Man I love this thread. :)

OMR, you do amazing work and I'm really liking your vision for the bike, your patience and your attention to detail. Even though I want to see the end result, I'm really enjoying the progress updates. Keep them coming.

LOL, that about sums it up PLUMMEN. Homer always has a way of summing things up in a single action or word.

As some of you may have followed an other posting in the chassis section, I finally obtained all my lower end parts so here's an update on the lower case replacement and build out.

Replaced cases w/main crank cap.
New APE Heavy duty cylinder studs.
Replaced shift drum, shift forks, shift spring and mechanism and all oil seals and gaskets.

I also used stainless steel allen head bolts (kit form Z1) versus those stripped out philip head bolts.

Ok, just a quick update...

New case, cylinder studs, shift drum and forks, seals, gaskets, timing chain, black chrome stainless steel brake lines, calipers rebuilt, 630 chain installed with 13.5mm offset counter sprocket, electrical tray...

NOTE: the 13.5mm was perfect!. It left ~ 1/8" of clearance to the frame tubing. See exploded view, middle image enclosed in RED...

This coming week, get the cylinder on with the continued timing components when applicable.
