Re: 1982 CBX Project,
Thanks Steve
Is it the valve cover thats not your style?
I am doing my carbs now, i have come this far:
Edit: som pic are turned 90, all pictures have the same ”angle” on my phone, i dont get why the pics get turned?? When i enlarge the pics they come up at the ”right” angle?
I 3d printed new throttle linkage rubbers, and they have a tight fit. But then i read a post from Dave that you got to have good linkage rubbers for the carbs to sync. Should i go with randakks rubbers just to be sure? Anyone have a suggestion?
All but one standpipe was good on the carbs.
This one is cracked:
I tried to solder it but no succes there. Instead i replaced it, had to drill out the last bit of pipe that stuck down in the hole.
I googled and found a guide ( i think it was at oldschool carbs)
I drilled out the pipe with a 3,5 mm drill, ordered a 3,5 mm brass pipe. Put the pipe in the lathe and pushed the brass against a hollowed out rod to get the hole in the pipe smaller.
Here is the result: Now to get the pipe to have a good fit i took a smaller rod and pushed it in to the end of the brass pipe to enlarge the brass. Some oil and it worked easy.
Before: After: Cleaned up the end of my new standpipe and pushed it it with the help of a drill (not spinning:)
And last i pressured tested it and it holds.

Re: 1982 CBX Project,
Amazing, Marten.
My reference to "not my style" is a positive.
I don't have the skills or the patience to go into such detail on my bikes.

Re: 1982 CBX Project,
More progress.
Before:
After polishing and wetsanding. I used Meguiars cleaner wax on the black painted areas and wetsanded the rest. New sprocket and seals. Bearing were fine.
The brake side before: And after: I have realised that you come a long way with a steel/brass brush on tired looking bolts. Its much faster than to replate them:)

Re: 1982 CBX Project,
I must say that you may regret not re-plating the hardware. Just clean-up with wire brushes will leave bare metal that will rust. Otherwise - great job!

Re: 1982 CBX Project,
Got some more work. Installed the alternator and starter.
Read Nils guide on Restocycles fb site when i installed them. Very good info there
Got to give the alternator cover i last polish when all is done. Only the center part of the starter is repainted, not perfect but i am happy anyway.
You can also see the powdercoated linkage wich i think came out sweet. I turned new bronze bushings in the lathe and installed new rods.
Also installed complete clutch, discs and springs were well into spec. Discs were in oil for a looong time before i installed them.
Springs were marked with yellow on one side??
Also installed ignition stator (??) after i watched Nils tutorial. Was lots of junk in it.
When i installed the cases i read a tip from Dave to install clutch cover to se if timing chain was right. I did just that. Crank is now at F mark. So this should be right…
Need a new contact for timing unit. Any ideas wich one to use and were to get one?
Carbs are almost there, when i leaktested them the oring at the accelaration pump failed. Sixcenter sent me one, and now the pump works.
Rearwheel is off. Got some plating to do

Re: 1982 CBX Project,
Your alternator looks like it is a small output version from a Euro spec 1979 with magnesium cover. Polishing will not hold up. You will have to thoroughly clear coat it. The photo may be deceiving and it may not be.

Re: 1982 CBX Project,
Its deceiving, its an alucover.
Talking about alternator, i installed new connectors today.
Old one:
My first plan whas to keep the old contacts (but they didt fit to the new connectors) And i read that its pretty common that the contacts gets bad and toasted.
This looks kind of alright at first glance:
And this is how the connection really looked liked. Two of the yellow cable connections looked like this:
I mangled the first contact but recrimped it.
This is the end result:
And here is the alternator side:
Connectors were ordered from https://www.auto-click.co.uk/6098-0218
Not original but i take it.

Re: 1982 CBX Project,
Here she is. This is how far i have come.
Original shock is still there but i am going to replace it and the tires before she hits the road.
I am about to move so will not be able to work on the bike for a couple weeks. Please comment if you see something i should replace or do another way.
Longer post will come about the progress and hicups.
