first off, HUGE thanks to Chad (redrubicon) for helping me with my build, with the 2 of us we got the whole motor out and the cases split in a afternoon! was awesome!!!
I am doing the full motor, welding and true the crank, pistons, bore, cams, heads, adj pushrods, timkin bearing, the whole shabang... doing a 95, he is doing a 107 (as you can see his motor is out as well in the back round of the pics) I am stoked as hell to get this sucker done, dyno'd and ripping!
but here are some pics of how we spent our saturday!

tanks off


rockers off and outer primary




removal of the heads




jugs and primary removed

so the bike can be moved around we fabbed up a support plate, thank god Chad can weld, and i can screw up measurements and drill holes ha ha ha




Next up cracked the cases




and here they sit waiting for their hearts to go back in

 

Wow, heck off a job ....

 

thats the easy part I find getting all the parts back together is what I mess up :-)

 

WOW is right . Impressive project . Can't wait to see the results....are you going with gear driven cams ?

 

Damn Joe, do you ever take a break? I'm sure you're going to love the extra power.

My kid is having the 1200 kit done on his Sporty. I wish I had the know how to do it with him.

 

My god man! I'll be following this thread for sure.

 

sweet, sure feels good to do it urself.......whats ur build list? i got some andrews 37g gear drive cams i aint gonna use......

 

Since his is a 06 and has the new cam chain tensioners we are just doing a simple cam swap. He got the cams for like $100 used and they look perfect!

 

Nice pics on the tear down Joe, Chad, you guys are too cool for school man. Keep us posted on the install with pics too, it's gonna be swwwwwwweeeeeeet, I already can tell.

 

Nice!
