Default More Progress

Almost done with the seat. I have two bolts to install under the seat, then I can stretch the cover tight and it will be ready.


CDI and Coil mounted up.Just waiting for a oem protector and mount for the CDI.



New steering head bearings installed with the triples. Bottom bearing is a tapered bearing and top bearing is a older design roller bearing, but the top bearing mounted up tight with low drag and smooth action. There is a kit to covert the top bearing to a tapered bearing but it requires machining the stem slightly. The oem design seems very strong so I decided to go with it. I know this bearing is used on several other suzuki models. The design is a little strange and the inside machining inside the top of the steering head looks two races but they are not removable races just machined surfaces into which the new races(roller ball or tapered) are inserted.



I think the frame turned out nice. Here are some shots of the frame.
