Took a while to get the hammer to strike just right, but now it can't be stopped... not even a 500cc on the compression stroke...
LH kick... now that's a different story!

...throw a zip tie on that kill switch loom. It looks to be begging to be caught on some creosote.

Hey, so what did that thing sound like with the fresh motor and all. I bet it sounded like a factory monster....

Ran Great, sounded even better. Idles like a champion.
Needs clutch adjustment to really get a feel for it's factory+added HP.

I WANT TO GIVE A HUGE THANK YOU!​
NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT A LITTLE HELP FROM OUR FRIENDS!​
​
TIMOYZ @ TIMOLOVESTITTIES.COM​
For your endless powdercoat support and knowledge. Your endless assistance made this project what it is today! I really appreciated that you went out of your way to source, reserve, and purchase an OEM part I was having a hard time locating. You personally made this project happen! BIG THANKS!​
​
BROCK @ POWERSPORTJUNKIE​
For your prompt and professional quotes, organization, and shipping. You got everything I needed bundled into cost effective packages, shipped FAST and made right on the very minor issues we had. You beat every price I could come up with! Thank you for your support and long hours searching out my old OEM parts. Highly recommend! BIG THANKS!​
​
BOB @ FCR SUSPENSION​
Thanks for your repeated quoting, professionalism, and prompt service. Thanks for working with me and making sure I understood everything that was going to be done with my suspenders. Thanks for working with me while I experience hard times. Even took the time to explain a good starting sag setup and how to change different characteristics, even 8 months after the servicing. BIG THANKS!​
​
CDA+MIKEY+JAX @ DBA​
Thanks to you guys for egging me on to REPLACE at every questionable part. I am so happy I changed everything in the end. You guys really helped shape this build into something to be proud of. Without you it may have been half-assed. BIG THANKS and a wiggly finger to all of you!​
​
BK2 @ DBA​
What to say about BK2… Thanks for all the troubleshooting, late-night conversations, techy helps, and egging me on as well to do the best I possibly can. This build wouldn’t have been the same without you. I know for a fact my master cylinder wouldn’t have been the same. BIG THANKS!​
​
EVERYONE ELSE @ DBA​
I did this build for you! I would be perfectly content to ride a sloppy jalopy, but I figured we all could use a good build thread.​
Be prepared for MANY upcoming ride/race reports.​
Thanks to EVERYONE for all your kind words, I really appreciate them!​
​
​
WITH GREAT PLEASURE AND SADNESS… I HERBY END THIS THREAD!​

There will be a separate thread regarding the headlight and the enduro kit I'm building. It deserves a thread of it's own.

Working out all the bugs. Something about separating EVERY part from each other, leads to endless adjustments upon reassembly.
I've got "too-tall" (15X50) sprockets on there, leaving me to fan the clutch at every switchback or sharp corner. I'll throw a 14T on there and get all the crawling done without all the clutch work.
Engine runs great, tires give great feedback and traction. The rear tire may lose a few more PSI before I'm happy with it.
Enjoy.
