I reckon a Rg500 calliper hanger is what you want, 210mm, should fit the sv calliper..
Si - it's about as much of a roll as I ever manage... ;-)
Gammaboy - thanks for the heads-up, I've had a look at a couple of RG hangers, and while they look like they could be made to work they have got a steel and rubber sleeve for the spindle, which could be an issue. I might just get one to see whjat bore the hole is if the sleeve is pressed out...
Meanwhile, the cheapo Aldi-bought Dremel copy got some action...

The amount of difference it'll make, performance wise, is totally negligible, but it makes me happy doing it...

Hey mate, measured one up that I've got here, didn't even notice the rubber bush! Anyway, 32mm if you press the rubber out, I'd just press it and knock up a top hat spacer to suit if it was me...
As it happens, as I was lying awake at about 2am this morning, I realised that pressing out the rubber bushing and using a top hat spacer would not only suit the 25mm spindle but meant that I could get the spacing sorted without extra loose spacers... Game on! Thanks GB!
I pulled out the standard battery box to see how much room I was going to have to fit a new (larger) battery.

And then went for a wander around t'interweb to see what kind of battery would suit my needs. I wanted a bigger battery as the standard acid battery (as per the original Z650) wasn't really man enough for the 1100 engine when I ran it before, it'd kick back on the starter, so I wanted something that not only had the potential to spin the starter a bit faster, for a bit longer, but also one that would have no issues with continually running the oil pump I'm going to use to lubricate the turbo. And that oil pump was (temporarily) mounted here...

Although I'm starting to think twice about it sitting there, given that I have to fit the oil tank somewhere as well, in a place that the turbo oil can drain into it efficiently...

Shit; you should be able to find a good modern battery that will punch out a kick that will fit in that cavern easily!

Hint to fix the kick back, wire the starter so that you can spin it with the kill switch off - hit starter so it's spinning, once spinning hit kill so it has spark...
GB - was actually planning on doing the wiring so it could be span over with no spark, as I like the idea of checking for oil pressure before it fires and goes straight up to 2k rpm...
I'd had a look at various battery sizes on line and, having chosen one with a nice fat output, decided to mock up a cardboard version to see if it's fit. Although it didn't go according to plan at the first attempt...
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG02751.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG02751.jpg.html)
Fortunately, the second one was a bit better, so I could see how well it would fit, firstly longitudinally...
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG02781.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG02781.jpg.html)
Which, quite clearly, wasn't going to work, so I tried it crossways...
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG02771.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG02771.jpg.html)
Which is better, but it's clear that it could only go so far forward between the frame rails, and that the plastic mudguard (one of the few original Z650 parts) would have to be altered.

I do like the first attempt, reminds me of a few of mine.
I managed to get a second-hand Dyna 2000 (from a helpful chap on the Z1 Owners Club forum), so that's been stashed somewhere safe while I carry on with the battery box.
The battery turned out to actually be pretty close to the cardboard dummy that made, which was surely luck and/or coincidence more than my accuracy with cardboard. As that first effort kind of shows... Ahem.
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03071.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03071.jpg.html)
So after some judicious measuring of the frame area and the original steel battery box, I chopped up some more cardboard and made a faux battery box before I started cutting aluminium. as the new battery is wider (and taller) than the original, it's going to have to sit further back in the frame so, as I want to use the standard battery box mounting points, there was going to have to be a certain amount of offset in the box. which is why the cardboard one is too big from front to rear.
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03261.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03261.jpg.html)
And sliding the carboard battery box between the frame rails shows that some of the plastic rear mudguard / undertray thingy is going to have to be cut out to allow it to fit.
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03271.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03271.jpg.html)
Now to go and cut some 3mm aluminium...

Got plenty of clearance in front of the rear wheel for the box to protrude?
Yes Si, plenty of room. The Martek swinging arm is slightly longer than standard and, even with the wheel as far forward as it can go there's loads of clearance. The pic is probably a bit deceiving, I'll post another later that shows how much room there actually is.
Ally cut to size / shape and put in the el cheapo folder thaat I had stashed under the bench...
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03281.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03281.jpg.html)
And tried for size in the frame. Quite clear that the rear mudguard needs to be relieved...

