Good, I will post on my thread later tonight so we don't hi-jack this one.

Ordered the engine internals: camshafts, clutch, kick starter block off, tach drive block off, valve springs/retainers, gaskets and SS case bolt kit.
Waiting on shipment to drop off the engine for machining/assembly.

Still waiting on cam shafts for the order toship

Ouch. Who did you purchase them from?

Schnitz racing

Parts mounted
Getting close now

Engine is almost done
Will have the better part of $3k into it or more
Bottom up build- all new everything

Going with mikuni carbs, pingel engine mount kit and exhaust TBD

Waiting on the engine now.
Sorting out the wiring harness to use the zx9 controls and key switch.
Sorting out the rear end yet; waiting on clevis mounts for the rear shocks and a few machined parts and a sprocket carrier bearing. Had a local shop make up some sleeves for the upper shock mount since our new shocks don't fit like stock. The sleeve fits great; squares everything up nicely. With the clevis using a 7mm bolt; we are either going to drill/tap the clevis for 10mm bolt or press out the old lower shock mount in the gs arm and put in a sleeve that fits a 7mm bolt.
Sorting out some minor things like tail light mounting, front signals, etc.
No new pics yet but i'll see if my dad can send me a few.
