At least you have the proper tools

That always helps make things easier.  Were it not for having to hone that bushing to remachine it just a bit this task wouldn't have required much though. 

36mm tools to get the back wheel on and off.  But anyone considering this probably has done their own rear wheel already.  Having a press makes putting the bushings in a chore of no consequence.  But it could've been easily done with a piece of all thread, some nuts and a couple of big washers and a big socket to cup the bushing on the receiving end. 

Suppose someone might have need to take the replacement swingarm to a machine shop to get the old bearings pressed out before the new bushings go in.  I've never pushed them out without using a press but would assume that the amount of press and distance would make it an unpleasant chore otherwise.  Aside from that and the rear axle though all basic hand tools for anyone feeling froggy.

Never know... you just might have a stretch of bored days and want to git-r-done.

Have a spare Delphi 103.
Does that help?

That's a start. I've got a spare inner primary cover that came off my motor.

When the time comes that I must decide it might just help Chip.  Will certainly keep it in mind.

Awhile back had talked myself in to "going large" (proper citation to the TV commercial selling the penis pills).  Was going to go with the Jim's 131 and had just ordered an engine and tranny when Ken reported his problems with Jim's. 

No way I was spending a dime with them after they jerked Hogbreath around like that and spoke to him as they did.  Not a frakking chance.  The engine that was in this bike originally is fine.  The transmission is cracked where the pivot shaft goes through.

Will probably end up doing some work to this engine.  Get it to an output level comparable to the red bike.  That would keep the VIN engine to frame match in tact also.  Then do something with a trans and call it good.

Haven't been in a big hurry with anything on this project.  Rushing any of it would take some of the fun out of it.  And a guy can save a buck or three when he's not in a hurry collecting parts.  I do enjoy the process of tracking the stuff though.  So I've had no reason to push it to completion.  Drive train is the last major decision though.  So, sometime sooner than later, will have to pick something.  A nice 103 is a worthy option when considered against a tired 95.  So will definitely keep the platform in mind.  Thanks.

Damn you guys.  You're going to screw around and get me all jazzed up. Then I'll have to do something more quickly .
