OK, watch this video... It was by and far the best video I could find on this installation and well done in my opinion

Project Charity bike is on deck and ready for re-assembly.

*When installing a freshly painted frame onto a freshly painted engine you are much better off taking the bike completely apart. Anything less will result in cosmetic damage

..for me this was a test run. The paint on the engine is not sticking well at all. Look for a post about getting good finish from rattle cans shortly

OK, not a plug, but just because I am still amazed at how amazing these batteries are..

I don't get paid to shout this.

I have tried the following batteries and am sorely disappointed:

Shorai

Ballistic

Yuasa AGM

Lead Acid Wet batteries (remember AGM and Gel are in Lead Acid Category too)

Some yellow battery AGM super brand thing for only $200

..and misc other expensive batteries that suck

Here is the gist, I keep and store more motorcycles than any one person should. I am constantly looking for a battery that will be able to sit 6 months at a time with minimal maintenance (almost none) and the ability to be small and still crank over my high compression engines. 

 - p.s. Remember to get a good quality trickle charger anyway ($30-$50)

Here are the details of each

Lith Ion or Iron batteries are a Joke - don't waste your money - The only benefit to these batteries are weight. These are no good regardless of your personal experience - The instant coffee of batteries

AGM - Great for use on an everyday bike, Higher cranking output for size....one big problem They Sulfate. If you don't know what that means - it does the same thing as a Standard Lead Acid battery and fails when sitting - Save your money (p.s. These are also the heaviest batteries)

No Namers - These are batteries you bought on Amazon or Ebay that were a great deal, but they will only last a year at best, rarely produce advertised CCA and AH and generally are made of bubble gum and pop-sickle sticks. These are OK for the kick start customs you ride...not for an elec start big motor hot rod

My Personal Best... GEL batteries by Bike Master

Why? I've tried them all in the last 15 years and most suck.

The Battery in my 1979 Honda CB750 is 7 years old!!! I pushed the button last night and she fired off like it was ridden yesterday (sitting almost a year!) And get this! The battery is a 4AH!

I have consistently run batteries waaaaayyyy too small for the engine and have great results

Bene #2 - They don't Sulfate! This is really big. If you have not taken this int account then do some homework on it. This is the reason batteries fail when sitting

Finally - Price is Right! I just bought another (YTZ7S) on Amazon for $50 free shipping. The Same AGM battery is $100 and a Ballistic is $159! WTF!

My Morning Rant - I hope this helps and it will likely confuse some. Maybe my experiences will help you a bit more than the $15 an hour salesman at Batteries Minus trained to vomit the cue-cards in your face on why LIPO or LiFi or whatever is the best. Save that crap for your cordless drill and get a Gel battery

After 3 nights with a drill, polish and bleeding fingers it is done, Removed spokes one by one, then trued. never again. Project H-One has a sharp set of heavy hoops now.

Pops and I built a Mezzanine with pallet wood! I know right! Total investment less than $ 200 and now we have a 8x16 platform to hold more parts and junk bikes!!

In the name of science and also because the mint "pepto bismuth" smell of the wintergreen oil was beginning to bring back my lunch, I split the tire at the finger. My rational was temperature. I assume the shop will have a different temperature by the time I perform the after testing.
Since I had extra in my small soup can I coated the pegs and kicker rubber too.
...the whole block smells of wintergreen oil. It stays with you like a bad decision

Success!! After sitting for only 10 minutes I was too anxious so I grabbed the meter. Only 10 Minutes!! a change of 13 Points!!! The gauge is reading at 68. That is the same as a spankin new Bridgestone BT race tire and the feel is so soft. 
Talking to the rep at Thor oil this is INTENDED for this purpose. Apparently racers are too frugal to purchase new tires every race so this is the antidote. Pfft! new tires every race! I will happily coat my tires with wintergreen all the while risking the wrath of the misses when I come home smelling like I fell into a vat of Icy Hot. http://thoroil.com $20

The classic motorcycle tire you and I are looking for are either worn out from burnouts after a six pac, dried out like an elbow in the desert, or just no longer of interest to the manufacturers. 
What is that you say? Coker makes tires for old bikes! NO! They make tires for Antique bikes that are priced for the affluent crowd. They do not make the original Bridgestone tires for this 1970 CB175. 

Here it is, the Ubiquitous "Before" test. I splurged on this unit from amazon at 26 bucks. I figured it was worth it for the test considering this was in the name of Motorcycle Science!

In the picture you see a wonderful glare from the light just barely obscuring the reading of 81. Compared to my testing earlier in the day on new and used car tires this is a "hard" tire. Forget the fact that it is horribly cracked. .....and yes, I do ride it this way
