[Gix11]

Cool. Have you tried it yet?

[ozzy1100]

just tried it on a fucked uni track gpz 1100 head I use for mock ups
the uni track had the tuffest paint of all the z's and is a real pain to remove back to casting
using a medium glass bead that I use in the wet blaster it took it off like butter while at the same time
didn't rip the surface. Still not the tool for softer alloys but this in cognation with the wet blaster will work
very well, cut down on time and hard work on the wetblaster. All this still didn't stop it costing me nearly
1K by the time all is said and done tho...... fuck I could have built 5 bikes for what this exercise is costing me lol

[GammaBoy]

got to finish machining the z disk centre's to match the dymag front rim on the Z1r race bike

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/ozzy1100/7AFDEBE1-6D0B-49BB-861D-71EAF428C6D0_zps6wsdehjd.jpg (http://s1136.photobucket.com/user/ozzy1100/media/7AFDEBE1-6D0B-49BB-861D-71EAF428C6D0_zps6wsdehjd.jpg.html)

Are the zed centres alloy? GS/GSX is steel and weighs a fucking tonne..
Workshop is looking good.

[ozzy1100]

Thanks ben, yes the z ones are alloy. These have had the disk removed and Daytona
period race disks installed and the machining is so it fits the dymags

[ozzy1100]

testing on old head side to side, also done some testing with finishing with wet blaster. Much happy

I have a sore head, started final design of the pivot mount for the frame straightening jig.
I am using a cross between a moto jig brand, motoliner brand and the automagic of japans custom jig as
a guide to a design that works with my lift jig table

[latheboy]

just some pics

Jason's made a start on a future blown project sweet............
I enjoyed striping the blower and seeing if we could make it work but really got hard when he sent me this pic as he mocked it to the block....

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/ozzy1100/7C75945F-A396-4C70-BF51-F86C6B20738E_zpsn8oub8hm.jpg (http://s1136.photobucket.com/user/ozzy1100/media/7C75945F-A396-4C70-BF51-F86C6B20738E_zpsn8oub8hm.jpg.html)





The round plates on either side of the plenum, are they burst plates?
Is this going to be draw through?
Cause if so, when the plates open you will get raw fuel and boosted air coming out... not cool man

[ozzy1100]

the manifold is a old durin styled kit we have modified to fit the sc14, yes they are cast in bust plates.
They are atm missing the springs and yes it will be draw though. With the positive displacement
he will have constant boost no matter of rpm, spring tension is set above boost pressure. My understanding
it is only under backfire conditions that they can be pressed open and once the energy spike has passed
they shut. It has been std fair in cars and racing for some time, don't make it ideal and I can always just wind extra
spring pressure and block off but from what I have been told it should work fine.

[latheboy]

I know it's been around for ever and it's for back fires, I just don't like the idea..

Having said that I don't really have an alternative option for you...

I wonder if you could run so piping (somehow) to get the released air away from the hot bits...
Or a wastegate on each side with a screamer pipe pointing away from the engine????



Years ago I worked for a joint building and fitting Superchargers. Had a kid come in one day having issues.
He was running a draw through with a burst valve and a blow off valve.
Bloody thing was going to catch fire cause the blow off valve was right about the headers against the firewall....

I made him push it out of the factory when he left cause he wouldn't let me change anything.

[latheboy]

I wouldn't wind up the pressure on the springs, it'll just make it harder for them to open and possibly do damage to the blower or carbs.
Better to let them open as easily as they can.

[ozzy1100]

agreed mate, this is only my 2nd blown engine so im working a lot to what the boys tell me.
the drag bike had a blow off valve as a burst and that is how it was set, just above working pressure.
Funny you should say that about the lads car, back in the day I did high end car audio
long story but leaky fuel tank and hot wires with no grommets don't mix so then there was
nearly a punch up because I cut his cable at the battery and then the fire wall and handed him the piece.

[GammaBoy]

Thanks ben, yes the z ones are alloy. These have had the disk removed and Daytona
period race disks installed and the machining is so it fits the dymags
Any idea what the stock diameter is, and do you have any spare :)

[ozzy1100]

I can measure a set for you

Cheers!

Bugger, for some reason I thought they were 6 bolt...

[ozzy1100]

should have brought a Kawasaki

[GammaBoy]

Nah, I wanted a bike to ride, not sit in bits in the shed all the time :P

With the drilled discs, reckon you could trim one down to ~270mm diameter without a hole being on the edge?

[ozzy1100]

Most of the disks are undrilled only a few models where from memory
And don't fret quality is worth waiting for lol

[ozzy1100]

The old blokes knew how to get shit done,
To change fork offset they would use yokes of
other model Kawasaki's.
Today in the heat machining this front wheel to suit
narrower fork spacing of one such race bikes

When the vice is fitted I have ply tops with dowels that drop in on either side of the vice,
same thing keeps swarf out and is a good place for your tools to sit :-)

I might have to come see you about modding an RS250 rear wheel one day Lynton.

