poor mileage though. I averaqe 48-43mpg.

I did get around 38mpg once....but I was ripping it hard trying to reproduce a misfire I was hoping I had solved.

 

Nice work and upgrading. I average between 40-48 mpg, but I don't wring it out often. Keep up the great work!
