Basket case 929RR
She is alive again! I finished up shimming the valves, installing the Ape cam chain tensioner, and installing the 954 throttle bodies. I fired her up and was met by a much nicer idle. I'm very, very happy with the progress.
The list of things I need to take care of before I can ride is dwindling.
- new collars for the wheels - PO lost two of them.
- tune the bike for the throttle bodies
- check the fan
- install headlights
- fill the forks with oil
- install new brakes
- weld in a new ear for the stator side case - PO broke off an ear leaving a pesky oil leak.
I may have to pull the engine to weld the ear, but that's cake. It shouldn't be long.

- new collars for the wheels should be here tomorrow.
- Power Commander should be here Friday
- the fan is dead, but I happen to have one lying around
- new headlights are here and will install them tonight
- fill the forks with oil
- install new brakes - waiting for the new collars
- I'm checking with a shop this evening to see if I need to pull the engine before they weld in the new ear.

Holy Cow!! Looking good! You haven't wasted any time. I like the black/ copper combo. I'm going to strip mine this fall/winter and powder coat the entire frame and swing arm black. I'm glad to see it looks good that way, even with no fairings! 929's are just good lookin' bikes.
