Although I havent been posting, I have been gathering parts here and there for the old gal (more on that later), so tonight (despite the heat), I finally did what I've been putting off for ages, and got the cases back together.
First of I did a dry run to check it all fits correctly.
https://i314.photobucket.com/albums/ll431/grahamdrry/CD175/IMAG0967.jpg
All looks like it fits where it touches, which cant be bad. Next I liberally ran assembly lube over every moving part.
https://i314.photobucket.com/albums/ll431/grahamdrry/CD175/IMAG0969.jpg
Time for the real coming together, and copious amounts of Hylomar Blue , before putting all those differnt length bolts back in place.
https://i314.photobucket.com/albums/ll431/grahamdrry/CD175/IMAG0970.jpg
Gently pulled up all the bolts in diagonal order (both 10 and 12mm bolts), till the cases were sealed, then wiped off the spare Hylomar where it had squeezed out.

Now to leave her to set overnight.
My orignal fork shrouds and headlamp holders were rusted and cracked to buggery, so I've managed to get some odd replacements (the blue ones are NOS I managed to get as the very last stock from David Silver, shame he didnt have left and right, but hey ones better than none).
https://i314.photobucket.com/albums/ll431/grahamdrry/CD175/IMAG0972.jpg
Whilst painting my other projects over the last few months I've become very dissatisfied at the off the shelf rattle cans (Halfrauds Acrylic based), they just don't seem up to the job, no matter how many coats of primer/top coat/clear laquear I've used they still scratch if you so much as fart near them, crazy thing is I have several air spray guns (HVLP) I have purchased over the years to use with other hobbies, and have never used them! So rather than go down the 2k (two part) paint route with all the crazy safety problems involved with air fed masks etc, I'm going to go down the epoxy route (more to follow). So thats the next step on the frame/build to have a play with the fork shrouds and see how I get on. |
wish my tool chest was that shiney can i have your postcode please so i can sneakily swap it?ill even leave the can of enamel for you ____________________ red bull gives you wing sting!!!

If you remember I found out my clutch basket was damaged, so today I swapped over the oil pump piston onto the replacement basket (added some assembly lube for good measure along the way)
https://i314.photobucket.com/albums/ll431/grahamdrry/CD175/IMAG0979.jpg
Basket installed and oil pump tested (well at least that the piston goes in and out ok) see arrow
https://i314.photobucket.com/albums/ll431/grahamdrry/CD175/IMAG0980.jpg
FYI there are two types of clutch basket fitted to the CD175 (ditto cb and cb200), identified by there either being one or two gears. Getting a replacment with a single ring is ok, IF you can get a single output gear, like hens teath though, so yes I made that mistake, first replacment I got was, yes a single gear, and NO I could not find a single gear any where, ho hum. Luckilly I found the correct twin geared version shortly after I got the first (sods law), and thats the one going in.
https://i314.photobucket.com/albums/ll431/grahamdrry/CD175/IMAG0982.jpg
Not forgeting to bend over the securing tabs over the pump bolts, overwise a nasty accident could be waiting....
https://i314.photobucket.com/albums/ll431/grahamdrry/CD175/IMAG0981.jpg
Drive pulley and oil filter tested in situ
https://i314.photobucket.com/albums/ll431/grahamdrry/CD175/IMAG0983.jpg
And in with the clutch plates (best part is I have 15 to measure and use the best off, lol).
https://i314.photobucket.com/albums/ll431/grahamdrry/CD175/IMAG0984.jpg
finaly the clutch spring cover

Need some help if anyone can ?
https://i314.photobucket.com/albums/ll431/grahamdrry/CD175/snapcl.jpg
I've discovered the bit the clutch cable goes into where it passes into the engine was missing, I've checked my spare engine and it also doesnt have one. The part number is 22875-216-000 and David Silver lists it as JOINT, WIRE !D , unfortunetly neither DS or CMSL have stock (I gather its the same part on CB125S, CL175, CB160, CB175, CD175 and CB200's). I found one on ebay.com but the guy is not accepting emails/messages so I cant find out how much and even if he will ship to the UK. He has it listed for $25, another google site also in the USA quotes $5, but again no shipping details.
I know its a long shot but if anyone can thing of where I can find one? ____________________ XV1100, XV750

Meanwhile since theres no wind today and the suns shining, time to play with paint
Rubbed down and filled (two were new, two were old and beaten up) the fork covers and headlamp holders (Ears).
https://i314.photobucket.com/albums/ll431/grahamdrry/CD175/IMAG0996-1.jpg
Then primed (I tried hanging them up, but to be honest it was a nightmare, the HVLP gun, although low preasure was enough to blow them back and forth).
https://i314.photobucket.com/albums/ll431/grahamdrry/CD175/IMAG0997.jpg
Finally despite the heat (well you put a boiler suit on over your jeans etc on a day when the temp is so high in direct sun light), and near suffocation from the face mask and goggles (safety first), I attempted my first mix/spray of 2K (2 part) paint.
https://i314.photobucket.com/albums/ll431/grahamdrry/CD175/IMAG1017.jpg
I wish the camera did it justice, but boy do they shine like new, much better than acrylic paint, and being 2k it doesnt need a clearcoat or laquer over the top, however I noticed now they are dry a few odd places I've missed so no problem, I will give them another blast later. But all in all, very impressed and happy with the finish.
I will take some better pics later outside so you can see the deep glossy shine. ____________________ XV1100, XV750

I called a friend of mine who runs a motorcycle engineering works, and asked about borrowing (or taking the engine to him) a chain riveter, he chuckled and told me they tend to brake. Instead he explained that most deallers (I confirmed this with a call to another guy I know), use a large hammer on the back of the link (held tight against), and using a small panel hammer (the small one you tend to use to hammer in small panel pins), you tap, tap, tap till you have burred over the pins, sure enough looking at the chain all the existing links are burred over, not riveted as such. So armed with a largish hammer and a small panel hammer I gently tapped away for a few minutes till the pins looked like the other links, I guess they make the pins softish for this reason, they burred over very easilly. The picture was taken looking through a magnifying glass so you can see the burring on the link and exisiting links.

Onwards ?
Now time to do the headlamp shell (Fglass), I lightly rubbed it down with some fine emery (the sort you get on a thin sponge) all over, then applied the first coat of primer to show up any blemishes.
https://i314.photobucket.com/albums/ll431/grahamdrry/CD175/IMAG1022.jpg
This showed up some hairline cracks/splits that I further rubbed down and filled with epoxy and knifing stopper (crack filler), re-primmed and again rubbed down.
https://i314.photobucket.com/albums/ll431/grahamdrry/CD175/IMAG1023.jpg
Now I'm ready to mix my 2-part paint (funny takes me longer to suit up put on my mask etc than it does to paint the part!), this time I stripped off (not a pretty sight), and put the cover-all suit on with no jeans/t-shirt, MUCH BETTER.
And here we are
https://i314.photobucket.com/albums/ll431/grahamdrry/CD175/IMAG1024.jpg
I have to say I'm very, VERY happy with the luster/shine that this paint produces (this is after 1hr in the conservatory (full sun) with the doors shut to get the temp up, just to speed up the drying. (now dry).
https://i314.photobucket.com/albums/ll431/grahamdrry/CD175/IMAG1026.jpg
Without blowing my own trumpet, I think I've got this paint worried, I might know what I'm doing!! ____________________ XV1100, XV750
