[QUOTE="Rednaxs60, post: 220544, member: 4617"] My journey and journal continues. Good progress today. Only criteria I have each day is to progress the project, even if it's only a small item. Bled the clutch and brake systems. Have Speedbleeders installed so I can do this work solo. Had to use the vacuum pump to get the fluid started in the brake system. Ran out of DOT 4 brake fluid, but will get more tomorrow. Nice to hear the clutch movement. Did some wiring for the manual rad fan switch and indicator light. Added 4 litres of oil to the engine. Installed the front fairing bracket so I could install the alternator. Finally did an alignment of the crank and alternator pulleys with a piece of 1" angle aluminum. It will be straight enough for this type of alignment check:[ATTACH type="full" alt="Alternator alignment.jpg"]21260._xfImport[/ATTACH]Alignment was good considering when I did the initial install it was an "eyeball" alignment. Changed out the OEM rad fan for one from an 1800. Spent a bit of time getting the rad installed, had to move some wires - will do final wire routing when buttoning up the engine compartment:[ATTACH type="full" alt="Alt - Rad Install.jpg"]21261._xfImport[/ATTACH]Coolant fill this weekend. Have had a Morosso spacer for some time but never installed it. Decided this was a good time to install it:[ATTACH type="full" alt="Morosso Spacer.jpg"]21262._xfImport[/ATTACH] Have installed a new speed sensor from a 750 Honda. Same install and wire colour identification. Had to make a jumper because the the OEM connector at the airing harness and on the speed sensor were female ends. The jumper is two male ends. [/QUOTE]
