    Still waiting on the little rubber cushion so I can put the clutch on so I can put the side covers on so I can squirt oil on the crank so I can put the pistons in.

      Got my little rubber thingy installed. I had to modify the case a little to give the clutch basket some more room.






      Pistons installed tomorrow! bought some cams and they should be here this week. I'll get those in and get them degreed. Then the motor will be pretty much all put back together. Next on the list will be rebuilding the VM29's and getting the old motor out of the frame, and get the frame ready for the bracing mods.....

        Oil feed?

        Nice pics of the clutch assy. That release rack sure looks like it has a hole through it's centre for oil feed!!

          Now, keep in mind im still soaking up all the knowlege of these motors before you shred me here, but with those mods, and since you had the cases split, would it have been that much more expensive or completely unnecessary to have the tranny back-cut? I dont suppose you plan on doing a bunch of holeshots with this thing, but wouldnt it help the tranny in the long run or make it more clunky for every day ridding?? Just curious and wanting to absorb knowlege. I plan on ripping apart a couple 750 motors this winter, a 16v and an 8v.

            It's drilled like that on both sides, but the holes are only about 4mm deep.

              I debated whether to get the undercut gears and decided not to. They already are undercut to a degree. The 1000 tranny is strong and smooth. Unless you plan on romping on it 24/7, from what I've read, it's tough enough to handle anything else.

                Cool, was just more curious for my own knowlege, not questioning your tactics at all. I am not all that up on the understanding of the tranny itself. Topend, gotcha all day, but Ive yet to peel one apart and see how the gears are set up and what not. Were you to do it, would you want the dogs undercut or the gears or both? As was explained to me, the biggest problem run into is the gear dogs themselves rather than the actual gears, so THEY would be undercut so that they meshed more precisesly the harder they were used. Again, i dunno bout this stuff so im trying to learn BTW, I will be watching this threat intently, as if your other beautiful machines are any indicator, this will be one awesome project to behold. Please supply with pics and explainations as frequently as possible!

                  Here's some info on undercutting from APE:



                  Honestly, I don't see much difference from their pic to mine. They must cut a steeper angle when they undercut, but you can see that the dogs on mine are already cut at an angle.

                    I'll be taking pics and posting through the whole process. This thread might drag out a bit, as I will be picking away at it probably all winter. I hope to have this bike done for spring. If I keep plugging away, I should make it. Still a few parts to obtain, but I pretty much have everything I need. I just need to do the labor.

                      She going to be fast AND pretty!




                      One more cover to paint.

                      Still no pistons installed yet. I decided to get a new cam chain guide and a manual tensioner. Once I have them I'll get 'er done.

                      The VM29's are going into the dip this weekend.

                            What about the frame bracing??? That's what I'm waiting for. Wanna see what goes down so I can get some ideas for my 1000. Not looking to go too crazy, just add a little more meat in the places that need it. Any info on this? I have a bunch of steel plate left over from my trailer build. Was thinking of using that too.

                                More delays. The cam chain guide I bought is wrong. Tried to save a few bucks, but to no avail. The one I bought is on the bottom, top one is stock...




                                Here's what I bought. Don't do it!!
