I bought this bike in 2008 in pretty rough shape for $2600.00. (paid way too much but I had a vision!)
A friend of mine did some powder acting and some other work on it for me, and in the process seized the oil pump. (He had the oil tank powder coated and apparently it didn't get cleaned out enoug...made its way into the pump) Thae motor leaked due to some prior snotty JB weld work on the cases, so it motivated me to take the engine out and have it completely rebuilt by a friend of mine that's an old school Harley mechanic. Took a couple years as he was doing it at home and we bought almost all new internal parts and had to find a set of matching cases. Bike went back together and I added the tank, drag bars and forward controls. I'm having an issue with the clutch (Can't seem to get it adjusted properly-will work for about the first run then go out of adjustment), may just replace the entire clutch system.

Go through all your clutch discs and plates make sure there all same direction should be marked and some setup need to be marks aligned. Also check see if metal disks are warped could be factor Luck. Wild Bill

 

I know my clutch plates are an unknown factor...you might be right. I'll check it out. Wild Bill Fort Wayne?

 

Where's the muffler?



Looks great. Love rat bikes!

 

Midasize is next on the long list!

 

 

I figured that out quickly after I saw the mods I saw you did on your bike...nice! ((I edited m reply!)
