Awhile back I got some shorty adjustable folding levers for a 1983 Honda CB1100F and just loved em!
I bought another pair and after some mods and rework got them fitted to an 81' 900SS.
The Brembo levers are so long and swoop away from your hand so far it's hard to keep a finger or 2 on the lever ...

Needed to get a bunch of hardware Cadmium plated recently but wasn't sure about Nyloc nuts. I cleaned them up and brought them to the plater and he said sure, no problem. Nice to keep all original nuts and bolts with the bike. I did check online to see if cad plating nyloc was possible but as usual ...

You can install a dry clutch without changing the oil circuit. I just did both at the same time. There is a dry clutch kit here on Bevelheaven.

This is the backside.

No, not plug and play, but not terrible either. The hardest part was making the inner clutch drive with the right splines.
I really should have made more than one. It all fit nicely in the Brook Henry housing.

This engine also has a dry clutch from a Monster which helps keep the oil clean for longer.

I chose the WIX 57035, here are the specs from the WIX catalog available online.

It's used on several modern Aprilia motorcycles and many lawn and garden equipment applications.
Engine has 9145 miles since modifications, and while ...

These details are all fixed and the only problem I have is knowing whether I have put the front cylinder head on correctly. (could be any of four camshaft positions where the half-shafts match to allow the head to go on)

It can be seen from this that the drive shaft will line up with its mating ...

Do you have the original Bosch ignition?
If you do you have some wire replacing to do or maybe go with a new Sachse ignition.

Found a link to a pdf of the same article but this has the diagrams that make it a bit easier to understand.

If you really want to understand cam timing it would be hard to beat this.

Afraid I never paid attention to details like valves opening when rotating from all timing marks lined up.
All the gears are keyed to their shafts so if the timing marks are all lined up, that's it.

That all sounds right to me.
Rear piston at TDC, front piston on its way down and all the timing marks lined up, turn the crankshaft 6 revolutions and all timing marks lined up again.

I was working on posting this when the forum went missing.
Not written by me but I saved it from a forum and have been using it.


BEVEL DRIVE CAMSHAFT TIMING GEARS AND ALIGNMENT MARKS

The timing marks on a bevel drive engine, are only all lined up once every six ...

3 years plus of nuthin but crickets chirping, its time for an update! By the end of the riding season 2019 I was having some hip pain that was
making riding uncomfortable and just walking was painful. Physical therapy didn't help so I was just getting used to living with the pain.
Spring of 2020 I ...
