I'm sick of this project :( My pockets are empty. Nothing fits together. Parts from different models. I bought new type carburetors, I bought a new type AIRBOX, a new THROTTLE CABLE, and now my THROTTLE GRIP doesn't fit :( I'll give away a bottle of good whiskey who will sell me one...

I'm getting my engine back from the mechanic this month, I wonder if I'll be able to complete everything :cry:

I mentioned the difference two posts back.
That's the twistgrip for the J/K models with a single cable pull.
But you can't stop now - it's nearly 'there'.

My English is poor, sometimes I may not understand :cry: Do I have to buy the whole thing including the killswitch. Or Is the upper part identical?
There is nothing on ebay. And new at a cosmic price. There are no used parts at all in Poland. There are probably only a few GT550s in Poland.
I don't think I'll ever finish the project. I hope there will be no more problems while assembling the engine.
If anyone saw for sale twistgrip, please let me know... :(

Looks like it. Is the twistgrip part there as well? Remember that the early and late twistgrips do not exchange

Twistgrip is missing. But I think I'd sooner buy it on ebay

There are 3 sets of gaskets available in Poland. Which one to choose. It looks like they are designed for iron barrels :( Which kit should I buy? Or where to buy a kit for my motorcycle
