Work on the Meatjammer continues...
throw the old junk in the corner.
Here's where things got interesting... The 'new' motor would only shift to 3rd gear, ended up being a shifter fork issue. I swapped all the transmission parts from my '78 over into the older (pre-'77) engine. Those that know SOHC 750's will know where i'm going with this... '77-78 Honda changed to a 630 drive chain, and consequently needed a longer output shaft. So, i figured, easy enough, swap the output shaft over as well, right? Nope. Shaft is not only longer, the bearing location changed. So i had to machine the '78 shaft to the earlier dimenion.
Got the rest of the engine all assemebled, and now back in the bike and running great!
Got the top-end back on Outlaw's shovel, starting to look like a bike again!
Did some paint work on a helmet for a friend
