    My 77 750 Cafe finally sees a little road time..

    Cafe, Here's a pic of my rear hanger. I have the same problem as my bike has no rear footpeg mount. I just heated and bent a piece of 1" steel strip (Lowes) and then bent it accordingly. The black cap you see is the end of the lower peg hanger. I left enough of it in place to build a brace...

    Piston ring positions - How critical???

    That is my understanding as well. They're going to move, so the most important thing is to keep them spaced apart. I wouldn't go back and change what you've done.

    Smoothbore leaking issue

    All the parts in the carbs are new. . Pilots, Mains, float needle valve & needle are all Mikuni parts. New floats are from Z-1. All gaskets & O-rings are new as well. Sudco recommendation for VM29 carbs on this bike are 25 pilots & 115 main jets. That was way too rich and I also learned...

    Allright you Mikuni VM29 smoothbore gurus.... Here's two I can't figure out. Question #1 above the pic & question #2 is below the pic I have rebuilt these carbs & finally have them very, very close to being jetted correct. None of that is really the problem this time. They slowly leak fuel...

    1981 gs 550e, new style is born

    Nice ideas there.. My thoughts: ditto on moving the signals from the bars. Maybe a dual headlamp setup to fill up some of the space up there. Good work

    PO Damage/Missing VM Carb Parts

    on the VM26 the fuel adjust screw is the sharp one that is on the bottom of the carb, right? If so, I've got a couple I can send you. I'll check to make sure they aren't broken tomorrow. Let me know if you need them.

    7/10 Swap, Engine Mounting

    What does the other side look like? Maybe somethings bent, or all together wrong motor mounts for this swap. I thought a couple new mounts nee to be made for this swap? I'm interested in seeing what others thoughts are though because I'll be doing this swap down the road.

    750-1000 2 valve swap

    Josh, I have 83 1100E forks & tree on my bike. simple swap & I can give you the bearing sizes you need. I needed to grind off a bit of the steering stop on the lower tree. Other than that, it is straightforward.

    stupid me, cut new stator wires

    How much of the three wires is coming off the stator now? I'd say the safest thing to do would be to solder new wires on and then use heat shrink over the connection.