Kinda boring and slow progress on the frame jig but I think
I have sorted the design for the swing arm pivot mounting assembly
Knocked up a test nut for the thread cutting
I am using 80x60 hollow bar and screw cuting a 62x 2.5 thread

http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/n493/ozzy1100/3A325DE3-A448-484F-B02B-9C08D33B35B4_zpsgub3cutr.jpg (http://s1136.photobucket.com/user/ozzy1100/media/3A325DE3-A448-484F-B02B-9C08D33B35B4_zpsgub3cutr.jpg.html)

Thank you to btw, will be some things I will have you do into the future
if things go to plan

Got this far last night, made a start on the 250long 62mm x 2.5 threaded though bars

then some of screw cutting

no picture, because screw cutting that's why, tip load at 2.5mm pitch at 62mm dia in a higher tensile steel deserves your respect......

end result

machining really is a pain in the arse but two nights over the weekend in the shed getting progressively fucked
up and streaming music made this not that bad of gig ......

will be moving onto the threaded housings and upright next, still a heap of work to do and this is just the swing arm pivot mounting points...... I really question if the extra effort of my designs are worth the extra hassle and expense. There are
between 5 and 10 frames to be done straight up just between us and fuck it why cant I have the coolest toys.....

Nice work mate.

[ozzy1100]

Thanks lads,
Btw Dan, I'd been looking at that blank steel
for a week before you turned up. Took me that
long to decide the matching sequence

Made some progress on the threaded housing and managed
to finish one.

So much win mate.

Shame you've got so much work lined up or I'd get you to sort the EFE. Because I'm lazy hahaha

Sizing thread cut, 100mm long

[ozzy1100]

Slowly getting there on the swing arm mounting points on the frame jig build

Time to nail down some measurements, was in two minds over a few details so I called
in the very technical c.a.r.d design process...... Still cant decide on the best balance
of rigidity vs greater flexibility in options.

Tonight is Christmas night, I like a lot of parents this Christmas am apart from my child for whatever reason...
All the best to you this festive season

BOXING DAY MADNESS
put some time away today to finish the screw cutting on this part of the project, these lock nuts actually took as much thought
as the housing. These assembly's will be mounted horizontal and screw in and out to clamp and hold the bike through the
swing arm pivot, while being able to leave the swing arm in still able to datum to centre line.

Happy festive period to you as well and all this fine metal porn is being well received. I follow a build on YouTube called project binky, and they use CAD design for everthing (Card Aided Design) lol. I am a big fan of CAD as well. Kelloggs makes some good hardware to support this application which is readily available even for free in some cases 😉🎅

[ozzy1100]

binky is without doubt my all time favourite you tube series and has directly influenced my way of thinking lol
the whole project is just hands done the best real world build, funny as fuck while technically being correct
with nothing but basic tools and down right interesting things I have ever followed online

[ozzy1100]

And still can't decide on a final height........

Need to cope both the uprights to swing arm pivot mount

Watching that makes me dizzy.

I can't seem to stop buying tools and parts :-((((
To be honest si it's all just basic engineering but
like the men in black I just make it look good lol

[ozzy1100]

Watching that makes me dizzy.

Lol try staring at it for 8 hrs and see how you feel.
That one process is going to cost me over 10 hrs
( I factored 4 fuck.....) and there is a second one to do after that wtf is wrong with me lol

[xa-mont]

should sent it down to your buddy at Hammond engineering. would have been a 20min job here with a 20mm end mill. :P

Hows the mist coolant? i've considered changing my mill to something like that. either that or a high pressure system, need something with a bit more go about it to evacuate chips from deep pockets.

Trust me mate it was a 50/50 call weather you did these or I did
It came down to cash to be honest, I know you would have done them cheep for me
but I just brought a pan break and 2x sheet metal rollers and after the valve facing machine,
valve seat cutter, engine boring bar, bead blaster and extra tooling the money I put aside
went south lol

As for the mist tool, I think it's fantastic. hours of machining
for less than a liter of soluble oil. Apparently the air cools better
then the coolent and the oil is just for lude. This unit was under
$200 but I'm not sure if the air flow ( low) is enough for deep pockets.
My gut says preasure but I'd hate to think what that will cost you :-(

cool. As for all the hours etc, like any business, you have to try it first to get the actual amount of time logged and into your head so you know for next time. You'll factor 20 next time instead of 4.

it is to my misfortune there isn't a cent in this for me lol this type work you could never change what its worth
but when im done it will be the first process in the one stop z shop :-)
the coolness will be the frame mods it will allow me to do other than just plain straightening, things like marks
down tube will be a piece of piss and I will know that everything will be square.
in the future I will be doing std frames like the aftermarket racefit ones to be able to run 6 " rears etc
between Jason scott and myself I doubt there will be anyone in aus building z's like us, well that's the long game

