Loaded car with stuff.

Top end for tuning, mild steel bits to blast / coat and wheels to get rebuilt. Going to get the steering lock cut out and the hole plated over, more weight saving. Barrels getting a "fast road" tune to keep some semblance of rideability and reliability, I can define a lot of the engine characteristics with the electronics anyway. ____________________ Be a REAL MAN! |

AS pepperami says, some top work there!
A quick question regarding the very shiny wheel hubs, (which I assuming have been polished), have they been lacquered and, if not, how do you keep 'em shiny?
I'm assuming elbow grease, patience and Autosol! ____________________ "Everybody needs money, that's why they call it money!" |

Cool, no alloy fur for you then!
I had a few spare hubs when I was doing my resto, I polished one and left it to see what would happen, it dulled after a few weeks in the cellar, so I painted the ones I put on the bike.
Keep up the good work, looking forward to the finished product, nothing better than a good rebuild, especially on a bike that's going to get used, rather than become a museum piece! ____________________ "Everybody needs money, that's why they call it money!" |

Spent a few hours at work today making some of the fiddly bits I need to hand when I start bolting the thing together.
Things like the new battery / electrics box, coil mount etc I want sorted out now so I've been spending alot of time thinking everything through and doing fag packet drawings to work out roughly how to do it.
Anyway I was pretty confident with how i was going to do most of these things so decided to move onto CAD/CAM and get some metal / plastic cut...

Then fire up water jet -

The purpose of these bits will make more sense when I start recording the assembly process, but basically the round bits are to adapt the remians of the original clock bracket to take the small aftermarket speedo and electronic tacho i intend to use. The nylon part is the lid for the 100mm3 galvanised box which will house the 1.2ah house alarm battery, Zeeltronic ignition and the reg / reg (on the bottom), and the Z shaped lump of stainless will form the battery clamp. Just need a hole saw and some grommets as I want to take the ignition wiring and USB takeoff through the bottom of the box. ____________________ Be a REAL MAN! |

No real visible progress in a while, mainly been perfecting the battery box arrangment and painting odd bits and bobs. Real impetus now is to get the thing together as a rolling chassis as i'm sick of tripping over the frame and swingarm!
Mudguard is a new (pattern) jobbie, undersealed as my usual practice, chain guard, shocks and indicator rail are the original's attacked with Autosol. Not perfect but shiny enough. The eagle eyed among you will also spot i've junked the hateful UK spec rear light in favour of the much better looking US type.

The engine is still in limbo, i had intended to O-ring the heads but the plug holes are not in the centreline of the combustion chambers so it wasn't that easy. Currently state of play is that the barrels have been machined flush to eliminate the standard copper ring and use RD400 head gaskets. The squish can then be set by base gaskets or further milling. The plan is to get squish sorted and static timing marks sorted before the engine goes back in the frame. ____________________ Be a REAL MAN! |

That's one very neat bit of engineering and fabrication to hold all your electrics and a very nicely routed and secured loom too Impressive!
I soldered on two new battery terminals on my KMX over the weekend, and despite using heat shrink, Ive made a right dogs dinner out of it. Thankfully the Motobatt battery I'm using has multiple options for mounting the terminals.
Have you got much more to do now to get it running for a set up? I can't remember if you went for new carbs in the end or was it TZR carbs you fitted?
I'm still waiting for a new pipe, can't see me being back on the dyno before at least the end of May at this rate?
The next classic bike I rebuild will be completely std, as I might even get some use out of one then? |

Redirected my attention to the wiring. I have quite a bit of work ahead with building a new sub loom for the new generator and CDI as well as other functions that Yamaha never thought of at the time (Electronic tacho, shift light, map switch etc). As i'm not using the original generator the standard wiring loom has quite a few surplus circuits. Originally my intention was to just chop off the spurs I didn't need and tape up the loom but my mate said that was a bodge and I needed to cut the loom open and physically remove the surplus wires.

Using a sharp modelling knife I began removing the 40+ year old loom tape, messy job! I wanted to remove the spurs that went to original generator (except the neutral circuit), original reg / rec unit and also the left and right contact breaker feeds. Actually removing the old tape was the hard bit, once the loom was open a few snips wand the offending wires were consigned to the spares box. I then retaped the area I had cut open and tested all the circuits with a multimeter to make sure i hadn't caused any other issues.

Job done! Just the remains of the old tape to hoover up... ____________________ Be a REAL MAN! |
