the oil lines look PRO! Nice work on the clamps.
I love the Swiss cheese look.Very cool.
Do u have a Dana2000 to run the tack?

I have not decided on ignition but the Dyna 2000 seems to be the best choice. If I use the Vapor that would seal it. no tach cables spinning around and slopping oil.

The roller should be complete by Saturday 28th. I sketched one out, and since I got no lathe in the garage, Ed the magical tool maker has graciously volunteered to make 2.

I am thinking this is the ticket, so you get to test fire it. The roller would hold up real good with a bearing, but the bushing wieghs a whole lot less, and the only thing its for is so the Nylon roller gets spun a littel instead of gouged.

I really really appreciate this kind of information, a photo, so i can guess about how big it is, and I was wondering about the SV 650 thing, which you answered before I even asked.

Thank you thank you.

The vapor it is. That should be about winter though, the track will no doubt reveal some gremlin i will have to chase around.

Ha! Yeah, you KNOW better than that! If I wasn't poor broke they'd be hearing from me on a daily basis...but you can't whine about what you can't afford!

Well the Header, is on it's way back from Performance Coatings in Seattle. Got a ceramic coat of black, with the silencer getting a coat of what they call "satin titainium".

The two Chain rollers for the upper engine mount are getting made today I hope.

Friday we got the right side shock bracket done with good results. However, I must have overlooked the left side. Now I need a second bracket to move the left swingarm shock mount. I guess thats Engineering change request number.....dam where's the log?? I have lost track now:P

I was starting to think in a couple weeks the thing would be on the track, not so sure now. A bit of a set back. Ed the magicical machinist is making the second mount. I will be in debt to him, which means more Honda 90 work, scheduled in front of the KZ. Ed is a Bicycle builder first, Motorcycle helping Ted second. I just dam glad he is helping.

Photo of "new problem"....

Need I say more....

I sepnt about a day looking at the stock mounting of the coils. The aftermarket coils get the spark plug nipples jammed into the frame, when you bolt them on the stock brackets. Nobody likes they nipples jammed.

So I made a set of brackets out of 1/8" aluminum, the brackets are bolted to the stock mounting holes. The coils sit on top of the brackets, horizontal like.

Now the nipples just stick out in the free air...ahhhh. Kind of like Berkley in the early 70's.

AHhhhh yes you need say no more....

Ok been trying to put a book together with all this tuff, and i actually found some photos of the bike in 2003 before we took it all apart.....

Well you know, we made some progress in the last couple weeks. Ed si going off to some bicycle building seminar, i am left to solve things on my own.

Ed was kind enough to loan me some advice, and some Scotch, to help solve the remaining issues....

Something old, something new.... something Italian....

something.........

Smooooooooothhhhh...

Sort of stealing your topic a bit, but for those that have installed aftermarket swingarms, are your shocks spread farther apart at the arm mounts then at the frame mounts? Just like tk11b40 shows, how much difference have you run into? Looks like most aftermarket arms or OEM arms being used with wider tires would have to have the shocks tilted out at the arm mounts. What have you run into? Now....back to the original topic!

Thats actually a good question.

I have had people tell me the shocks can be tilted, but i find it hard to believe.

It seems like you would have binding as you compress the rear suspension. The shocks need to be paralell in my opinion, for freedom of movemment.

when i built my swingarm i had to build spacers to move the top of my shocks out to be even with the bottom.having them angled in may work ,but offended my sense of neatness .

Mark,
Roller is done, e-mail a shipping address. I'll mail it to ya.

The roller is done, well roller prototype. Thanks to Mark for heading off a problem I would have had later. No doubt been all upset about it.

The ceramic coating is done on the header, Performance Coatinfs in Seattle, nice work. Good service.
