Lashed out and bought a cycle x crank end plate to make the motor a bit skinnier, they are decent heavy duty ones that dont leak etc.

These are titanium locknuts for the rocker arm adjusters.

These are a couple of universal oil hose outlets to relocate the oil tank, a tach cable hole plug, and HD clutch springs, I had a set of Barnett HD clutch plates allready to match the springs.

GETTING there slowly, cheers johno

Nice looking stuff ya got there Johno. That ignition looks tricky.

A few of us 2 strokers use Zeel Ignition. 3D programmable stuff. Once ya get ya head round it it is not that bad.

Hi Dave,
thanks for the link, I am a big fan of CDI and on the 69 Kwaka the original capaciters were failing regularly so I replaced it with a modern unit from lakeland in the US. Best thing I ever done, the spark was like white lightening. It got me thinking about asking Lakeland to make something up for my old Honda, custom job but this modern coil system with light pick up for trigger got me interested and bingo it happened. There is a bit of a spiel about how it works on the Cycle X web site under their electrical section. Just scroll through the electrical section until you see the timing light action happening.

The things I was looking for were...... individual coils per cylinder, long multiple spark rather than one spark, light pick up, programmable.

Anyway the weather has been so bad a bit of electronic reading time will do me good, cheers Dave

Just had a look at the Cycle X site, being designed specifically for your engine, it looks like just the thing.

I also run the Zeeltronic Unit for that reason, it's built to wire straight in and go and it made all the difference when sorting out the tuning on my buzzbox.

Mike Rieks from the US is doing my head and sent an update yesterday showing he is in the hogging out stage !
Looks ugly hey, he said lucky he has plenty of epoxy to fill in the holes.
cheers johno

Almost ready to go. ha ha

[Johno Senior]

painted the pipes, lots of coats black anti rust stuff.......

[Johno Senior]

The dealer changed the dual coils ( wasted spark) he sent me by mistake for the 4 seperate (non wasted spark) coil type. Which I had pegged as something I really wanted , I know the big HP Busa,s all run fine its just me living in the 70's ....... one spark when I want it kind of thing.
cheers johno

Just to show you what I done to make the frame tubes above engine removable for cam, head or spring relief between meets. Saves pulling the engine out at the track or on the dyno. I have two heads , three cams and two exhausts combos to try on the dyno.
cheers johno
