Magnificent 7

Like how they packaging original bearings now.

Let's put ktm bag over the cagiva package.

i still see an elephant!

Sheet! Look at the pistons I took out of the two fitties!

They look bored!

Now I know why the one was smokin a lot !

Uninterested at best.

would make good halloween decorations. they are certainly scary enough

Does that mean it's SCARY fast?

Well took and assemble bottom end of 390 and my crank is rubbing on bottom of crank web.
I did not realize it was so close to case on a 390. So back apart it comes. It is just slight but I don't want any thing getting sucked up to top end. It was pitted some and filled in pits with JB Marine weld then KBS with two coats. So gonna have to take it down some more for room. I can see where it rubs a little.
Still like that KBS. Where can you use paint and take a rag with thinner over it to remove some black VHT overspray and not even affect it.

OBD, I found a nice Elsinore but not sure if want to tackle nother bike.

Ya know you do....but don't. I'll get jealous cause yours will no doubt be nicer...lol.

dont do it darren...if you do any more bikes after these...
it needs to be a liquid cooled swede...

Yeah you prob right! Like to have 87 Cr 430 again!

She said I could go get the El See Snore! You guys know that drill !!!

But I snore enough as is!

390 coming together!

Here you go!

Weeeeee ninety!

The work coming out of your modest shop is impressive. As much as I enjoy watching your thread & progress, I can't wait to see the collection all lined up.

Funny! Think need to sleep on it more!

My friend had one, back in day. Pro Circuit did his motor and sure Mitch ported it. That thing hauled!

But they sure have a loud distinct sound.

Husky's have there own as well!

At least she said a ok and I don't have to sneak it in in pieces.

She still comes back and asks me how I have 6!

Said, bought like the house when I see something new in corner. Oh, that's been there for 6 months.

Bull!

Thanx!

So far so good! Looks like the internal cr ignition is going to clear the ignition cover. Not by much though!
Going to have to get adapter plate machined to go from the smaller 390 case mounts to the Electex mount.
I cut up an old Motoplat one, so I can use at machinist for stencil.

This is backing plate of cr ignition with old Motoplat over it. Looks like pretty easy conversion.
Electrex has 3 threaded holes in back plate that line up perfect with my case holes.
So those can be drilled out for bolts.
Then machinist just has to cut ears off and machine plate to size.
From there then I can adjust the thickness but looks like I only have to shave 3mm off back.

The blue marked on Elextrex plate is what need removed. Then holes drilled out to 5mm and counter sunk on front of plate. I need to sink this ignition total of 5mm to make flywheel and pick up coil align.
2mm I will gain once plate is machine to size so it fits down in recessed case area.
Then still off 3mm. This plate is 10mm thick so is just have to have 3mm machined off the back.

the ladies must get formal training on that! my wife and my mates wife do the exact same thing!

Machinist smachicist. You can do it yourself. you know you're thinking about it.....lol

I work with a lot of gals, they tell each other how to pull stuff off, so we don't notice.

I still think it is hilarious that brought the one in piece by piece.

When I bought it. I asked guy if I could take it apart. He said fine.

Then when she came back. I'd say, hey look at the engine I got cheap.
