RESTORATION PICS

[SIMPLEXUSA]

3/19/2013   replace bearings in fork tube . 99cents per bearing. not even worth cleaning old bearings. I installed set screws in the forks and put stainless cap nuts on top. I like the look.

Dan, looking good.  You will be riding in no time.

I have been working on the bike. I pressed in new transmission bearings and have installed new belts. I also had a buddy make a new carriage bracket for the pully, as the old one was bent. I had all the parts powder coated. I then shimmed it all up and mounted it. waiting for more parts too arrive.

Very nice . Shiny , too .
I do like that powder coat finish .
Looks like your friend does nice work also .

Your engine looks great Dan!  Did the shims work out?

[pd]

Agreed , very nice .

Dan , Could you please post a pic looking directly into your motor intake ?

Looking at the last pic you posted , it looks like the throat is 'slotted' instead of through bored .

Thanks for the pic Dan .

Interesting ...

I'm learning something new everyday . I've seen the pre M rotory valve ( crank portion ) but hadn't noticed the slotted throat . Honestly ,  never thought it might be .