So it was marked up thus

... had a chuffin great hole hacked in it, using my Dremel-a-like and rotary saw blade.

Although the saw did take a liking to a finger too. It's tasted blood now...

now you know your having fun when blood comes out , looking good so far , I have one of the moto batts in the vfr well over 3 years old and still going strong
I tacked a couple of pieces of ally plate to the front and back of the bent piece, with the back being bigger so as to hopefully cover the battery from any crap thrown up by the back wheel and going through the new hole in the undertray thingy... I'll add another piece at some point to hold the battery in place, although as it's going to be close to the underside of the seat, it'll not being going anywhere. I hope.

And then I welded up the joins. It's not very pretty, but better than my last attempts with the TIG. I'm using a foot pedal now, and I think that's helping.

As for ally tig, y is it I can weld everything
beautiful and yet struggle with fucking ally lol feeling yr pain
Ozzy - my ally welding is better than my MIG welding, which kind of tells you just how crap I am with a MIG...
So, battery box welded up with brackets added to hold the Mosfet all-singing regulator/rectifier, and the Dyna 200 unit (which will be held on with rubber straps / o-rings against a vibe-absorbing rubber pad), and ready to be slid into the frame once more...
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03661.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03661.jpg.html)
Buggeration. I'd measured up for the brakcet for the reg/rec, locating it neatly behind the right hand side panel. Completely forgetting that if I made the battery box any wider it'd not fit between the frame rails.
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03651.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03651.jpg.html)
What a prize prick! Hey-ho, back to the grinder again to chop off the offending bracket. The reg/rec will have to be located somewhere else, probably hanging below the battery box yet still on the right hand side.
ozzy1100
14-01-2015, 06:59 AM
Drill tap add later...
I added a piece to the base, so the reg/rec is still at the right-hand side, at the bottom of the sidepanel, so should get some airflow too.

And the battery box now slides into place, and it sits in position like this...

... with the reg/rec in place.
And from the other side, with the Dyna 2000 held in place temporarily with some tie wraps. It'll be either o-rings of rubber bands cut from inner tubes that hold it when finished.

I'd leave the zip ties :-)
With an aftermarket oil cooler set to replace the standard one, I had a root through my cooler stash in the cupboard, and set to making up some brackets.
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03061.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03061.jpg.html)
I'm going to mount the oil cooler off the two reflector mounts on the front frame down tubes, using rubber mounts like these bobbins, which were a nightmare to find, and chuffin' expensive too. Anyone know where they can be found cheap?
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03161.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03161.jpg.html)
As you can see from the above pic, I'd got some stainless steel tube to make the spacers, it just needed cutting down...
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03171.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03171.jpg.html)
And I made up a couple of 'ears' to hold the rubber mounts, that would need to be welded onto the cooler bracket.
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03181.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03181.jpg.html)

And then the bracket could have a bit taken out of the middle to make it look nicer...

Hmmm, might take a bit more off the upper mount to be able to run the oil lines a bit neater, but I think it's getting there?
are you also going to make lower mounts for the oil cooler mate? btw neat design, made me re think my own variants, i had 2 options, 1 is fix the oil cooler to the frame with U mounts which is simplier but uglier than option ii - welding ears straight to the i.c.'s lower tank. so im choosing var ii. maybe i'll also fab a V shaped lower mount from an ally or stainless steel rod, smth like 8mm od. i mean the top of the V would be fixed to the center of the lower panel of the oil cooler and the rays of the bloody V rod (lol) would be fixed to the engine's upper mounts, hopefully you get what i mean otherwise you will be able to see it in a while...
im talkin about my b12 this time fuck all those bikes haha!
ps have a lot of those rubber bushings of different types, some of oem intercoolers and oil coolers mutulated by me, some of side panel mounts etc, would throw em to you but itd be a mighty big throw
ozzy1100
07-02-2015, 04:21 PM
I like that
Surt - nah, just hanging off the two top mounts, like the standard GPz cooler. Although will probably add a rubber 'bumper' to the frame down tube for the bottom of the cooler to rest against, a bit like the cooler on a Bandit.;)
got it, i'll see if i have to add lower mount when i finish the upper ones. usually i judge by eye and feel lol

Very tidy. How's the gap between the headers and cooler? Another deceptive photo?
Yes Si, another deceptive pic... it's close, but there is clearance. I wanted to have the cooler as low as I could so that it wouldn't interfere (as much) with the steering lock. ;)
So, a mere ten months later, ahem.
This is just a bit of advance warning - I wouldn't want you getting all shocked and hyperventilating - but I've done some more stuff on the Zed. Pics uploading right now...

