I had a copy of MasterCAM from my working days, but apparently the program decided to retire when I did. I can no longer get it to work. I loved drawing stuff in that program too...

I am totally fine with that.

I got my DR650 clutch hub today. I also picked up the engine parts from the machine shop. This is the new to me (used) hub. Very little wear, the marks from the disc tabs are hardly noticeable when you run your fingers over them.

I never would let any customer parts with burrs leave my shop, but this is light work and really no big deal. I went with a diameter of .875" and lowered the spring seats .040".

Now I need the material to show up so I can continue on my mid mount foot controls. My new piston is on the way, so once all the top end is back from the engine shop I should be ready to start cleaning and reassembling the engine. After I complete the mid controls I will be ready for a major powder coat run - frame, triple clamps, swing arm, seat/tail support frame, and the front fork sliders.

I've taken Dec and Jan off cause it's too darn cold in my shop (35F) . Cheers!

I have a well insulated shop. 6" walls, insulated roll up doors, and the ceiling is insulated as well. Lately it has been in the teens in the morning here (12 today), but the coldest I have seen inside the shop is 46. With my wood burning stove it takes around an hour to an hour and a half to bring it up to 68 degrees.

I mentioned already that the Lancer piston arrived. It showed up in a velvet bag, which is fitting since this thing looks like jewelry!!!

Also a very nice piece! I haven't figured out what the four phillips pan head screws are for yet. Anyone know first hand?

Today I will be cutting foot control brackets. I found one of my timing chain guides was bent. Not sure how that happened, but had to address it.
