Matt I tried to get ahold of that case splitter through Rocky Mountain, but it was out of stock (damnit). I already have a flywheel puller and motion pro clutch holding tool so that's all taken care of, but that case splitter will be a definite purchase in the future.

Matt I don't have a case splitter, just the rubber mallet/deadblow trick. I'm just a little thrown off because of all the motors I've rebuilt and split cases on, I've never had this issue. They usually separate with a couple whacks. I was pretty tired the other night working on it but there's only 2 bolts inside the flywheel cavity...

I've also squired a few more goodies since last being on here, and there's more in the mail. Just waiting on this ankle to be a little stronger so I can spend more than an hour or two in the shop building the bike

Well, after a full weekend of tooling around in the motor, I can't seem to get the cases split. Has anybody else had the same problem? It's the front of the case, near the front motor mount. Starting to think I have a dowel pin froze up.

Damn man that frame looks sweet! I'll have to try that to get the full shine, works bike look I'm going for. Just as soon as I'm out of this thing.... Removed scar tissue, two screws in the talus, and a calf incision to lengthen the muscle. Needs to heal so I can get this bike done and go rip!!

I plan on buying a brand new head, new OEM is only $89 so I might as well. And I'm buying a new cylinder as well, this one is way out of tolerance and the coating is flaked off on the exhaust bridge, as well as gouged on the transfer port.

Call me crazy, but I don't think it's supposed to look like that... A mixture of the reed that got sucked and some detonation on the exhaust side. Guess that's what you get with a used bike. Haha

Got it all cleaned up, that aluminum cleaner did pretty good. Only downfall is that after it's rinsed it still leaves a film of what looks like oxidation... It'll come off with a little scotch brite I think, but I'm worried about a black residue being left behind. Any tips for that? Here's what that residue looks like

Okay frame is bare and is ready to get pressure washed/ hit with aluminum cleaner. Then after I'm a little more healed from surgery I'll get it sanded bare and ready for assembly

Reded so you think something like that would do the trick to get all the deep stains out of the inner frame spars and around the swing arm pivot? (Where the majority of the dirty parts are)

Hey everyone sorry for the lack of posts! I've been super busy with work, I just got back from Sheppard AFB in Texas for some training. And I get surgery on the 21st so that'll put me out for about a month or so. BUT, today I'm going to clean up the frame and have it ready to go. So...
