YAY!!1! *dances*
Mine shiftkit showed up yesterday at work and it was all I could do to not bail out early and flee home to mess around with it lol, this thing has been holdin' me up a lil as I needed it to figure out where the forward motor mount needs to be. Not that I didn't have other stuff to do ofc, but it's a pretty major step. Can't fault the guys o'er at SBP tho - Murphy pounced the opportunity and no sooner than I managed to save up me shiny pennies, they were sold out. Once they restocked it was here in about four days - not bad considering I'm in the middle of nowhere heh.
So whilst I was waitin' and unable to make screaming death noises on my fenders (something 'bout housemates and 4am pfft), I cracked open the new Grubee yesterday morning jus' to see wassup. Sure 'nuff the intake, exhaust, and transfer ports are beggin' for the ol' Dremel. Lotsa pitting and casting flash to get rid of to say the least

Gettin' there lol - still need to actually polish them but hadta throw it
all back together so I didn't get crap in the motor while I fitted the jackshaft;
and the Rollfast becomes a three piece crank;
and the jackshaft fitted to the motor;
I must say it's a pleasant change of pace switching from the sloppy engine kit to the stuff made by SBP - everything's machined so well! The HD freewheel bearing is a freakin' work of art, all the bolt holes line up
perfectly and the bearings seat so well it's
almost needful to press them. Im geek 'nuff I did just sit there for awhile and spin the freewheel bearing jus' cause it made me giggle...
Tease me 'bout that and I'll ban you o.o
lol - I'm kidding...
