id change those bearings

 

New bearings have been ordered, I just had the sprocket on for the purpose of pictures, I still need to put new loctite on the threads just waiting for the bearing to come in.

 

good job man! looking forward to more pics

 

looking good. I'm starting a similar build though I doubt mine will turn out as nice as yours has so far. 87 full bike (almost running, ill let you know tomorrow) and an 88 parts bike which i still have to pick up.

 

Does that ever sound similar, and I'm sure yours will turn out just as good if not better than mine, I still have quite a ways to go before I even attempt to fire mine up. Putting the engine together would be first on the list haha

 

My heads are finally in! Apart from the valve seals i had to replace all my intake valves but luckily the intakes on my second head were perfect so i could swap them over and save some money. Now i can start putting the engine back together soon. Made some more working space in my room by moving my toolbox to the shop while i was waiting for the heads aswell so that should make things alittle easier now!
My "new" head




Whats left of my second head


And how everything sits now

 

head looks nice, i assume you had them do a valve job since you swapped valves?

 

Very cool thanks for sharing. I had an 88 but sold it in 96. I really miss it.

 

I feel like building a hurricane again after seeing all this nice job i had about 14-20 hurricanes back in 1999 bought doc browns stash from him here in portland oregon he had been saving since the late 80,s oh well nice job on the build cant wait to see it done.

 

14-20? I'd LOVE to have that many of these. plenty of testbeds to experiment with some suspension mods and not feel bad about trashing a frame.
