    Started on fashioning a tab for the broke side cover. Not the prettiest thing in the world but it will hang the cover on the bike. The pics show the plexiglass glued to the cover with the Devcon Plastic Welder, then the sharpie line for me to drill a series of holes and hog out a rough slot, then after some filing with a flat file. Still gotta shape it a little more but you get the idea.

    Also I have had these NOS stator and points covers wrapped in tissue paper for all of years waiting to be on this bike...Gonna look nice!!!

        Yes, but its all I have and its way better than whats there. Im also thinking about getting the allen head cover screw kits as well so its not gonna be a 100% technically correct deal. Wish they had done allens from the factory as these JIS screws suck.

              Those original engine cover badges don't look beyond restoration. You could also, (maybe) sand the new ones down to the silver underneath the gold with some 600 grit, re-spray the black, wipe off the letters again, viola..very close to original.

                Scratched all up Larry. I just came in from polishing the covers and installing the new cover emblems. Ordered new tank and frame cover badges last night.

                  I suggest reading the part numbers and buying the allen heads from boltdepot.com. Shipping is $5-8 but the bolts are 10 to 20 cents each.

                  Actually that alloyboltz price seems damn good.

                    Been feeeling under the weather since Saturday. Had to stop working on the bike about 2PM Saturday and go to sleep. Got a bit more done today so heres this weekends update. Added the following to the chassis

                    Front foot pegs
                    Rear master cylinder, and brake switch
                    Rear brake pedal pivot and the spring and pedal
                    Upper and lower brake lines
                    Cleaned out the passages in the rear brake caliper
                    Polished out the side covers best I could..not concourse but they will do
                    Put the rear exhaust hanger bolts in and tightened everything at the head
                    Put new intake manifold orings in and installed the manifolds
                    Set the front airbox piece in and mounted the carbs

                    Its getting closer and closer. Here are the side covers. Dont know what the specs are the camera picked up but i cant see them looking at them. May try a little more polishing compound???

                      Got out my set of rigged coils and started her tonight after double checking the new points were set very close. Fired up nicely and settled into a nice idle. I got the timing light out and began dynamic timing but shut it down as to not blister the paint. She is on the lift smoking from the paint getting heated up but that will end soon enough once its heat cured a few good cycles. Basically what i have is a set of coils of an old KZ650. I soldered a wire to each positive terminal and brought them together in male side bullet connector. The negative sides have the female ends.

                      I plug the wires off the points into the negative female ends and I have a wire with aligator clips on each end. Clip the wire to the make end that feeds the hot side of the coils and the other to the positive battery cable down by the selinoid. Short the selinoid terminals with a screw driver and shes alive. I will start it again in a hour or so and get it good and hot to bake the paint further and fiddle with the 2/3 point again because they are just a little off the "F" mark. 1/4 seems to be spot on.

                      Hopefully some pics and a video are forth coming...if I can link a video. But shes solid and sounds great.

                            Hot wires from the coils into the male end bullet connector. Alligator clamp taped to the hot sides.....



                            The other end of the hot wire is clipped to the battery POS lead at the selinoid..thus feeding 12 volts to the coils.



                            The leads from the points get plugged into the corresponding coils negative side. Short across the selinoid terminals and she is alive

                              Timings dead on and it starts super easily. Now to get the carbs synced. Least I can do that much with the rigged up set of coils giving her power.
