Ok so I got some shit done over the weekend becuase the fam was out of town. But as always I didnt get as much done as I wanted too and didnt get to do muh of anything on the gas tanks. So I realized tonight that the tubing I used for my handlebars is 1-1/8" outside diamter rather than 1" OD which is a standard size for grips and throttles. So what the hell, make new bars? No I may have to cut the ends of and weld on one inch pieces or something. Overall not a big deal. I also cut and welded the exhaust pipe to change the direction becuase it was in the way of the kicker pedal. I also set up the exhaust pushrod by moving it out away from the cylinder. Im not sure if this is really gonna work. Here is some boring info on a the motor I am using. When the cam turns the cam lobe pushes up on a lifter that lools like a mini valve so its metal on metal. There are no bearings or anything to keep it in alignment as the cam turns. So the lifter which travels up and down in a guided path can also spin. If it spins this could move the pushrod put and away from the its orginal alignment. Make sense? IT doesnt matter I'll find out when it is running. It will work or it will break I guess. Here are some pics.
