2-22-2 Wheels.

White wall Saturd-day.

Picture me rollin'.

New....uni air filter, handlebars, internal throttle slider, used nos exhaust.

More torque in higher gears, faster off the start.

 Time to clean.

Ugh.

 Release.

 Repent.

Repeat.

 Scrutinizer. 

 Non-motor white wall.

 Where did daddy go?

 Needs a little more love.

 Snobby smell of spring.

Summer.....Time......to start rebuilding this bike.

Heavy Duty Stripping.

Not the funnest thing.

Scrape scrape.

Almost time to sand.

 Blashfack to Spring.

土曜日 Dribble.

Dream Bar Bends.

Ugly Baby.

Bandana Bones.

 She doesn't love me as much today.

Daughter, again.

Engine barf.

Options..

Tippitty-tap. 

 I need a cam chain riveting tool.

"Mines" is too damn big.

The snug down was essential.

Oh, how the Honda bond does cure.

 Pretty.

Clean.

 Dental tools.

Zip-ties. 

To. Do. Dreamin'.

Long list.

I love this bike.

Modeselektor. Rapanthem.

CB160 woes.

 Lucky to have options?

They all need rebuilt.

The chromed up shroud is the most annoying thing in the world to take off....

Moyou agrees.

 To do.

Dream.

 Clean up the wiring.

New rectifier.

Sitter cover.

 New veins in the controls.

Bar-bender fixer-upper.

I don't think the clutch returns as youthfully as I feel when I ride old beans.

I am going to put in a new or stiffer spring in the clutch mechanism and see if that helps.

I need a classier exhaust, also.

Re-build Set-up.

Preparation.

Maybe santa will stop by tomorrow and help me finish up.

Cam chain went swimming earlier.

Ready for cylinders.

 If there is an arrow on the piston, point it toward the exhaust.

If there is IN stamped on it, well then that faces the intake.

 ９０パーセント準備だな。

Perfect song for an X-mas eve alone.

This engine should give thanks....

...that I didn't throw it out the window on the way to the skatepark.

2 hours turned to 6.

I guess I should be thankful I have many engines to pull parts from.....

Start.

 Two problems right away.

One fixed.

 One caused about 2-3 more hours of work.....

 Yet another problem...

 This is the part I wish I could have used.                                                                                                This is the bottom end I used.

Surfaces clean, no cracks in the case.                                                                                                    Gasket surfaces decent.

I didn't want to switch out the shifter for mechanism but....                                                                                      Transmission looked good.

This was the problem.

I ended up breaking off a drill bit in it before I could get a chance to extract it.

Time to pull, clean, and swap a different top case......

 Gasket surfaces cut, sudzed, final clean.

 Re-installed in the new case.

 The cleaned and ready top with the ready to go bottom.

 A lot happened after this.

Food.

Skating.

Napping.

Throwing things.

Reading the manual.

Feeling helpless.

Feeling of chopped guts.

 And magically it went back together.

This was one of the biggest struggles and I have nothing to show for it.

New cam chain.

Everything is almost ready....

 New race clutch springs.

 A little more push....

 Ready for the top end.
