Put the new bearings & seals in my dynamags & put the rotors back on now I just need to swap them out so maybe tomorrow or Monday I will put them on. Then I have to go over to by buddys machine shop & grab a couple pieces of stainless & make the adaptors for my busa calipers.

There should be a nut on the other side of where they are mounted.

A big hammer will take them right off but if you want to do it the correct way look in under the where they go in at and the wires will lead you to the head light bucket.
If you don't want to undo the nut from behind the mountings, dropping the bike at speed sometimes gets them off. :rofl_200:
Looks good mate! :biglaugh: That perspex window will certainly get people looking!
I.m confused because if you can powdercoat, why use a rattle can for clear?

Finally got a chance to turn some wrenches yesterday.
Painted the trim rings for the final drive and rear wheel.
Installed fancy new valve stems in my wheels.
Installed bearings/seals in the front wheel. Cleaned powder coat off of the rotor mounting surfaces
Installed bearings and seals on the drive side of the rear wheel. The bearing COO told me to buy for the brake side is incorrect.
Cleaned up some parts that where chromed so they fit. Had some tolerance issues.
New races in the swingarm. Installed it.
Finalized the rear shock setup with the offset bushings (swingarm is offset, shock was on a bit of an angle, sean hooked me up with a bushing, I had some small adjustments to make)
Finished differential rebuild other than staking the pinion nut.
New brake lines front and rear as well as clutch installed (still need bled)
Radial clutch master installed (ZX-11) fabbed a stainless bracket for the reservoir
Debated on how to set up the front brake switch wiring for awhile. I was torn over cutting the OEM wiring and hiding it all in the headlight or doing it under the master. I don't like cutting wires. Decided to do it under the master and hide as best I can
Opened up the box for my new speedo/tach. Got to come up with a mounting solution. Doesn't fit in the OEM gauge cup as well as I had hoped.
Got a lot more to do.... Maybe next weekend I'll hit it again.

I took the time to refurb my starter switch. Headlight and the guage lights weren't coming on, so I had to clean up the contacts. Threw it back together with some silicone lubricant to keep it moving nice and smooth and hopefully prevent the contacts from corroding again. Works like a champ now.
Thanks to this forum for letting me know about this persistent problem.

Def. check the head bearings....mine was doing the exact same thing at low speeds. Tightened em up, and it took care of it.
finished up my new high output stator install from last weekend with a volt meter just to be able to keep tabs on things.
seems to work great and no runs, no drips, no errors during the stator install:clapping:
later,bill

They are nice wheels. I can see why you were after them.

Over the past weekend, put the motor back together. Put the motor in the bike, plugged most everything. Called it a night, started the next day but cut it short because I had to head home to help the wife. Later in the afternoon my buddy texts me a photo with the headlight on, then later text me a photo with the carbs in and the airbox in. All that really is left is body work and the exhaust I think.
Thanks yall. Now if I can get the chance to put them on. I been running like crazy lately cant seem to get a break & I keep forgetting shit. I must be getting old.
