Thanks for the link mraxl, that tells me what I need to know, all the jets and needles look fine, think I will replace the float needle valves with viton tipped and new bowl gaskets.

Man, how times flies, it's been over 2 years since I worked on the triple, life and other projects got in my way, never sent my crank to Charlie(hope he is still rebuilding them) I'm in position to restart the project. I let some little Honda's and a Military jeep get in the way, I'm going to rededicate myself to this long awaited, and probably favorite project. I do have my paint for the project, going with Mopar orange over a pearl base, I sprayed a sample, doesn't look bad. Glad to be back, if you are Honda Mini fans, or military guys, these were my last projects, hoping to be asking many questions soon.

We'll look forward to your progress reports!

Now it's time to get my priorities in order, back on the H1, glad I got my little Honda's finished, my 2 sons have been wanting those finished for several years. Been getting my bodywork ready for paint, my question is, are the rebuild kits for the calipers and the M/C of good quality? I would like to rebuild these. I see there are cheap aftermarkets available, who would be some preferred vendors for the rebuild kits? Thought the ol' schoolr's would like the lil Honda's.

Been soaking the m/c for a couple days now, I read the How-to and figured it would be a tough job, my first clip was rusted and locked into place, just bending tips on my picks. Finally gave up and decided to drill a small hole just far enough down to get a pick under it, came right out, not much problem with the second, it came right out. I had to drive the plunger out from the backside with an 1/8 punch, after all of that, I think the bore will clean up fine.

Getting a few things done while Charlie is rebuilding my crank, bought new Mikuni float valves and new bowl gaskets, need to put the carbs in the ultrasonic, glad to see they were in good shape. Got the caliper rebuild kit in, it's all cleaned up and ready for assembly.

Can anyone tell me where the flasher mount mounts on the frame? having hard time finding any pics of the wiring harness routing, unfortunately, I didn't get to take it apart, so going back blind, another question, does the harness run down the left side of frame?

Thanks, that's a big help and a nice build, hope mine is half that sweet.

Making a little headway, need to order some old school looking tires, I think I have the wiring harness laid out correctly(maybe), my caliper rebuild is holding, no drips yet. I'm thinking of ordering a service manual, what's preferred? I'm sure I will have a million questions before this build is over.
