TOPIC:

Today have I mounted the front fork to the frame and installed new roller bearings for the steering.
I hope I have torqued the bolt for the steering correct, not to much or less....

So fun to building the bike and not only take a part

Today have I installed the main? stand, front wheel and the steering, have attached some photos.

The steering is not 100% streight, it was not 100% before either. When I release the bolts for the upper and lower part who clamp on the upper fork I can adjust so the steering is streight, but when I torque up the bolts again it drags some back... it`s not much... but some....
I think I will leave it for now... I properly need to replace the upper or lower part..... ?

I have also added 248cc oil to the front fork, I was not sure what capacity I have since the forks has been rebuild with different parts, but 248cc is according to 80-81 KZ750-E (USA).

I have now rebuild all three brake calipers, have attached some photos.

I have now started to install the electrical system on the bike again. I will reuse existing for now,
but the plan is to build new next winter.

Today have I installed the new Hagon rear suspension, have attached some photos.

Wow, it looks really good. Great progress!

Hagon shocks changed the personality and handling of my 650 D2 more than any other change I've made. Progressive springs, new seals and fluid in the forks was good, but the shocks were huge.

Looking forward to test the bike again
I was thinking the rear suspension was less important then front, but rear is maybe important for my ass hehe?

Last work I have done is to pimp up the gauges for rpm and speed... It was some corrosion etc.... I have not done a 100% overhaul, since my plan is to rebuild everything when it comes to electricity and switches gauges etc.. next winter.

I have also reinstalled the left and right switches, have been able to locate a new plastic knop for the right side.

I have also received the top back, workshop have tapped of some on the inlet valves, so I can manage to get correct valve clearness.
I`m waiting for the last part before I can install the oil pan again and start to reinstall the engine.

I did not find any good picture before I started to overhaul the gauges:


After:

Today have I rebuild the brake cylinder rear with new parts, ready to be installed when I receive the rest of the parts (brake lines etc).
Tomorrow is the plan to rebuild the underside of the engine, install the oil pan again, will pick up the last part tomorrow.

Today have I installed the oil pan again. I have also washed the cylinders with mineral oil, the cylinder has a fresh borr and hone job, I shall install 810 big bore kit.
Plan further is to rebuild the whole engine and then paint the engine and store it for some months, while building the rest and then install it into the frame, do the last pices and start it up and do the burn in procedure.

Murphy's law will properly come hehe, but I try to do everything correct the first time.

I want to thank you all members on these form for your input and help, without you I will had big problem doing rebuild of the bike, so thank you.

Today have I installed the pistons, will continue on Saturday.

Today have I continue with the engine rebuild. I have installed the block and the top. I have only been able to torque up to 20Nm, my torque wrench is not going higher, will get a larger one on Monday and torque up to final 40Nm according to the service manual.

I used threebond sealer on four locations according to the service manual and then sprayed the whole gasket with copper spray.

Cross my fingers for now oil leak

Plan for tomorrow is to check valve clearness and install the cams and the timing chain.
