Old fart newbie


Recommended Posts

Hey everybody, just signed up. Bought a Shee back in '94. It was local independent dealer's hare scramble bike that had just underwent a front to back. Rode the piss outta it for many years and has been parked in the shed for last ten. Trying to get back into the swing of things as a buddy bought a 500 zilla.  

 

The ole girl is ready for a fresh motor, and thinking big bore. Not sure yet, as I have not had much time for research, been out of the loop for a long time and trying to re-learn everything. Anyway, figured I'd say hi and will be asking quite a few questions in the upcoming days.

Welcome!

 

A lot of things have changed since 94, you don't even to get a big bore kit now adage you can get different mono block cylinders. Long rod cranks, port work, endless array of pipes and carbs, reeds, chrome parts, clutches lockup, just depends how much money you wanna spend

Id replace the old stock crank with a 4mil. Perhaps a 4mil serval or 4mil stock cylinder bike with port work. I think a forum sponsor who does port work can best help you. Tell him what you want and yall can work on your needs and budget. Id also split the cases and replace seals and bearings since it's sat for so long.

Thanks for the welcomes, one of the machine screws that hold on a plate behind clutch went through the RH crank seal and cracked a tooth on primary drive gear attached to the crank. I have the parts ready to put on, and motor is pulled. Not sure how many extra $$$ I'm ready to put in it right now.

 I'll try to find a pic or two and get it posted.