Although as I've been doing various jobs on various parts - exhaust, inlet manifold, engine breather tank, rear light mount etc - nothing has actually been properly finished, so this is going to end up looking really random unless I group the pics together when each part is completed...
And no, that's not an excuse. Honest.
I finished one thing though. A retaining strap for the battery.

Although, now I think about it, that's not finished as I may add a rubber 'bumper' into the middle of it, just to hold the battery a tad more securely...
I fettled the battery box a bit as well, and it now slides into position a bit more easily, and has a nicer profile.
And that big white thing at the bottom of the pic is a horn that I'm using - originally intended for boat use. It's quite loud...
Gix11
06-01-2016, 12:56 PM
Boat horn; now that should cause some looks. Yea, I'd be adding more rubber than you think to that battery box as well. I did everything hard mounted when I first made the big changes and have slowly had to replace everything over the years. Even the old GXSR standard box has a hard felt like liner around the top to stop the battery moving or vibrating too much.
More photos vicar....

boat horn sounds awesome, you just need a nice foggy day !!
I'd made a stainless steel flange (fnarr) for the Rajay turbo outlet ages ago, so it was high time that I did something with it.
With a 90 degree stainless bend, with one leg shortened, it was squeezed into the flange like so.

And you can see some cut-down stainless bends on the bench as well, which got tacked together...

And then bolted back on to see if they looked something like...

I'm going to slash cut the exit, although I'm still not 100% sure about it. I'm going to make another, baffled, pipe that runs to the rear of the bike that I can use when the bike is MoT tested and also if I ever decide to take it on track (either at a noise-limited run-what-ya-brung, or a track day might be fun...)

08-01-2016, 08:58 AM
My limited knowledge of turbos now has me wondering how the outlet facing forward is going to handle being rammed with air? Or is this another of those "deceiving photos" episodes? Edumacate me...
Regardless of that; I love any kind of stainless tube work, looks great!
not just ram it, but also the jet would slow down the movement being directed forward
but it does look great

Same you crazy rusky fucker lol
Yeah, a slightly deceptive photo - the pipe does point forward-ish. But it's going to be slashcut so the exhaust will be directed outwards rather than forwards although, as Ozzy1100 said, it'll be next to no difference anyway. There are loads of draw-though set-ups that have the dump pipe routed forward over the up-pipe, and they all run okay, so I have no worries there.
Besides, it was the only place I could have it running - I didn't want it pointing directly at the ground, I didn't want it pointing back at my foot, and I didn't want a high level pipe running back to the rear shock mount (although I am making a second pipe that is just like that, albeit with a baffle for MoT porpoises). :-)
I asked a grown-up to stick the bits together properly.

http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG0034.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG0034.jpg.html)
Usually the carb slips into this flange that bolts onto the turbo body
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03791.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03791.jpg.html)
So I needed to find a way of offsetting that flange forwards and outwards...
I got a cast aluminium bend, and marked it up where I guesstimated would work...
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20151228_160646.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20151228_160646.jpg.html)
And cut it. The piece of paper is a template for the flanges to go on each end of the pipe to A) bolt to the turbo and B) hold the flange for the carb
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20151230_154115.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20151230_154115.jpg.html)
And if it was wrong I still had the other piece of bend
At which point I went over to FBM for the final welding of the dump pipe, whereby he produced a pair of ready made flanges that he welded to the bend! So much for fannying around making my own flanges...
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160109_113410.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160109_113410.jpg.html)
It needed some material trimming off, but it was looking close...
And bolted to the turbo...
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160109_115722.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160109_115722.jpg.html)
Tadaa! The carb flange mounted (with holes redrilled and tapped to take 5mm allen head bolts) and the carb slipped into place.
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160109_152309.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160109_152309.jpg.html)
Note, however, that the tank actually has to come down a bit yet as it's being held falsely high by the rose-jointed brace that steadies the turbo, and that fuel tap is perilously close to the carb... We're not finished here.