[ozzy1100]

I love those Paiolis, but I hear scuttlebut that they don't actually work that well....

that might well be true but who cares when it looks like that on the z lol
still way better than std and can be offset by the carbon rims :-)

[ozzy1100]

managed to finish the second uprights coping, waiting for some 12 mm plate gussets then I should be able to start
assembly but still so much more to do after that, was hoping to have most done before xmass well that didn't happen...

progress, I needed a rased plate into the top housing to be used as a datum
measuring point in the frame jig project. I used s/s flat bar so it would never corrode.
Stainless steel bonds beautifully to carbon steel, I only fusioned this joint but if you
ever need filler wire just use s/s filler I normally use 309 but any will do.

I tack welded the plate unto the machined cut while it was still set up in the machine
then machined the new piece flat and square before removing and finishing the weld.

Love your set up mate. Some really nice fab work being done there.

[ozzy1100]

Thanks slim, it's been a long hard road but I'm finally
starting to see the results and that makes it all worth while

[Mishdog20]

Did you ever end up getting a vid of that dragbike firing up Lynton?

[ozzy1100]

It hasn't run yet, the bloke is away for work and they need to sort the cam timing yet
Recon it's going to sound horn tho

[Slim]

One day I'd like to set up a proper fab table like yours. Would make life a lot easier in the long run with the tapped holes and clamping stuff down to stop things moving while welding.

Ah bugger, its going to sound aces mate when it does fire mate...

[ozzy1100]

before the rebuild when it was draw though carb and conventional head it was started for the last owner.....
after standing next to it, it was put up for sale with the words fuck that still ringing in the air

Mig or tig for the welding of the uprights to the base plates and the swingarm pivot clamp ????

After much debate pulse tig is winning ATM
Waiting on the mag base drill for the dowels
( I'm use mt 2 tapper locks) and the profile cut
12 mm (350 grade) gussets to turn up so I can make a start.

[ozzy1100]

filling in time, love job for a mates mate. This is a early z frame, they all twisted and moved basically std.
The later frames have some updates to fix the problem. I was asked to gusset while I cleaned up a few things.
First one I have ever tried don't think it looks to bad.....

[Gix11]

That'll feel like a new bike compared to how it was.

[ozzy1100]

You would hope so si, the early z1 frames
when you look at them they all have cracked paint at the
two points I have added material. Took kwaka a while
to get their shit together with the frames

[K6Thou]

Dimple dies would look sweet in those gussets mate, easy to turn up a set if you have a lathe.... heh heh heh

All mild steel or cro-mo ?

agreed dan, I had intended to do that but I ran out of time and he was picking up today as well as this was a unpaid job :-)
future ones I intend to change the design a little and add the extra detail, cro- mo front mid top as just what I had laying around in the sizes I had.

[ozzy1100]

new toys for the shed, up to 80 year old sheet metal rollers out of a ship yard.
the bloke I got them from brought them from a bloke retiring that got them from the ship yard
they were at when he started his apprenticeship. He had worked with them his whole working life fuck me .......

Nice, would love a set of rollers. Ive got a 4ft panbrake for square edge stuff but rollers would be handy. But then you'll need swage gear, shrinkers etc, where does it end??

It never ends.........add to that I also do machining and fab work. In reality
I could have built 10+ bikes for what I have spent sighs......
I have a little brake but these rollers where only the bonus to the 4 foot
finger brake I got of him. For $1700 I got a brake rated over 2mm mild
the two rollers and a Chinese 20 ton press the same as the one I have.
the press I'll probably cut up and make a horizontal crank press for when
I rebuild roller cranks
This is the brake but I still have to pick it up.... It's going to be a pain to move

Nice mate, now you make drop tanks for toranas hahahahaha.

I should bite the bullet and get you to do the EF instead of fucking it off.....

Talking to Jason he and I agreed we owed you a favor or two and could fit it in if you wanted

[K6Thou]

You sir, Jason too legends the pair of you.



SEE CUNTS ^^^^^^ THIS IS WHAT A CHAMPION LYNTON IS.

Thanks mate just let me know when you have the time and space and I'll be there with bells on.

[ozzy1100]

settle down mate, you will have to supply you own lube unless you want it dry .........but you knew that anyway didn't you lol

[K6Thou]

Well I have stayed at your place several times now...... ;)

[ozzy1100]

Fitted in some workshop upgrade time.....
I fitted the branch water and air fluid lines
across to the other side of the shed. This is in preparation
for the wet and dry blasting units to find their final home.
Thankfully this is part of what I do for a living and that allows
me to use copper as a material and install the services the way I would in a factory.
Being drunk while installing tho is a wonderful change I must say.
I also took the opportunity to add a extra air point on the other side of the post
and a yard tap outside between the roller doors.
