I feel your pain , really is nice to have a hobby and in this case a wonderful group that is pure support.  I have been pulled from my shop for family duties.. one thing for certain, change is a certainty. Great group here.

I will add that FEDEX was the carrier for my Yambits order.

I ordered parts this week from Yambits, did not impact my cost from them. Ordered on Sunday evening and received on Wednesday. Cheers to Yambits.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you   Hope all goes as well as can be expected..

 double check your ground for the coil on that cylinder, also connections to the coil all the way back to battery source. does not take much resistance to reduce amperage available for the coil. Use a multi meter to check, be patient and thorough. It is the cumulative combination of multiple connections that can really reduce current draw to a component.

cool. I like the container, When QA strolls through I see you have bases covered by having procedure manual out and open. Very good sir. Im not sure on finish. I polished mine, but satin finish could be an option.

I set my stand up with original wheel and proceed from there.

It's such a pleasure doing business with Yambits. I placed an order on the 3rd and received it today the 7th.       

It all looks great to me, the cases and cylinders, great care in all your workmanship. that clutch cover looks really good.  sure miss my RZ. 

several tools and methods to check offset. here is one. bicycle or motorcycle the rim can be checked for center placement once mounted, and if needed the rim shifted by tension of spokes to make corrections. 

as far as offsets are concerned, I have always set up a wheel on my truing stand and brought my new rim to the same position as the old. I am sure there are some offsets on some wheels.  so I just use the original as point of reference for position of new on.  The fixture on my bench is an Artisan antique wheel truing stand it is at least one hundred years old. I have owned this stand for 27 yrs. It is missing some its components but I love it..

Thank you. I spent 15 years in the bicycle business , and building wheels for some of the local motorcycle shops and riders. I had ample practice. 

Thank you.  I'll spend about an hour to hour and a half on a wheel. It's therapeutic for me , so I don't really rush/push it.

Well indecision has led me to just polish on the outer flange and natural in the center, took the time to assemble the hub with new bearings and repack the speedo drive. Laced up and trued the front wheel, look to start on the rear wheel this week, hopefully it will happen.

Thanks, I have been thinking about semi gloss black just in the center of the hub.
