Today went as I expected it would. Actually better. I had already planned to deal with the disappointment of being told there wouldn't be any time for me today. That didn't happen. But things are behind schedule. But it's all good. The porting was not finished as I was told it was. It took the entire day to do what we did. I helped by cleaning parts and bead blasting. I rebuilt my front brake caliper and helped a bit with the porting. We got the engine assembled enough to put in the bike. One possibly very bad thing may have happened. I was tightening the bottom pinch nut on the right side and I heard that gut sickening soft crack sound that an engine case makes when you crack it. I think the bolt might have been too long and I drove it into the side of the bottom engine case. We are going to check that tomorrow. If so, then engine will need to come back out and that will have to be welded :? 
*sigh* I sure hope not.
Anyway, it was a good day and here are some more pics:
Arrived at Paparo's and already unstrapped. Need help getting it off the truck but no one is here :|
I must be early or something? Actually, this is in the afternoon and they are at lunch, I am the one that is early
Oh that is just beautiful
Let's have a closer look shall we?
Rough porting done, needs checked and then polished.
hmmm, kind of looks vulgar doesn't it? :lol:
Engine is in and bike is on lift. No worries, I am ordering new case cover emblems
It's up so high because we are done for the night and are actually rolling other bikes in under it.
Very tired I am, but a much happier man I be

Good for you.
After all that you have been through on this endeavor, it is a mighty fine milestone for you and her.
YOU ROCK MARK 8) 8) 8)

LOL!!! Only twisted minds buddy :lol:
I forgot to mention another small miracle. I wired the bike over the last two nights reconnecting everything according to what I thought I understood from the wiring diagram. I connected the battery and low and behold I got it all 100% in the first shot. Absolutely everything works. Headlight and high beam and high beam indicator, left and right and front and back turn signals, turn signal beeper, brake light for both from and back (I was worried about the front because when I put my new low profile levers on it didn't look good in there and I cleaned it a bit) and last but not the least, the horns!
Rock on!
So I guess you got the wiring harness problem down 8O 8) 8)

Well I do have one little piece of bad news. But Joe says it isn't a big deal.
When I commented in an earlier post about the crack sound while tightening the lower right pinch bolt, I was right about the sound. I know that sound. It was the sound of an aluminum engine case having a bolt driven iinto the side of it... "crack"
:x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x
The bolts were not stock but were longer because they held the back of the engine gaurds on. I forgot about that and had taken off the old gaurds because they were broken and I have several new ones. But I wasn't planing on putting them on yet so guess what. That's right, crack!
Joe said he can gas weld it and it isn't an issue at all. It's only a small crack and it didn't push through or anything. I am glad to hear that.
I have got to be smarter!

It actually isn't, if you read more of them you would see there are several way longer. But I am not done yet :lol:
If you read about halfway through you would see why.
But thx for the encouragement :twisted:

Apology excepted. When you post stuff like that without emoticons it makes people think you are flaming them.
Just add a smiley and people will know your poking them, we do it to each other all the time
And yes, this could possibly become the worlds longest rebuild! LOL
But I sure hope not 8O
