These are the little brass fittings that the soldered wire end slips into so that it can attach to the throttle twist grip. The one on the right was damaged, the left one was made from a piece of 1/4...

Buying all new control cables (not speedo and tach) for the bike would apparently run around $200. Having promised Bonnie I would try to keep costs under control, I looked into building the cables my...

I determined that since the original screws are enough larger than the repro ones, that I could drill and re-tap the body for the original screws. After buying the special taps, I probably would have...

The throttle twist grip assembly is a two cable unit. The housing halves were in good shape except for severely pitted chrome on the top half.  ...

The first problem solver……….get rid of that pitted, ratty points cover………a nice finned cover……very cool....

Whilst I was idly passing time I've been seriously considering the kick-start problem. This is the problem caused by moving the foot pegs back into the swinging arc of the kick-start. Thus.... &n...

Unlike the left switch cluster, the right one needed some internal repair. I had done some resoldering in this switch long ago, and at least one connection didn't hold. Plastic parts respond to a go...

The T100 needs a skid plate……….something like Bast Brothers Welding used to make for the west coast desert racers. I found the photo above at Show & Go Cycle Shop blogspot. I wish I could call up...

Got the fromt turn signals done. The turn signal assemblies on this bike are Japanese units. They aren't the same as what is shown in my parts manual, and I believe I must have installed them for so...

The oil pressure sender (just a switch in this case), and the oil pressure relief are connected directly to the high pressure gallery from the oil pump that feeds the crankshaft. The relief valve is...

Here are the pieces of the headlight bucket assembly and front wiring harness.  Installed a new weather grommet.  I used a dielectric grease on the electrical connections.  There...

Worked on the headlight bucket and internal wiring this week. Beyond the fact that I had a cracked headlight lens from some past embarassment, the chrome on the headlight bucket and rim looked pretty...

The fourth replacement wire had a bullet connector on the other end to interconnect with the rear harness. The replacement connector ia not identical to the original, but is compatible. This bullet...

Started to look at the wiring harness a week or so ago. The wiring on this bike consists of two main wiring harnesses.  One connects to the stuff in the headlight shell as well as the front...

Time to mount headlight and taillight………I bought an aluminum number plate from Speed & Sport…….I made these mounts for the plate, they bolt to the gauge pod holes. Once the plate is in position th...

  So, when I cracked the cases there was some evil looking gunge that looked like rotted aluminium in the triangular void at the front of the engine....

The exposed sides of the tank and cover were painted with about six coats each of black and clear lacquer, hand rubbed after each three coats. This series shows the progression of the final finishing...

The exhaust adapters…………Tri-Angle Metal Fab made the rough blanks, I bored them, notched them, and took some material off of the outer surface. They press into the heads and the Factory Metal Works pi...

 In parallel with the oil tank I was also working on the tool cover of similar shape that goes on the other side of the bike. There is no earthly way to do a good job stripping, cleaning, or pai...
