6/20/16:
Started tearing into the project again- Literally!
Tracing wires to find out why the starter button won't work.


Anti-Dive has to go! Take all the useless hoses, lines, etc.




Cap it off with a silicone filled bottle cap!







 


New Front End after rebuild. Went through it top to bottom.
New brakes, seals, front headlight with custom fabbed stay.
Used the Ol'Dependable "cafe" headlight ears from the interweb.
Cut-up re-fabbed Speedo/Tach bracket and re-located .
SS Front lines and an overall wiring harness cleanup and re-route.



 Fitted a remore reservoir M.Cyl. This one's off a '04 ZX10. It stops just OK.
Not a tight lever, and full stop at 3/4 lever.
Fabbed a standoff outta 1/4" rod, bracketed and tigged.
Yes, that's a mini-reservoir, available online.
chinese made, but no leakee!


Carbs- Bane of my existance! These Mikuni BS 34's were the snot and
grit filled jobs that came with the bike. After about 2-days of cleaning, they
amazingly came out ok for use.
Set them up with baseline 130 Mains, 37.5 base bleed pilots, and needles at halfway.
(Little did I know that I would have to remove and reinstall them 5 times for re-jetting!)



What to do with this needless and heavy tail section?


Hack it off, of course!  STAY TUNED, MORE TO FOLLOW...................
