ok so im faily back into building a project my wifes zr 550 zephyr
its her build and she is learning how 2 build we have striped the back and front ends and mock fitted the forks(gsxr 750) arm(zrx1100)and rim and tyres(5.5/3.5).
this brings me to why im posting i was going to ask if it was ok to scribe aine on ends of the pivet housing and gind the clearance need for the arm 2 slide into place or that was it best to machine...
i had preety much thought that it was only cleance and the clotet was only thing that would need machineing.
had a think and come up with this ,only took a few mins to make up and would be easy for most people to come up with something same
all i did was find some bar at the same size as pivet axel, i was lucky and found some percision ground bar(just means ground 2 be really 20 mm not 19.85 as norm eg) measered the colet bore ( 20.1) so really a nice fit( no slop but fluid free movement) but any bar would do

i then just put in drill and put a 8 mm hole in it with a 6 mm grub screw in it to hold a peice of tool steel(a old twist drill ground right would do as well). the idea of this is to just put my drill on the end and use the bar 2 glide the cutter so it is square to the pivet housing and just cut till i have my clearance(still have to measure)

i have only posted in case this is any use to any of you, i havnt tried it yet it might work like shit but with low revs right presure there is no reason
it shouldnt cut nice and have no chatter .when i get a chance ill try it might find some good grinder work still best lol but prefer better fininsh if i can and like i said only took under 30 mins work
