The Shop
1) Ordered an APT SmartCarb
2) Seat foam that was on the bike was terrible (imagine that), so I ordered new seat foam from MotoSeat
3) Found out that Talon Carbon front hubs do not take the same bearings as a standard Talon front hub.....patiently waiting on the correct ones to arrive
4) Ordered the remaining plastics for it (side number plates and shrouds)
5) Received the new spokes, nipples, and spacers....now just waiting on the rims to show up so I can build the wheelset (on order, just waiting)
6) Thought I found a great deal on a Hinson Inner Hub to complete my clutch system (already have a Hinson basket and Hinson pressure plate). Purchased an almost new one off eBay from a TRX450 (quadzilla haha), after looking on Hinson's site I found out that the TRX 450, CRF 450, and CR 250 all use the same hub......well I received it and it wasn't what it was suppose to be. SO, I shipped that back and now looking for another Hinson Inner Hub.....
7) Took APBT's advice and ordered the new $6 servo motor off eBay rather than spending the $170 on an entire new Honda OEM servo motor assembly. Suppose to be getting the new servo motor today in the mail and hope to get all that back together soon.
I either HAVE or HAVE ON ORDER everything needed to complete this project with the exception of anything/everything braking related (oh yeah, and that inner hub). I have the master cylinders (front and rear) torn apart and cleaned, now I just need to order the re-build kits for them. Next would be figuring out what I want to do about the calipers (front and rear), as the ones that came on the bike are pretty nasty (the pistons literally have rust on them)...I think I might search out some newer CRF ones on eBay...anyone know if '09+ calipers will mount up to this bike without problems? Updates with pictures hopefully in the coming week or two.
Thanks for looking,
Blake
I ride alot of D17 tracks so I'm hoping to see you out with this bike this year!! Awesome build man
Old servo motor on the left, new one on the right....would you say it was time to be replaced haha
What the inside of the servo motor housing looks like
I am going to re-use the wiring harness I have, just took all the old nasty tape off and re-wrapped everything. This is the pile of tape that came off...there was A LOT!
A couple before and after pics of some brake components (after I cleaned them)....all the re-build components should be in this week
Couldn't help but share 1 fun pic haha
Parts involved to re-build front master cylinder
Never knew this, but there is a small C-Clip below that clear bubble piece....
Parts involved to re-build rear master cylinder
Rear master cylinder all bolted up (used Fasst Co rear brake clevis and rear brake return spring kit)
Got everything to assemble the wheels (they are now at Hall's Cycles getting true'd and new rubber put on)
Finally got the little servo motor gear from Shanghai. I had ruined the original gear trying to get it off the original servo motor. After TONS of searching online, this gear was what I THOUGHT was going to be the closest thing available....turns out it worked perfect! So with the new $7 servo motor and $2 gear working as they should, I saved myself from having to buy the entire new $175 OEM servo motor assembly! The new gear wasn't the same length, but found out that doesn't matter as long as you press it on the correct distance. Also, I put a little extra sealant around that O-Ring in the 3rd picture to help keep weather/water out and prevent a rusted servo motor again.
Servo motor was this:

Gear was this (took about 3 weeks for delivery):

Received my new seat foam from MotoSeat (had received my MotoSeat seat cover a while back). The bike previously had a very old/worn out (imagine that) SDG seat, I'm used the old seat base and combined it with the new MS foam and cover
Old seat foam
New seat foam with beginning of seat cover install
Finished product....MotoSeat seat cover and MotoSeat seat foam!
Randomly decided to clean up the fuel tank and take the petcock off. I shouldn't be surprised, but lets just say I'm glad I decided to take a look!
Got my graphics in the mail from 180 Decals.....SO sick!
Got my wheels back from Hall's Cycles...all true'd up and fresh rubber (just as a side note, I decided to use the Motion Pro "lite" rim locks....hopefully they work well haha)
And finally.........made some progress on the bike!!!
Jhansen's right. I want a 2st again!
Pit Row
Got a 280mm front rotor and the rear rotor installed
Got the petcock all cleaned up and put back together....with Ti pieces of course haha
Got a new OEM kill with...the old just didn't look so good, imagine that
Made a little aluminum adapter bracket in for the newer CRF style plate...turned out OK
Just doing a little maintenance
