Hey Scott - The 810 should (hopefully) be put together next week. I am just waiting on one more major component to come in.
I'll be putting the bottom end back in the frame this weekend, slipping on the jugs, the top end then claying the pistons for proper clearance. I just received a missing electonic ignition rotor from Dyna in California, a $20 part but with shipping and the $$$ exchange rate it set me back nearly $75. You wanna play, y'a gotta pay!
I picked up another body work set (thanks shoeman) with original '77 Moon Dust Silver. It was in pretty decent shape for its age but considering the level of perfection I have put into everything else on the bike, I have decided to color match and reshoot the parts. In the meantime I will use the red/silver and gold set from last year which is in mint condition.
I am looking forward to breaking in the bike...hard:)
I'll give an update on the power bump from the Wiseco 700 to the 810 kit when I have a chance to find a deserted, smooth strip of blacktop in my town and at that time I might write a little paper on the complete project for the resources page.
Cheers-Colin Firth
Shipping can sure be a pain in the arse, I paid 50$ US for the wheel, and 50$ US to get it here, worth it tho, I have heard new ones go for around 550$ US
Looking forward to hearing about the power increase, good luck with the rebuild.
Oh, and to get off topic even more:silly:, What are you running for jets in the 28mms?
