Start with the only bad thing I came across while inspecting/cleaning the frame, a crack at the sub-frame mounting location. It's not cracked all the way through (meaning down to the thru hole), it's just surface at the moment. Taking to a shop on Monday to get that squared away...will be like new again
Spent most of my time over the past several night simply cleaning/degreasing/etc. some aluminum parts. I tried taking some parts to a semi-truck wash to have them spray some aluminum cleaner on it....that did NOTHING....so I was able to get ahold of some more serious cleaner from a local trucking company. Some things I did was sand blasting, wire brushing, and/or a sulfuric/hydrflouric acid wash....I think things are turning out well
Got the motor up on the bench and am going to start on that hopefully today. I was able to pull the head off to at least see what it looked like and I'm pretty pleased....he said it didn't have much time on a new top end/crank and it looks like that might have been the truth. Taking the lower end to my local shop (Hall's Cycles....THE BEST) this coming week and have them go through the bottom end...I just don't trust myself haha.
Can't forget the rust haha
More updates over the weekend once I get the cylinder off. Here's to hoping for good sights!
Took piston out (a Wossner) and it actually looks pretty good....think I might put it back in....what do you guys think?
Supposedly had a new rod put in it very recently and I think that may be the case....looks fresh and feel solid
Gonna need some help here. I was told the motor was stock when I purchased it but come to find out, it looks like things have been massaged a little. The only identification mark I can find is what looks to be BK102.....any ideas or thoughts as to who's mark that is?
Of course, exhaust pieces were COVERED and looked terrible. Spent some time cleaning them all up, they turned out a lot better!
Pulled the ignition cover and everything looked super clean and fresh, I was pleasantly surprised. I was told it had a flywheel weight and it sure did....any trick to getting this thing off?
That's probably it for a while from me. I am getting that hairline crack fixed on Monday and have the lower end gone through later in the week, I hope to have some more progress pick by next week. Thanks for looking and please comment with any advice you might have.
Thanks,

G2 Throttle System....have used these on many of my past bikes and love the options of throttle control it gives you.
Some of the carbon pieces from Lightspeed.....why do I love carbon SO much haha
LoudMouth Intake system. I've read where people complain about the seal around the air box, well this system take care of that PLUS is going to make changing filters much easier
Some misc. Ti pieces
(stock aluminum hangers with Ti hardware)
Have used "fat" bars in the past and standard "cross-bar" bars in the past...I think ODI hit the nail on the head with their new CFT oversized bars when the combined the best of both worlds.
Just a random pics of the cleaned up stock shift lever....with a Ti bolt of course haha
Can't wait to see this thing finished...make sure you post up the bike weight too..
Pit Row
Thanks for looking!
Are you using aluminum or Ti for the engine cover hardware? Good looking stuff!
Oops, lookin great, btw. Enjoy.
You recommending to use the gasket sealant ALONG WITH the o-ring (clutch cover) and gasket (ignition)? What sealant do you recommend/did you use? Thanks!
