I picked up a used square barrel cylinder the is 77.45 bore. Would a 77.25 piston work? I tried a77.35 and it fit but seemed way too tight. Thanks Steve...
If you are to obtain a reasonable service life and reliable operation I've found that an accurate measurement of any used cylinder for taper/wear in the port...

Rick - Just a point of interest - are the shoes grooved? Who did you get them from? Are they riveted? Are the rivets solid or hollow? Could the rivet heads...
I believe the brake shoes for the later bikes (up to end of drum brakes) and the '74 are the same. I use the same shoes on my bikes from 1973-1981 - EBC...

where can the walnut shell media be found ? any changes need to be made to the blast gun ( nozzle ). i have heard of walnut shell being used before but i have...
I agree with Al, for engine parts walnut shell is best. Any residue left will not adversly affect engine parts. I think glass bead is ok on any external parts....
