Looks gorgeous.
Nice little grommet fitting for the braided stainless through headset. As soon as I saw the pictures of the wires - I knew it was a SIP speedo... Wish they would put low profile connectors on there and just color coordinate them. No matter how hard I try to create a clean set of connections in my headset - it just ends up stuffed... Are those home fabricated throttle and gear wheels? |

This makes me glad I held off on picking up a SIP speedo now, as much as I want one. I have already gone from "this headset is absolutely CAVERNOUS" on my GL to "Who the hell thought this little tiny headset was a good idea?" with all the extra electronics I have jammed in there. I'm not sure *how* I'm going to make do with the teeny tiny VBB headset this time around.

Getting there. Finished with the cables, CDI, kickstart and electrics inside the carb bay. The aluminum "rollers" Ned asked of in the previous pics were ditched and I found an original set to put in. They wouldn't align with the bracket that holds the cables, whatever I tried. Thanks goes to SIP for their shitty products...
Need to finish with the electrics inside the headset, shorten the speedo cable, bleed the front brake, install the carb, rear hub / wheel, exhaust and we're ready to fire up (hopefully till Saturday)... Few pics... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

I start making solid progress on my VBB and suddenly you're all over the forward progress again, too. I see how this works...
![]() It's a minor detail, but I love that blacked out kickstart lever. I may need to track down one of those for myself. Beautiful looking work, as always. I'm looking forward to some video of it in action! |

The voodoo comment goes for Chandler's 13mm missing wrench... Our "Special" build is a hole different story. Jinxed from the beginning. Twisted frame, broken engine cases, wrong clutch cover, shitty new shiny parts and the list goes on ![]() ![]() ![]() |

A bit more progress and one more setback. Exhaust doesn't line up with the mounting bracket and hits the frame from the inside. Manifold looks like it wasn't bent correctly or exhaust was welded wrong, so I now need to find a way to get one of them to the correct angle...

Don't have any experience with it, and unfortunately doesn't help your cause, but I think I saw an interview with egig on him mentioning only the egig unisex is the only exhaust they produce where you don't need to modify the frame…
Too little room around the engine? |

Tomorrow's GO day!!! Rear brake is done, oil's in. Finished with the electrics inside the headset, exhaust was "persuaded" into place, drilled, tapped and moved the stator's multiplug a bit to the left cause it was fouling the frame and made a new CDI bracket to mount the CDI near the shock, cause it was also fouling the frame at the top, using the PK's original CDI bracket. Of course, the stator's wires needed also to be lengthened and finally, I made a new choke cable cause the one that came with the CP24 came out short cause of the different manifold we're using...
So, to sum it up, a PK engine is NOT a direct fit to a V50 frame... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()
