JDR bike build

[Ivan]

as you can see on the right hand top rail its twisted down im going to cut it out and bend it correct shape again and put some tube inside just to reinforce it since its been cut there and yip i know before anyone spots it out to me the right hand side shock mount has a hole in the weld those bars you can see i welded in actually run all the way to the bottom of the frame were the swingarm mount is so i really reinforced that area also on here im going to weld some flat solid steel plates as peg hangers which will also strengthen the frame and strenghten the swingarm mount

I still have to make the subframe and work the front end out still

[Moooools]

I don't get why you decided to make the frame to fit an RS 125 tank, a very expensive tank that is in relatively short supply. At least it is light. Frame is looking pretty good though.

How is the overall weight going?

Rs tank is only to get it to fit the frame I built im making a fibreglass mould of it as that belongs on my RS and running a 2 or 3 litre tank like what newmanz sell,

Overall weight at the mo is pretty heavy with those forks and swing arm those triple clamps are the killers they weigh nearly 4kg on thereown the rear swingarm is solid steel so weighs abit

Like for the XL motor to fit how I want it to I need a smaller tank or a "dummy tank" as the head fits up into there otherwise I would actually have to chop a tank up to make it fit

[Ivan]

about to mould the RS tank today and start building the rear subframe also


now a question how much travel is needed in a set of forks for racing As I know the current forks I have are to heavy but can use my RS50 forks just need some of the tops machined down but want to check out how much travel I am going to need on them before doing this as I dont want to cut them down and wreck them if it aint going to work

i cant help my spelling that I have dyslexia

[Moooools]

I know plenty of people with Dyslexia, who know that when there is a change thought, a full stop must be used.

Even my grammar and spelling can get bad.

If you used full stops then people may actually know what you are on about; no matter how bad your spelling or grammar is.

im gathering you couldnt tell it was sarcasm

to much effort for a underseat exhaust system

Side mount shock like the Alchemy

you know it makes sense even if it doesn't'

If you haven't heard of the Alchemy google it.
Rising rate designed by a New Zealander (can't remenber his name but he was a Uni at the time)It was Rob Henry at the Auckland institute of Technology no relation to Brook
Bike made made by another New Zealander. (Brook Henry)
Engine plates by New Zealander Ken Macintosh
assembled/built in Perth.

I considered this kind of setup but have gone for the conventional setup as I know it works and building the exhaust system will actually work quite nicely still

No because it was about the same as everything else you had written. And you could easily pass as dyslexic.

well I have now built my own copper head gaskets

realisticly the old points xl bottom end is no good so will be trying to get a later model cdi one and keeping this motor for the gear box and crank as spares

Because of the points? Or are did they sort a design fault out when they moved to CDI?

If you are worried about points, don't; they should be fine.

The advantage of more modern stuff would be fuck all to nothing, if the points are kept in good nick and well adjusted. The advantage newer-than-points systems is less maintenance which shouldn't be a problem on a race bike.

There may be an exception if you are revving it significantly higher than the points were designed for. I doubt it would be a problem before all that silly four stroke shit starts causing trouble.

Nah its when converting them over to CDI the backing plate will be sitting real far out and wont have any room to bolt flywheel onto the crank.

Im not worried about points its that the motor I have is SOOOO old its the old single piece head and I really wanted to keep that without ruining it as im gathering they are pretty rare to come across
