Why because the outside world sux cock and motor bikes that's why bwahaha
Workshop fixes today, the china made cold saw's soluble oil tank has been to small and a pain
in the arse from the first day I owned the machine. Just a simple catch can to increase
capacity and cut down on crap fouling the pump.....
Lets just say I may or may not have been off tap making this to very loud music and a purple haze.....

and 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/...ps6wsdehjd.jpg
some more workshop upgrades....
the old tap, reamer and machine tool shelve have been repurposed,
moved tooling, cut and weld steel work, happily tho the old shelve are a
perfect fit for the box's of jig tooling for the lift table.
managed to fit the lift table control unit and isolators behind in the dead space.

This is getting serious mate!
Mate you should drop in one day and have a look, it's really getting out of hand.....Quote:

Yea, I'll have to drag Supercharger's arse up there as well; he'd be in heaven.
Not commenting cause just so fucking jealous, I want your skills and shed! Fucking awesome!
he with the most toys wins :-)Quote:

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....

another frame to be done, this time a earlier on

how cool is this period custom paint sooooo cool

Ozzy, I have some anodised alloy parts (Gold Pazzo levers and a few others)
the normal caustic oven cleaner did nothing to remove the anodising.
How would they go in a vapour blaster ?
Haven't had the chance to try on anodizing yet tony, your welcome to be the first
Next AFR we should just go to your shed
Sadly I doubt I'll be finished building the workshop before then but it's not that a silly idea
I was thinking of putting something on closer to when I'm finished, need to
have the bar and lounge area finished first. I have to straighten and repair two frames to pay for the timber
tops. Unfortunately I have to build the hardware to do so first while still building another 3 bikes here atm.
Right oh, have been in need of a bead blaster for some time now. Finally dropped some bills
on a ruff 2nd hand commercial machine that needed a rebuild. It's on the small side, cost
more than the same size hare and forbs machine and needed work. On the plus side the repairs
were easy, it's big enough for my needs, and with the work needed I did all the upgrades I wanted to
no matter what machine I could afford ($250 hand piece etc ). Extras are glass not plastic viewing, better
extraction and filtering, and a far superior result on far less bead. Still a few jobs to finish, a air dust gun inside
and a high flex suction hose ($100 ouch) to the hand piece.
start with this...
http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/...psqkaey2bs.jpg
epoxy fill the horrid modification to the bottom of the hopper....
http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/...pshjzwsuhs.jpg
modify a 1" brass tee to allow suction at take off point...
http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/...psrkndcsxd.jpg
add some hose and hardware, shake and use, enjoy....

Cool. Have you tried it yet?
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
Are the zed centres alloy? GS/GSX is steel and weighs a fucking tonne..Quote:

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
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
http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/...psyqbmdi11.jpg
http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/...pskqktzlzh.jpg
turned into these
http://i1136.photobucket.com/albums/...psnwrhe5ej.jpg
had a look and found I had almost all the spares to add the air dust blown down in the new blast cabinet

The round plates on either side of the plenum, are they burst plates?Quote:

Cause if so, when the plates open you will get raw fuel and boosted air coming out... not cool man
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.
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.
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.
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.
Any idea what the stock diameter is, and do you have any spare :)Quote:

Friday night machining, these are the bases for the swing arm pivot mounts for the
Frame straightening jig. 25 x 130 plate I had laying round.

Ben disks are 58 id 4x 10.2 mm 78 pcd 18 offset and 290 od
Spent the night finishing the machining on the bases of the
new frame jig. These will hold the frame through the swing arm pivot.
