It is not. Rod should be straight. I have seen this a lot on the 500s, a little bend gets worse and worse (when people start jamming on the...
I've seen the inner duct color matched, and it looked pretty damn good. Still obviously a duct, just more subdued.
I personally would loosen the lower triple clamp bolts and fender bolts (brace to forks) and make sure that the front end isn't "bound" or twisted...
Nice pics! What is the reasoning behind the rule regarding fairing lowers? The fairing mid sections will make it look a lot better. And looks...
Same boat here. Getting closer, almost ready to start it. Haven't even updated my build thread yet. 86 700. [ATTACH][ATTACH]
You have to replace all 4 of the intake boots before "diagnosing" anything else. Those are a real problem right now regardless of how much...
Sounds like you still have some dirty/plugged circuits in the carbs to me. Also, did you have to "adjust" the floats much. I rarely come across...
Bump to see if anyone has a 1000R rear caliper bracket handy they can measure the width of...
There is a idle drop procedure, but I run most of mine around 2 1/4. But it also depends if I have stock pilots or 1 size up like I usually...
Pretty sure I'm following this somewhere else, but can't find it now. Anyway, looking forward to progress. Good luck! This place is a gold mine...

TC... for personal clarification... An 86 cover will go on 87 without issues though?
Totally forgot about that damn spacer. I didnt put mine together without it, but i remember making a note of it when i took mine apart on how...
You can then hand crank the engine with the center bolt of the starter clutch and listen and watch for issues.
Pretty damn soggy and windy. We had a lull on Wed, so I got out on a bike that evening for a bit and met some friends down in Edmonds.
On that pin, it is always best to locate it on the engine side so you know the gear is indexed correctly and can't rotate out position during...
Your location is "PNW" and you mentioned storms and floods. Where do you live? I'm a little north of Seattle.
I personally think it's time to take the clutch cover back off and double check everything. Impact hard enough to bust cover could have affected...
"Out" is the easy part. Some careful and strategic prying with a hard wood handle of something, you can lever them right out after loosening all...
I remember seeing other picks of all that stuff, but I don't remember this one with them all piled together... Holy Mud! I see a shit load of...
