Hey - I suck, well I don't my transmission does.
So after all that work and effort the bike pops out of second, we tested it on the center stand but not under load - Bill (builder - mechanic) knew right away it was a bend fork selector or busted dog on 2nd. We originally opted to crack the case and fix the transmission and be done but it didn't make a whole lot of sense for an engine with suspect compression on cylinder #1 anyway.
So Bill has two K4 engines on the ready - we picked the best out of the two and decided that a complete top end rebuild would be the smartest move.
Lapping, rings, cleaning, thicker torque bolts, gaskets, rollers etc and paint. So I'm expecting delivery this weekend... hopefully.
Sorry I missed you man - I did get a loner ('74 CB 350 F) but that was just for scootin' around the hood for the afternoon - the front brake was MIA.
Pics attached - look forward to getting out there with ya man. Just a little bit more to do.
