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:

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.
