The 650 rebuild is finished. It’s running pretty damn good. Going easy on it for the first few hundred miles.
Here’s what I did in the last step:
- Re-did my wiring, I cut out about half my wires. Props to Adam!
- Installed oil cooler
- Spot-painted frame
- Re-mounted gauges lower and tighter
- Installed new rings, assembled engine. Props to Nick!

- Original wiring

- Shit we cut out

- New wiring… streamlined!

- Ready for the engine to go back in

- All back together

- Gauges mounted lower and tighter

- Custom headlight switch, mounted in fork ear
- Oil cooler adapter plate which makes the entire cooler set-up work, purchased from: www.randakks.com
Thanks to everyone who helped. Couldn’t have done it without you guys. Extra special thanks to Adam, for his intricate wiring knowledge, and Nick for his master engine expertise.

Myself, Adam, and Max took a trip up to Jim Thorpe this week to see Old Crow Medicine Show play at Penn’s Peak. They played a great show and we got to the chance to do some off- the- beaten path camping on some PA State Game Lands. Max lead us on some crazy good roads on the way home as well… Good times…mick


Penn’s Peak is really on a peak. The view was awesome.


We followed this gravel road a good half mile before finding a suitable camping spot.

Sleeping on the tall grass was really comfortable.

Max setting up his tent which was wool blanket draped off the monster.

Middle of no-where camping… awesome.

I have to say we had a hell of a time on this trip up to Jim Thorpe. Thanks to state gameland 141 we were able to renegade camp for free in a really nice, quiet spot. Im really glad Adam and Mick were willing to chance it with me on finding a place to camp there. The whole trip couldnt have gone better. Thanks again guys!
