I think I'll start here
Just got the frame back from being powdercoated.
The motor in the background has one of Lancer's cams and a new cam chain in it...
Time to start putting things back together!

Not much to show... until now! I have re-assembled the engine, bolted on the suspension, and put the engine in the frame.
Tomorrow I plan on picking up the freshly painted tank and front fender, splice together a wiring harness, mount the battery and maybe even some handlebars...

8)Cool!! That front end looks like it might be off of a VZ800 Marauder ... as well might the rear shocks?
I've heard the 'Rauder front end will swap to the Savage! Nice look ... can't wait to see the finished product!

Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self-esteem, first make sure you are not, in fact, just surrounded by arseholes!

The front is in fact from a Marauder I picked up for parts. Rear shocks too. The frorks don't bolt right up though (I thought they might but I was wrong.) The steering stem is too long and, if you try to swap stems between the lower trees, the marauder one is a bit bigger than the savage one so you have to build up the savage one or shorten and turn down the marauder one.
But that worked, and I got the beefier look I wanted.
I spent this morning working out the electrics. I put some oil in the motor and it hasn't leaked any on the floor yet... maybe tomorrow I'll even try to start it!

And now for some less nice... I cobbled together a rat's nest of wiring and bolted on the old scratched and rusty exhaust in an attempt to start it up today.
Alas, no rumble. What am I missing? Spark? Fuel? Mojo? Dunno. I'll find out tomorrow I hope.
And I'll make the wiring all neat and tidy while I'm at it. The exhaust has to wait for the $$ for a supertrapp or harley muffler.
The wiring I've done is directly off of the simplified diagrams in the tech section. Thanks guys!

Man! I love that fork! I thought you found a ducati at first!
No idea on the wiring, but I can't wait to see the end result! Clip-ons? Drag bars? Flat trackers?
Great work! Post updates!

Clipons on the way, and a manx tank waiting to go on the bike.
