FYI to anyone who orders from Dime City Cyles there are a few issues with there item descriptions.

First issue I had was the speedo cable, note the original is on the bottom and the DCC one is on the top. There is no nut on the DCC cable and the end is completely different.



Second issue was the front brake cable. The original as you can see has the brake switch where as the DCC cable has no switch. 




Third issue was the engine head/shock mount acorn nuts. Their description says they will work on both, they are correct but the original head nuts have a much larger flange where as the DCC nuts don't. 

I just wanted to let people know about these issues. To me it really was no big deal, I just returned the nuts and speedo cable. I decided to use the brake cable. 

I'm not bashing DCC, I just want it to be known. I will continue to order from DCC they have a good selection of parts for our bikes and good customer service.


Finally got around to sand blasting the cylinders. Turned out better than i thought, tomorrow i will do the head. I just need to find a good parts washer to get all the sand out. 

My problem now is what should i do with the crank cases? I have no reason to take it further apart.

Been pretty busy lately with other stuff but finally I'm back on the bike again.  Lowered the front about 1.5 inches and now looking fo...
