Very nice, my cousin just powder coated his cases a really cool red color. Would love to do something to mine, but it's already back together. What intake is that?
As for my project I have a couple pictures I still need to upload. Sent the radiators back to the welder, got the angle way off on one, and it was hitting the pipe, the other rad had to modify the outlet to go up over the front of the cylinder, and not directly into the side of the cylinder, hope they get it right this time. Flow was restricted on the radiator they worked on, when I cut the outlet off there was enough weld on the inside to reduce flow by quite a bit. Should have my other hose for pump return today from Napa. Need to trim the hoses that go from cylinder to rads, such a weird fit, but if I cut it at cylinder side a half inch, it should clear better.
Working on extending wires for the ignition. Should have that done in a day or two once I get some new connectors.
Looking into .62 springs for the front end. Do I need to swap the oil or do a seal rebuild or anything in the process?
Also one last thing to do is figure out this clutch. If any 500 owners have any input it would help. I replaced the basket with a hinson, and put new friction plates in, as well as a new clutch throw out bearing. Also replaced the clutch actuator arm. But it doesn't engage till about a half inch or less away from the arm hitting the top inlet for the cable. Really not sure what to do there.
Ordered a ton of other misc parts, and some two stroke oil. Waiting on an engine mounting bolt as well. I'm using the 1988 straight kick starter, once I replace the dust seal and get the ball and spring back in it, it shouldn't hit anything that I can tell.
Modifying the tank tonight, wish me luck on that one.
