So, I was out riding my 81' SH yesterday. Which I have put about 900mi. Since I got it running with little more than a new batt.,new rubber, and a chain! Funny I figured a lot more would need to be done to get her flyin' but so far she has treated me pretty damb good!....ANYWAY..out of nowhere...

Got seals and dust covers, waiting till I do the whole front end rebuild at once. Prob. Get progressive springs to put in too. Plus some other doodads....it's on the list!;)

So it's been a while since I posted anything. So far I have put about 300mi on the bike with no real problems..I have got it up to 70mph on the stock speedo with a slightly larger front tire, so I'm not sure that is entirely accurate. But that was really not pushing it too hard ethier..Needless...

Shinko good tires in right sizes good price all set.

It's been raining like a bastahd out up here latley and I have been busy with work so I have not been thinking about the bike much. But I will be back on it today. New batt. Seemed to do the trick for now, but I will definitely update everything eventually. Is there any good threads I should...

Yeah, I went and bought a new battery, it runs great now and starts right up without dying out. So maybe it was the battery. My buddy swears it's just the battery. But I still only get 13v max. At 5,000rpm...manual says I should be seeing like 14-14.5v... If the v-reg. Was toast, what would the...

Not sure I get what your saying? What should work? I know for sure something is not working, battery will not charge. Only get 12.7v max at up to 5,000rpm...should read like 14.5 + - if charge sys. Is functioning properly. Positive that coils all read right, pretty damb sure rectifier is...

Still have not got this thing 100% now I got charging issues. It is never ending I know. Threw a plate on it to at least be legal on the road. Got a long way to go, but I will stay pluggin away at it. For me I think this thread is at an end. On to the next batch of issues!:laugh: Thanks all...

OK, THERE IT IS. ALL CLEANED UP, REBUILT, S.S. LINE. WORKS GREAT. Not the most powerful braking system in the world, but for an 81' I'd say not too bad. This is where this thread ends for me. THANK YOU ALL FOR A TON OF HELP AND GOOD ADVICE. APPRECIATE IT. :thumbsup:;)

Ok guys, here we go again! I know this is another thread that has been posted probably about a MILLION TIMES. So I am just going to say that I did READ THE MANUAL, performed the tests as they say. I did search around on different threads for answers, but it seems that they always start off with...

TOMORROW IS THE BIG DAY! GONNA PUT THE FRONT BRAKE ON AND GET THAT ALL SQUARED. DO A FINAL ONCE OVER ON THE BIKE TO FINISH ALL THE LITTLE STUFF I GOT LEFT. AND FIRE IT BACK UP. SUPPOSED TO BE SUNNY AND 60DEG. OUT TOO SO THAT HELPS! DO AN OIL CHANGE/FILTER/CLEAN SUMP. AND HOPEFULLY GET SOME...

Ok, got my MC all rebuilt. Went together like butter. AND... I got my chinkie Hong kong MC in the mail today too! So now I gotta figure which one to use... I am tempted to try out the chinkie dinky one, but I will prob. Go with the OEM. Got a S.S. line for it too, so it's gonna look sweet. For...

I know for sure it was all correct parts and I was being very careful to push piston in evenly...unless you have hands of steel and was born on planet Kripton you would not get that piston in with hand strength alone. There's no "it'll slide right in" ain't happening. Use a c-clamp CAREFULLY...

Got it in, a c-clamp is man's best friend! Just be careful to apply pressure equally. And the dust boot with new ring went right in. Got it all back together, looks awesome! BEFORE:poo:: AFTER:rock:: BRAKES ARE COMING ALONG NICELY! :bike:

I did decide to just leave them raw. But now I gotta get this new piston in! I am being very careful and only using hand strength, but this is about as far as I can get it in. Using a socket inside the piston so I have something to press down on. Wish I had a small piece of wood and a c-clamp to...

Holy crap! Putting my piston in and running into the same problem! And damb I don't have any tools with me like c-clamp. I think carefully using a c-clamp would be the best bet, but by hand....holy crap!!

IT IS UNREAL HOW NICE THESE THINGS CLEANED UP. THEY LOOK BRAND NEW! I HOPE I DON'T SCREW UP THE PAINT JOB! GONNA SPEND THE TIME TO DO IT RIGHT.

LEMME TELL YA, THAT AIRCRAFT STRIPPER AIN'T NO JOKE! THESE THINGS LOOK BEAUTIFUL! NOW KINDA THINKING MAYBE JUST CLEAR COAT THEM WITH HI-TEMP. IF I CAN FIND IT. AND I GOT ALL MY REBUILD PARTS TODAY FROM YAMBITS. CHK IT OUT:

I would say the inside of the caliper and MC cleaned up real nice! BEFORE: AFTER: now I gotta strip the paint, repaint them, and throw some new parts in there and get em back on the bike! I will post progress pics... SO FAR SO GOOD.

Well, I got the bike back together as far as I could. Still need to get air filters and do the front brake rebuild. Getting a shinko 712 130/90×16 into this bike with no mods is a VERY TIGHT FIT! and this chain is a fat one too, so it has nada for clearance. I think I can just barely get away...
