Geez I would love the skills to do that!! In fact I would be happy to even have the imagination to come up with that.

Very nice.

Exactly what I was thinking. Bloody awesome talent and skills there Mr Bogan.

Been a while since I've done any work on the bike...

Prototype Mk3 chain roller

beta testing Mk3 chain roller (cos the prototype required some microadjustment)

Billet Kickstand

front clearance on the roller

installed roller position


Reckon the Mk3 could be the final/production version, I'll update the design so it'll be machined out of a bit of 20mm plate. Seems like the simplest option to go with though, and will be very strong, and also replaces the chain slider that isn't required when you go to a roller anyway.

Nice workmanship! On rigids that I have built and that have a rear-guard that hogs the tyre (and you don't want to move the wheel) I always fit a roller so the backwheel can stay where it is. I normally use a skateboard wheel and best bearings I can buy. That also gives me the opportunity to get a wheel that matches the bike colour. Only thing to watch out for is that it is all strong enough to handle engine braking if you do not fit a spring to it and hinge the tentioner. But the problem you then get is that the slack moves to the top side when engine braking.

Yeh theres a bit of force on it under heavy engine braking, can hear it whiring away a bit. It should hold up fine, and I can replace the rubber with some more hard-wearing plastic if it chews through in a hurry. It's mounted a lot more solid than the mk1 (could feel shaking through my boot) and the mk2, so all I have to check up on is if the plastic is getting chewed up.

A dark day for RC31 owners everywhere...



... our ranks have been infiltrated by an idiot

[ducatilover]

Who the...how the?

[bogan]

The guy must have epic clutch control to still be riding it eh!

[ducatilover]

Something like that or it's some new chain-saver sprocket we're yet to be told about?

Cheaper alternative to a slipper clutch?

Cheaper alternative to a slipper clutch?

And doubles as an anti wheelie?
I think I need one?

[Conquiztador]

Sounds cool too...

[bogan]

Rearsets mounted up, plan on selling similar ones for other bike types if anyone is interested

[bogan]

So I must confess, the photos above use trick photography to make it look like I had two footpegs, and that it was all in working order.

This update; now I do have two footpegs, and it is in working order The peg position puts a bit more weight on my wrists so I'll have to work on gripping with the knees, especially around town.

I also did some tuning, and it runs better than before, hopefully it gets a bit more kms out of a tank too.
