removed the motor !!

i have been debating whether i should make my bike a 900cc bike , i found that samurai pistons are the right size and so is the wrist pins, but the amount of machining involved in that was going to cost to much, and the only company that makes aftermarket pistons is wisco for the xs1100, but yet again cause to much, DARN Recession!!!  so i decided to do xs850 jugs, and the 750 head, and i think that while i got it apart im going to go threw everything, and check it all out and replace what i can.

             the motor is sorta hard to get out but that isent the worst part the worst part is that it is so heavy, way heavier than i thought it was and i ended up hurting my back so tareble that the next day was shot, and the days after that where unpleasant, but got the motor out, and then started taring it down a cupple days later, and got a little help to get it up on the table to do the tare down and rebuild. today i had some trubble with the rotor, i need a bolt to thred into it to "pull it off" so i went everywhere that sold bolts to try to find one and that turrned out to be a bust.

hydraulic clutch conversion

i bought a fzr 1000 clutch slave cylinder off eBay and then made brackets for it, and had to grind a little bit of the lip off of the slave cylinder as seen in the picture below. then bought a gsx steal braided hydraulic  line and i cant remember what bike the master cylinder came off of. ill have to post that the next time i post.
    i got it put together the first time and the 1989 slave cylinder i got off ebay was leaking and needed to be rebuilt, so i rebuilt it and then i realized that even though it seemed secured, the brackets i made kept moving when i  pushed in the clutch. so it had to be modified further, eventually i got it working good. Now that its done i think that only thing i gained was that i don't have to worry about my cable binding, because of my clip on bars. it takes about the same amount of pressure to engage the clutch and i think i actuality added more weight to the bike. hear are some pictures of the first mounting hardware. ill post some more pictures of the modified mounting brackets.