Shit mate, this is more progress than the last 12 years! You're on a roll!
Yeah! And not only that, but I get to say the word 'flange' a lot! :-)
Meanwhile, things were happening. Only little things, but at least something was being done. Small steps, but all in the right direction. Mostly.
The swinging arm shock mounts on the Martek arm were further apart (across the bike) than the standard Z650 mounts, but then you'd expect that when upgrading to a 180 section tyre I guess. I had originally been happy with the Maxton shocks sitting angled inwards from the new mounts to the standard upper ones, but over the last few years I'd grown less happy with them, so wanted the upper mounts moving outwards to match.
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160103_121729.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160103_121729.jpg.html)
I found that a bloke on the Z1 Owners club forum was making adaptors that extended the shock mounts outwards, and somewhat conveniently they happened to be exactly the right dimensions to suit the shock mounts on the Martek arm. Yippee!
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160103_122144.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160103_122144.jpg.html)
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160103_123613.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160103_123613.jpg.html)
They'll need to be welded onto the frame, but that can happen when I do the frame mods for the chain run (oh, did I not mention the chain run issues...)
I was never happy with the bolts in the lower shock mounts, as they had threads running through the mounts, so I got a couple of bolts with long 'shoulders' that I re-threaded so that the shoulders ran through the shock and mounts and the thread was only up to the inside face of the mount.

Much coolness :-))))
As I mentioned previously, I had a rose-jointed support to hold the weight of the Rajay hanging from the standard tank mount, but it was too chunmky and got in the way of the Tank Shop alloy tank...
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG02701.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG02701.jpg.html)
So I took it off and threw it into the 'might come in handy one day' pile.
Measuring up for a more svelte bracket, it was clear that it wouldn't just be a straight piece of steel that'd do the job.
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160116_163748.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160116_163748.jpg.html)
I found a pice of angled steel and, with a bit of chopping, bending and welding, made a bracket that fitted something like.
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160131_151700.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160131_151700.jpg.html)
Hopefully it'll help support the weight of the turbo and give a bit more life to header gaskets etc.
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160131_151615.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160131_151615.jpg.html)
I'd got the offset sprocket from Debben Performance, and chucked it on (with a straight edge held against it for chain clearance reference).
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160131_154455.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160131_154455.jpg.html)
And after routing through my drawers (madam!), I found a part-used 530 chain that originally came with the GSX-R1000 swinging arm that I have for another project, so popped that on too.
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160131_160530.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160131_160530.jpg.html)
You can see that it hits the frame... Bugger.
Here's where I'll need to be pocketing the inside of the frame rails.

And, while I was here, I made up a cardboard mock-up of the oil tank for the turbo (I'll be running a seperate electric oil pump to oil the turbo, given that the air-cooled Kawasakis don't have great oil pressure)
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160131_164935.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160131_164935.jpg.html)

That pocketing on the swingarm will only be very small judging by the photos, yea?
Oh, by the way; loving the progress mate!
Probably going to take up to 10mm off the inside of the frame rails Si...
With the cardboard mock-up of the oil tank knew that it'd fit okay at the front of the swinging arm, so set to to make the bits to make the tank, albeit with a tweak to the design to make it taper downwards.
Firstly marking out the sheet of alloy.

Years (and years) ago I'd started making a breather tank from an old aluminium gas bottle that my mate had found at a scrapyard. I'd cut a slice off it and had it welded up, so that it'd fit under the tail unit.

The problem was, I hadn't considered tyre clearance on the underside...

So I did some chopping and cut a section out.

