Just nice to give you a gentle push D L  ;D Nice work!
All of us using hours and hours on our old beauties, are somewhat retarded I suppose... When people ask why i bother standing in a cold garage rebuilding an old bike instead of just buing a new one, I just tell them to go home and watch a tv..... They would never understand.... :)

Any new developments?  Or did the build stall out?

I'm just about to ship my heads to ben fox or ducshop for guides and a valve job. I would have today, but wasn't going to pay UPS $60 for ground shipping.  [thumbsdown]

Did Fox do your flywheel, and did you have a chance to weigh the difference between the stock oil pump and the sbk one?

chad @ commonwealth cut my flywheel down. i have not weighted the oil pumps.

i talked to mark at ducshop today and the stage 3 heads are sounding pretty nice. i may just send him the heads and decide when they get there.

I talked to mark @ ducshop today more about the work. I'm just waiting for an email for the total price to I can send him my deposit. After all my work on porting and polishing, the price for the stage 3 heads isn't much more than having valve guides and valve job with stock valves.

Going back to page 3 of the build, I ended up ordering the 32D fcr spigots. They should fit the intake manifolds better. Darn things are almost $65 each.

The aluminum ss swing arm weights 8.2lbs bare, and my 888 swingarm is steel. I'll weight it when I get home. Then I'll do combined weight of the suspension parts again for each set up.

Just noticed this, I didn't know you had an 888 swingarm. Do you happen to have the alloy 888 shock "turn buckle"? Would fekn love that unit for my build...

I was just calling the early monster swingarm the 851/888 style. With the suspension arch.

would it be hard to have one made? Doesn't look all that complex.

Too complex for me to draw up...I can barely draw a square in CAD software, lol. And I've never had any luck finding machinists who wanna dick around with my little bike part obsessions (or tattoo machine frames for that matter)
