So for one week now Ive been disassembling my project bike. We got the motor pulled, top end disassembled, bead blasted the cylinders, started polishing tappet covers, clutch pulled, and alternator pulled. Next up motor wise is to crack the crankcase to access the crankshaft for rephase, and check bearings. This motor will be fully rebuilt so I know it will last for many years to come. Framewise, I fabricated a motor mount brace so that the backbone and bottom rails could be chopped. However, Im now thinking of building a new backbone, so the brace may be obsolete.
Big thanks to Bubba Ward and Rattpiss officionados for the help and letting me use his shop and tools!
Bubba hooked me up with this front end of unknown origin (he thinks its off a honda or yamaha). Either way it fits perfect, is much cleaner and shorter than the original forks.