Love what your upto much fun
Yes Ozzy, cutting then plating.
If I was doing it totally from scratch (ie with a different swinging arm) I'd put a new, bigger swinging arm pivot in. But I'm not... :-)
I'd bought a filler cap and tube of the interwebs, and made up a pair of brackets to use for rubber-mounted hangers for the oil tank, and took all the bits over to my good friend at Fast By Me turbos to glue them together, like so...

Thanks fellas!
Another little job that I'd be procrastinating over (what, me? Surely not...) was getting the mounts sorted for the horn.
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03821.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG03821.jpg.html)
The horn (bought from a canal boat chandlers) had one mounting point already on the original electrics plate, but needed to lower mount adding. So I cut out a piece of steel sheet to fill in the gap on the plate -
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160206_150456.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160206_150456.jpg.html)
And then a passing pigeon pooped on it to hold it into place...

The object at the bottom of the pic of the bracket I made up to hold the electric oil pump - a piece of stainless tube welded to a plate with a couple of supporting pieces. I was a tad happier with the welds on this bracket than those for the horn piece...

Yea, but it's just a horn mount! Who cares if it has pretty welds? More beer will make them better.

lovin this thread Dave..keep up the awesome work
While I had the MIG out, I made up a pair of brackets for the oil tank to weld onto the frame cross member where the centre stand was once mounted, and tacked them in place. they can be properly welded up when the whole thing is stripped down.
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160221_185147.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160221_185147.jpg.html)

With the bracket made for the oil pump, I planned for it to be rubber mounted to a matching bracket on the frame, so I cut out some sheet steel and blobbed it together. It ain't pretty in this pic, before it was tidied up.
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160301_201907.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160301_201907.jpg.html)
Knowing roughly where I wanted it (on the removable cross-member come rear engine mount), I unbolted it and wiggled it out (a tad awkward with the engine still in place), cleaned the powder-coat off and welded the bracket into place. Fully. Not tack welds.
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160307_111442.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160307_111442.jpg.html)

Guess what? Yep, it's in the wrong place. It needs to be further over to the left to give room for the feed and return lines.
So, back out it comes, cut it off with a slit saw, clean it all up again and re-weld, this time only tacking it in place to make sure it was right. Lesson learned. The oil line can now run up from the oil tank at the right hand side to the pump, then from pump to turbo and then the big oil return hose can go back to the tank at the back of the engine, towards the chain side.

http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160301_204949.jpg
Is the rear wheel off the ground or is the suspension loaded? Just thinking it might get smakced the first time you get airborne or the weight is removed in another fashion.
That pic is with the suspension totally unloaded Si (note the axle stands under the frame rails), so there should be plenty of clearance for airborne shenanigans / bridge jumping / stoppies etc...

What a dick. I completely missed the axle stands and they're hardly hidden! Obvious now you say it, and I mean, why wouldn't you have thought of that anyway? My brain was trying to see around the right of the photo to see if the tyre was on the hoist platform. I'll get back in my cage.
Nah, stay out of your cage Si, you're more entertaining when you're running free...
Besides, I always like a second opinion on stuff, and it's always handy to have someone looking over your shoulder and checking things, as the dog isn't particularly au fait with building motorcycles... ;-)
Ages ago I mentioned the issues with the rear brake, in that the disc is quite small, and I was struggling to find a caliper hanger that I could use / butcher to suit.
After being pointed in the direction of an RG500 hanger, I bought one and, lo and behold, it has the right dimensions for the cast iron disc on the Dymag wheel, although the RG spindle was somewhat smaller than the 25mm spindle in my Martek swinging arm. Fortunately, the RG hanger has (or rather, had) a steel bushing that could be drifted out.
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG02941.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/IMAG02941.jpg.html)
As I'm using a Bandit rear caliper, with the built-in torque arm mount, I didn't need the mount on the caliper hanger, so that was lopped off.
After waving the measuring stick around the back end, I had some measurements and asked a mate (thanks Sam!) to make up a new bushing, beautifully made in stainless steel and pressed into place (once the bush had spent a night in the freezer and the hanger a morning in the oven)
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160221_191223.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160221_191223.jpg.html)
And that was all fine and dandy, hanger fitted to the bike and caliper bolted into place. Except that when the caliper bolts were nipped up...

