BUILDING AN I.C.B.M. KATANA 1100

[katman]

the other nice feature is being able to check and change clutch plates without draining any oil. It also has a rubber re-usable seal. cheaper than having to change the paper gasket which I always have trouble with leaks.

None of this is reasonable for buying it for the street. But the kool factor is big and I love as many s/s hex bolts as I can get.

It was a stupid purchase. A Christmas gift I guess.

Whoa! How is that accomplished? You can take that thing off and remove/replace plates without draining the oil!? That is way kool!

Why so if it is as kool as described above?

iF you look close Hoomgar you will see the inner circle is bolted on and is removable while leaving the outer in place. The inner is above the oil level.

Oh man! I missed that! That totally rocks. And then being sealed with an o-ring, man

So now I can see it's allure for sure.

I used to just lean my bike handlebars against the garage wall with the bike in gear and the wheels chokked with 2x4s to prevent rolling.

The oil would go to the other side of the engine so it wouldn't flow out when I did clutch spring work.

But hey, no cool factor. - Dieter

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

The YOSH STAGE II cams I bought are for a 2v 1100 and don't fit. I cannot believe the problems I am having getting this motor buttoned up.

I ordered some WEBCAMS from APE today and they are out of stock so have to wait till WEB sends them some. There is no hurry to get this done now it is winter but I am really buggin to see that hole filled in my frame.

I am going to pick up the motor tomorrow to fit it into the frame and finish some odds and ends. Then I will take her back to have the cams installed and degreed when they arrive.

So I will have an oppertunity to post a couple of pics with the motor in place.....I can't believe it. it is so close to being done I can taste it.

Argh!!!! I feel your pain brother. Seems these things just are not designed to come together quickly.

How is it that they build entire bikes on the biker build offs in 7 days but it takes us over a year to assemble a Jap bike that was made by the thousands? Something is wrong :?

It will come together for you man. As I keep being told, "good things come to those who wait" I know your turn is coming. You've certainly paid your dues.

[katman]

Cams will be in next week. You get an idea of where it's going. Man it is nice to see it together. Few odds and ends and she will be ready for fire.
