sooo yas liked the frame mates? coz i didn't! bwahahaha!
heres all the odds and bits i of cut of the frame so far, every little piece, theres nothing to cut of anymore haha
it would be alright with a standard carb setup but the side rails didnt let in tbp sensor and throttle cables pulley and brackets, which was noticed a tad to late
also theres to tight room in front for the ic and turbine set up
also the upper rails r too narrow and wouldnt let in busas turbo intake (and its rounded shape looks like an arse haha)
so ive finally took the resolution and cut the whole bloody frame apieces and started it anew
the invisible frame
so i decided to stretch it by moving the engine 100mm backwards also the steering neck's to be lowered by 40mm and the rear part of the frame is to be raised for 40mm so the frames gunna look flat as a bench; the rake is to be set at 28 deg
take a unique chance to look inside haha
another magick coincidence - the new tubes fit directly into the old ones tight as
the new begining
some more minor squirts
the lowered yoke was deprived of the stock damper mount and was tidied up a bit - mould seams ground of and smoothed
the new custom heat treated studs and nuts for engine mounts r gilded lol
the frames prepped for tomorrows welding
tacked and waitin for braces to be made
meterin whose bigger lol
Shit mate do you even sleep ????? Loving the progress.
thanks heaps Dan nah im in a state of astral most of the time haha!
the stacks for turbo plenum
spent helluva time trying to press out the lower bearing race, even drilled 2 holes to beat it out but it bloody stuck, the steering neck was deformed a bit in the bottom so i gave it to a turner to cut it of and to make a replacement which later was pressed on and welded around inside and outside, tomorrow its gotta be finally machined to the bearing race diametre
the cut off was cut off over again to release the race
the bracings have been welded to the upper tubes
ive used od34 x 1.5mm stainless piping, the same as for my willie bars, to save on weight
luv the seams! - not my cop naturally, a pros work but i did all preparations and governed the process as usual
now remembered a joke from a bike zine, germans from bmw manufactured tanks during the wwii so now when they try to make a car, they have a tank instead, when they wanted to build a bike, they r havin' a tank's comin' over again lol
same with me, i wanted a chopper but build a dragster, wanted a cafe racer but build a dragster, now a wanted just a tad fightered street bike girl friendly but bild a dragster all over and over again bahaha!
fitted the neck
smart arse fixture for the pivot bolt
received the trigger wheel and vr sensor from triggerwheels.com now gotta save some coin for microsquirt ecu
opened up the right cover its pretty much fucked up in there, one of bolts beds is missing, gonna fugure out how to repair it
pressed the stem in
outta paint it tomorrow
heat treated ally bar stock for nuts
powder coated
had to cut of the steerin lock coz it didnt let to put the neck into lathe spindle to machine the hole for the lower bearing race, hopefully tomorrow the neck will be welded to the upper tubes
