Got the old cams & bearings out, new ones in. Not too bad. Now the adjustable pushrods....those were a PITA for me! Tomorrow I need to clean off all of the oil, put on the exhaust and fire it up!

 

Done. The Thunderheader paint is as cheap as everyone says. The cams give a little lope to it, the idle is quieter but its louder when you give it some gas. The power increase is surprising!!!

 

Here's a few in progress for you


This was the point of no return, fix it or tow it!!!

New skin

 

Got new tail and head lights installed, krator fairing, curved license plate mount, and Bassani RR exhaust done yesterday. I got the RR2 with short muffler and it seems to be too close to my rear shock and the mounting bracket seems like it's going to run on the swingarm. Thinking a few washers will help with the clearance? Will post pics once I take them with the bike in the sun. Finished last night.

 

I posted without reading...which is my pet peeve. Please ignore me.

 

Yesterday, I had 2 spare hours...FINALLY started the fork rebuild I've been posting about since last summer.

 

Went out for a quick ride to feel her out. Wow does that fairing help and the exhaust sounds SO MUCH BETTER than the shortshots. Not to mention the improvement in torque.

Pics as promised.

 

Got rid of the dumb cowbell. Also routed the cables for a USB charger and the Powervision under the tank

 

I managed to get this done last night. Gave her a good wash in the kitchen sink then sat down on the living room floor to swap bolts with ARPs and install the right-side rotor. My wife is the best!