Yep, the upper edge of the caliper is fouling on the hub of the Dymag. Buggeration.
You can see on this pic that I'd already ground off a bit of the caliper to try and get clearance, but more is required...
So I ground some more off, perhaps getting a bit gung ho in the process...
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160307_160913.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160307_160913.jpg.html)
Piss flaps. That's the piston seal peeping out. On the plus side, there seems to be plenty of clearance to the hub, so I had taken too much meat off the caliper. I've another Bandit caliper on its way, so I can try again, this time being a bit more delicate with the grinder.

This is like watching a TV show. Great posts mate. I can just see you face when you saw the piston seal poking out. I have pulled that same face MANY times.

Hmm, I could take that one of two ways. Is it like a TV show such as The Q Series, The Young Ones, The Fast Show or Reeves & Mortimer, then that makes me happy. If, however, it's along the lines of an soap opera or X Factor then I'll be making a face angrier than the one pulled when I saw that caliper seal...

I don't actually watch TV any more (true fact), so I only recognise the old shows, so defo one of them (although Young Ones would be a special day in the shed).
Watch out for Young Ones quotes when I get a good day in the shed... ;-)
Yeah, I know, I've not posted for ages, but whaddya goin do about it?...
I've got an excuse though, I've got no pics as I dropped my phone in the pond. I was trying to photograph five frogs sitting in a line...
I'll have some pics up next week hopefully, but in the mean time I have made some coil mounts, modified the battery box, made mounts for the oil and fuel pumps, fannied about with another rear caliper, and got the bodywork sent away for paint.

Shit mate, sounds like it's almost coming to riding time!
As for frogs and pond phones, well that's just madness.
Shit mate, sounds like it's almost coming to riding time!
Shouldn't be long, still got wiring to sort out (giving that to a grown up to do) and the hydraulics (brakes and oil lines) plus powder-coat, paint on engine etc, frame welding on shock mounts and for chain clearance, polishing of the bare alloy etc... And I'm flat out (ahem) with work at the moment as well so getting panicky about it being done for the TT...

being done for the TT...
Now that seems like a big call after nothing for 15 years and then deadlines. :) You can do it mate!
In further MDM IT Fuck-ups, I appeared to have mislaid some of the BotoPhuckit pics... I'll try and resolve that at some point. Maybe.
Anyways, fings what I have got done...

The breather tank, still needing fittings welded in but now has had the bottom reworked so the tyre doesn't hit:-

And the caliper hanger has its new bushing pressed in place.

The bracket for the oil pump was welded onto the upper rear engine mount -

So it sits like this -

... actually, no it doesn't, I swapped it round to give more clearance between the pump (fittings) and the chain, like dis -

And some more stuff that I did, but I've not got the pics off m y new phone yet. Ahem.
Oh, and it's been re-wired. Not by me, but by a man versed in the dark art of electrickery, who manages to cut and join wires without the magic smoke coming out.

Shit yea! That's 3 things nailed in two posts (as opposed to 2 things getting nailed in 3 years as it was before). You'll be riding it next, - how mad will that be?
Ride it? Is that what it's for?...
Bracket for the fuel pump (if I decide to use it) added to the battery box.

Top job all involved
Cheers Si - huge thanks to Boxer for putting that together! ;-)
Instead of the standard 'breather tower' sat on the top of the crankcases, I had a flat plate one that I didn't really like, and wanted to use the Z1000 style, like this:-
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160625_131110.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160625_131110.jpg.html)
But, due to the Rajay turbo, there wasn't room for it, it needed to be at kleast 20mm shorter. So I cut a bit out...
http://i1078.photobucket.com/albums/w481/MDMSF/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160626_194618.jpg (http://s1078.photobucket.com/user/MDMSF/media/Zed%20-%20the%20longest%20project/20160626_194618.jpg.html)
Yeah, I removed a bit more than 20mm. Your point is?... :-)
And then I TiG'd the two bits back together and cleaned up the bloody awful welds. It was bloody awful stuff to weld, not that that is any excuse for my pitiful welding skills.

And this is it bolted into place atop the cases, with the junk plate one beside it. I'll be putting a fitting into it for a breather hose next week...
