The monster goes under the knife again. I should have done this after the crash because I bought some parts that I will now have to sell. But the update is gonna be sick!!!



Will post pics tomorrow when she is back together.

Then I have a whole pile of detail work planned.
* hide all the wiring under the tank
*make a box for all the electrics and the ignition switch
* Have the dog bones on the rear shock linkage shortened by 1 inch. Going to raise the rear of the bike a bit to improve the stance and gain a tad ground clearance.
*re-mount the steering damper.
etc etc etc

Almost done, but stuck.

I got to the starter jack shaft, which I thought would be simple to re-install. The parts supplied look nothing like the original shaft and there is no actual shaft to reach into the starter. Little confused, any help?? I am gonna go look over the instructions again and see if I mised something.


The original parts are on the right, new parts on the left.
