MB100 development

[F5 Dave]

Yeah i did, i just seen me in the same sentence as the "Ivan".
After i seen that i was too busy running about "bitch slapping" myself to hear anything else........
My last update was Wob was giving it to a guy to run up to Auckland, and then i thought a kart guy to go direct i thought to CHCH. ( i will pm him again)
One things for certain though Husaberg is totally 100% off the piss for the foreseeable future i am afraid.



Your right. One of us would have to commit Harri Kari (but my money would still be on the GN ended up disemboweled with or without me there)



Say what with the rose joints? the mounts? confused........
Mine is already sans the front mounts from it's previous existence as a YZ250 powered F3

didnt like the rose joints on shock idea. No front mount, need a head mount.

I can't picture what you mean. i was intending to add the front struts back on like it was originally.
Has anyone got pics of diesels or DC's.

[F5 Dave]

Yes but not here, at werk if I remember . The shock was on an angle which was a bodge too far I thought and relied on rose joint movement to correct through stroke. Don't use the front mounts on an MB engine, they fracture as cases too thin, they aren't used as mounts. Yeah I know, but you have been warned.

I welded ally ally mounts near head and use plates on them so can easily change for different head heights.

OK i think i understand what you mean about the Shock but the pics would be handy.

Yeah I remember the warning about the front mounts no worries. But i was going to use them for the NSR.
The frame has short triangular mounts in place already (not sure if they show in the pic or not.)

I guess i still have a 6 speed MB5 gearbox as well so that's a start i guess.

So i guess i might be looking for a MB100 engine soon. WHY.......

Yea WHY. The NSR is in the country, destroke it and add your fancy cylinders. Job done.

[speedpro]

I have relocated the front engine mounts on my RS from on the end of the arms going down to being welded directly to the spar as per your first pic of the chassis. Then placing an alloy plate under new head studs like I have all you need is a little angle bracket on each side with a bolt through the engine mount on each side. I have retained the rubber engine mount things.

Had you considered using something like this Below.
The carb seems tucked out of the way it has one of those water pumps Frits seem to like. It also has one of those Power valve thingies that seem to spread the power out a wee bit. It has a 6 speed gearbox was built in the last 20 years and most importantly is a Honda. I hear there is one at Tauranga.
It needs a bit of work mind you the Crank pokes to far up and to far down as well, The piston seems a little er...big as well. Oh well it can be fixed i guess.
As the RS frames seem to be a bit thin on the ground i am hoping it will fit in one of these. it should just about cram in there with a little persuasion

It will be 2 years in 2 months time..............
I ain't get any younger.

None of us are....I though I'd seen mention of the boy riding it eventually.

On that basis you've got plenty of time - and can give up the diet too.

Ok here's Neil's bike, hope he doesn't mind me posting it, but he's changed to a RG engine anyhoo.
Shock was cocked over to give carb clearance, but 24mm carb much smaller if you make a 125.


Early mockup of mine, threaded ally plates welded near shock mount, then steel plates (head bolt hole not drilled yet). Can be difficult to feed the bolt through depending on how far down it is.

Thanks for the pics i'm totally With ya now re the rose joint/shock to the side. looks like DP bike has a long intake as well.
gee Life would be so so much simpler with a NX4.

Life was hard enough on the H100/MB5 with the TZR carb as the coil had to be removed and then the screws on the carb top needle changes were a bitch. Yet with an old VM mikuni it was sure a doddle.

quick easy access to carb for me is a priority anyway.

Anyway after figuring out how much i had actually spent already, i might be kinda stuck with the NSR engine

[husaberg]

I found the pic of DP's RGV100.

Anyone seen this crazy Hp for the carb size optimistic dyno.

Ha - and you were pushing the Athena kit at me....

That HP is feasible on that carb - but very hard fought for and very peaky. Yes, a bigger carb would give more everywhere IMO.

Couple of things - If that bore is nikasil, can you hone it satisfactorily ? I thought diamond hone and then back etch for oil retention ?
And no mention of ignition timing either....

no mention of it going back to the tuner either where it should go first.
I can't understand why anyone would leave the 18mm carb on.
I was actually wondering if they are really plated.........oh yes they are.

Oh..... one does not push anything on you Greg.

this is his build thread looks like he jetted it himself............

engine looks like it was tuned in Germany.
Cylinder Head is like our H100 less fining than fish fillet and open road.
pipe looks ugly too.

[F5 Dave]

You have to be Neil to be comfortable on that bike but he rides it well and I have a soft spot for it as it motivated me to finish mine (in time for Taupo)
