Btw there is no way to remove a Malossi cylinder by pulling one end of the kingpin and tilting. It hits the body no matter what. Had to pull the pin entirely. Shoulda just done the studs again.
Mostly there, gotta finish up tomorrow with exhaust and other misc bits.

Easy 60 on that kit without much effort. I'm not even thrashing it yet. I didn't port match, I didn't get a cut crank, didn't open the inlet, nothing but a sito plus. Great kit.

I used a #3 slide on a build with a Mazzy 60mm crank, a Malossi 166, no packing plate, relieved Stella head and SI 20/20 on an '08 Stella. It tapped out at 65, but could carry the front tire in second gear.
Glad you're enjoying the results!

first, can anyone identify the mystery washers in the marked up photo above?
next:
part 2018 - what is that thing?
part 15982 - it goes on the inside of the bearing? what is it? i didn't see one on the allstate fork
part s.13810 - is it a seal or ?
part 32381 - what is that, a cover of some sort?
part 32386 - its some sort of extra flatt washer, but not the same as the one next to it s.3060?
likewise, what is s.3060?
part 32389, looks like an odd shaped washer, but i don't see one in my parts stash
part 8440, looks like the speedo gear rests against it, but what is it, where does it go?
part s.13853 - some sort of washers in between the speedo gear and the metal bit?
edit - I will ask more focused questions below, i found a lot on SIP
PS this sucks

I seem to have found it all on SIP except for 15982 that goes inside the right side axle bearing. anyone know what it is???
Part
also - do I have to use the loose bearing setup or can I use a caged lower bearing? if i used a caged one, do I need to use a different dust shield? will it force me to update the race in the frame? what can I buy to avoid using loose bearings on top and bottom if possible?
i saved a cart full of stuff at SIP, will have Mercato order it but I needed to keep track.

You can use caged bearings. I used these on my GL and I think on my VBB, too.
Way better than dealing with loose needle bearings.

No, you can use caged bearings there, too. I did it if my VBB. You can even swap those to angular bearings, too.

I have the bearings already - they work ok on the races for the loose ball setup? I think at a minimum I'll still need a lower race for the lower bearing. Maybe I have one on one of my other allstate forks. that would save me $50.

No hurry at all. It looks like the Allstate fork has one from my picture above. Oddly - no dust shield but yes a race. This is the hardest part of a bitsa bike - no model to work from and no tear down pics.

Yeah...race but no dust shield. I think the dust shield is considered a single use part, though, and super-cheap to replace. I can't say from the angle of that picture, but that race kind've looks like it's been through the wars.
I'm going to make a wild guess, but IIRC, you can't install the mudguard onto the fork with the dust shield in place, so I'm going to guess someone either ripped it off to get the mudguard on or removed it to put the mudguard on and damaged it enough that they threw it away and ran without it to keep the project rolling.
Like you said, though...you get a bitsa bike, you never quite know what went on before it came into your hands...

scooter mercato order has been submitted
marketing pitches from Kajiit can be avoided at this time (but he always gets me sooner or later)

rustoleum pro or their "hard hat" line are great for suspension components. the "pro" you can get at home desperate and the "hard hat" they or Woes sometimes carries. if you care to wait, Grainger has it.
they also make a high performance wheel paint that dries hard as balls and wears well.

I used VHT Ford Argent Silver Wheel Paint for Chris's GL front end. It came out fantastic. Also put three coats of clear.
Thanks to ExMayor for the paint combo I used...
Here is the batch I bought at AutoZoner

I'm not sure I like that so silvery. More gray might have been better.
