Update:
Cylinder block has been bored to match a set of Wiseco pistons.
Competition Cycle did the machine work.
"Marla" has been disassembled to just the engine and the frame. Getting the engine...

I constructed a special dolly for Marla. The dolly holds on to the frame of the motorcycle, thus allowing me to remove the wheels, kickstand and center stand, as well as half of the frame, when I...

An important detail about this motorcycle is that I've removed the parts, inspected the parts, reassembled them and managed to get the bike running again.

To me, that is something uncommon.

Bump!

Again:
Can anyone recommend a shop for my engine work?

I bought the engine. I'll get to tearing Marla down later this week.

I'm looking for an engine shop to bore out my cylinders (possibly sleeve). Any recommendations?

You are correct when you say that it will "go forever," but this bike's engine has lost a significant amount of pressure in two of its cylinders.

I was riding through Brookfield about 3 weeks ago...

I agree eleventy thousand percent!!!

One of my buddies has plans for a Mad Max party some time in August. He makes one hell of a Lord Humongous. He's a bit of a leather-fetishits-kinkster, so...

I tore the bike apart and found this. More pics on this later on. That shift for is missing about 3mm of its thickness.

I was spinning my old tire before I replaced it. That tire was about 20 years old and would spin at 50% throttle and low revs in second gear. The lack of throttle-input, alond with the stationary...

Insight:
I thought my clutch was slipping because the engine would spin but the speedo did not change. When mounting the front wheel, I saw that the speedo links to the front wheel. My clutch was...

I drilled out some 1/4 inch washers and shimmed all of the springs, but this made the clutch too heavy to open. I removed half of the shims (3 of 6) and put it all back together.

This bike...

I measured the thickness of the plates on the new clutch and they are only 0.001 off from mine.

I'm thinking that it is either the springs, the cable, or the plates are saturated with "friction...

I was snooping around on Google when I came across a CL add for a CB900c clutch in Sun Prairie. I emailed the guy and he contacted me back 20 minutes later. Two hours later, I bought a complete...

I put some new rubber on the bike.

Aside from the backlash in the drivetrain, nothing feels loose on this bike. Prior to the new tires, the bike felt a bit odd as I entered turns. I thought the...

Clutch removal:

I ground down a cheap, old socket and turned it into a lock nut socket. Aside from making the tool, this bike has been easy to work on.

A little more about "Marla":
She smokes...in the morning, after riding for a while, after a good thrashing.
She is modified...i'm not sure what is factory...one mirror is square and the other is...

Hello BCMers.

After nearly 2 years since the loss of my 07 Sportster, I wanted a motorcycle again. I bought a Honda CB900C.
