Project Frankenbike

[SlimKlim]

....We're on the upswing baby! I have officially hit the most rock-bottom diassembled part of the project and am now (ever so slightly) headed back the other direction. I've been working on the electronics and the other stuff all this past week, and today I tore down the motor and re-ringed the pistons. The tank and fender are primered and one color is on,they'll be finished this week sometime. :cheers:

I added a brake light for a little more visibility, and then made a vertical mount for the plate with some lighted tag bolts so I'm legal(ish). I need to pick up a rubber bushing to make it level.



I replaced the front brake reservoir hose with one from a GSX-R thats made to hold brake fluid.





I also put a stock rear brake reservoir back on, just because it makes me feel better, and upgraded the rear to a steel line. I added front turn signals. They may be small but man do they light up.



I set myself up a place to work and got the bike on jacks, so I could get into the nitty gritty.





Took off the valve cover, made my timing marks, took out the cams, undid the head bolts and had it and the jug out in fairly short order, probably took me 90 minutes, largely thanks to the Clymer.



....aaaaand re-ringed. It... so.... beautiful. Its a rite of passage to know what the inside of the vehicle you own looks like. 8)



Stay tuned for juicy pictures of a paint job and a reassembled motor!
