Greg, are you missing a screw in the stator cover on purpose?

No just a senior moment.They are .006 on an inch Daniel,spec is.003

OK I actually LOOKED at BassCliff/Matchless's zip tie PDF instead of dithering at it.Looked easy enough,took a few tries but I got it though the plug hole on the outside cylinders no problem.The insides I think my tie was to shortThen I realised with no pipes I could put a tie though the ports.Feed the info through Steve's handy dandy spreadsheet(stopped dithering on that to) and I can transfer 1 of the 2.75 shims to make #1 good to go.Do need a 2.85 and 2 2.75 shims to be good.

Had a little mix up with the battery box http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum...d.php?t=188990 ,amazing how the right parts work better.

That only happens when one has more than one bike..... :-)

see I don't get into that kind of trouble.....I only have one, and I can't put other parts into it.....LOL

[Good Times]

Good work SV. Enjoying watching your thread. Can't wait to see the final product.

[SVSooke]

Yeah having other parts around has it's challenges occasionally GK.
Thanks GT enjoying watching your thread to.

Got the triples in.Need new bearings

Shocks are in with 750 head nuts.Where are those chrome acorns?And the Suzi lower bolt?Had to borrow one from the Honda

Bottoned up the engine.Got shims from Rob today.All the valves are now .003 of an inch,loose side of spec.Did a recheck making sure the adjacent valve was not in compression of it's valve.

Got all the old bearings and head races out.Was going to start a new thread but did a search instead.Found a few answers.Mig welding the head races was out.With the engine in I'm not taking the frame to work.So I dremaled though the races and bashed them out.A bit crude but it got the job done.

Check Ebay. IIRCI got the last set(All Balls) for the 78 for about 30 bux.

Wow Greg, you have been a busy beaver, she is coming along nicely, and looking really good as well, another BOM...perhaps
That stainless fastener kit really sets the motor off nicely.
Crude is mine, it belongs to me, I removed my steering head bearings before I had a Dremel, real caveman style, but I had no option but to get a Dremel to remove the swing arm bearings, felt high tech compared to bludgeoning them out.

I got new bearings from a local bearing supply house here, was able to walk in and walk out with them, no waiting for delivery, it was great, cost me about 85 bucks or so for the two new bearings, I reused the old cover on the bottom bearing, dust boot or what ever it's called
