Got a decent day in the garage, 2 carbs are done and one in the dip.... Also finalized the nagging chain clearance issue by going down to a 160- 60 rear tire, machining both sides of the hub (to move sprocket in and lessen thickness of cush drive) Not a ton of clearance but good enough for this season. Here is a shot of it DONE. Got the cylinders and heads on even though you cant see them the head bolts are powdered gold Now for todays dilemma, found I only have one of these carb insulators and will need another 2 soon, I could make some on my scroll saw but what material to use or where do I get my hand on 2 more of these?

More nice shots Bake, she's looking sweet! I had the same problem on an inlet gasket for my bike. I went down to Canadian Tire and bought a kit with an assortment of gasket materials. There are some decent quality pieces to choose from.... Then sit down with a hole punch and watch a football match this weekend. Better then tracking something down at this point eh! She needs to be fired!

Was really pleased to bolt on a carb and filter and have it fit in the only available space ;D Routing oil lines and mounting pump Really I goofed off and went for a nice long ride on the BMW today ;D but I have on more mystery piece (found with carb isolaters) it looks important and I sure hope it doesn't come from inside the cases

The counter shaft sprocket nut doesn't appear to have a lock tab washer on it. That nut is notorious for loosening. At least make sure it is assembled with loctite.
It would be a good idea to put a thin layer of case sealer on each side of the carb heat insulators. It is an area known to be prone to air leaks. Overtightening can cause the intake to bow and not seal.
No idea what the "extra" part is???

Thanks for the tips, the countershaft still needs a spacer built but I had better look for a locking tab washer before finalizing. I had better take the intake apart and get some sealant on there, anyone know the torque value of the intake nuts?

I feel I'm close to first fire up (hope to do it while you guys are parting at Dons seeing as I can't make it) so... I had to make exhaust mounts.... 1/4" aluminum plate rough and dirty Little more work on this side because of the brake cylinder from the rear, but heights are not cast in stone yet next I need to bend some slight offsets in them, clean up and powder coat of course.

Nice mounts Bake! Look like you ended up with my old set of Wirges. They were NOS when I bought them. I suspect Brad never used them. There's maybe 600 miles on them, so the oil/crud buildup should be minimal. The dents in the left baffle end cap were caused by the 1st Paris meeting. I tarped the bike in my trailer, and one of the buckles came loose on the highway, it must've just kept slamming into it 1000x. ;D Donnie fixed it up with a black spray bomb.

That is one beautiful bike. You're doing a great job Bake! Can't wait to see the finished product. Since you're in the west maybe I'll get to see it in the flesh sometime. I may be passing your way on a bike trip later this summer.

Are you going to Laguna Seca for the Moto GP race in July? Not sure when I'm coming that way, I have 10 weeks off during the summer so it might be in August. Have a great trip to Cali!!

While you guys were whooping it up.... Dennis came over just in the nick of time to help me out as it would run on 1 cylinder only but perseverance and blind luck lead us to regapping the plugs from .028 to .020 and it brought the other cylinders to life. I have details to do before the first ride but this thing sounds healthy and here is my presentation to it's new rider. s117.photobucket.com/albums/o56/bakdo/H-1/?action=view¤t=M2U00017.mp4I cant thank all you guys enough for you knowledge and help through this project.
