I have made the awesomest caliper bracket, its almost too pretty for a sidecar. I may have to rub it on the driveway and hit it with a hammmer so it looks the part.

It will be just fine as it is.Originally Posted by nodrog
I have BMW barrells & pistons, but no heads yet, we might need to spend 15 minutes assembling it tomorrow night when the heads are ready.
Gave the R100 barrells new rings & a hone, good old Ford Falcon ringset, got enough for three motors for less than the price of one bmw ringset.
Giving the heads new valve guides, valve grind & retrofitting stem seals, which they dont need in a two wheeler, so that should be the end of the smoke exiting every corner that it always did.
It will stay R100rs 980cc with in ported heads for the forseeable future.

Pics or you didn't build it
Kai bought his swingarm in today, turns out he just didn't have a big enough hammer and wasn't hitting it hard enough
"If you can make black marks on a straight from the time you turn out of a corner until the braking point of the next turn, then you have enough power."

Or he's REALLY limp wristed............

Yea took the swingarm into Warwick for a look see, got a hammering until it moved a bit then used a puller to pull the axle stub out, and a big press to press the bearing out. Cheers! Heres the swingarm and rear hub assembly all apart, gave it a quick degrease.. will give it a full clean then install new bearing and grease up the swingarm pivot. Waiting for the rear shock to be rebuilt - re install that and grease up the linkages etc.
This was what the stub ended up looking like, the splined bit didn't go back down so it does just slide in and out through the bearing. But not easily!
Got a nice array of parts to clean, replace, grease and reinstall..
Got the sidechair wheel hub off, clean and regrease the bearings if they are still OK.. how do you tell? Just tapered bearings, I'm running them in my hand and they feel smooth. There is a bit of slop in this sidechair, Found the problem but will see how to get rid of the slop - may need brass bushes made or found to replace worn items. Also I'm using the grease in the photo for everything.. wheel bearings, pivot points etc - anyone see a problem with that?
Got all the brakes off and the two master cylinders, they are wilwood items - clean them up along with the 4 calipers I took off.
This is the brake lever and bias setup.. will pull it apart to see how it works and what needs to be done to get it working properly and get some slop out of the whole setup.

haha get out of it! I was using a hammer and a piece of wood to protect my shit and be gentle.. They just went metal on metal and busted up my big nut! haha, and then used a puller and a press to get it apart..Or he's REALLY limp wristed............

Examine the rollers and the races carefully and see if there is any pitting on them, check the cost might not be bugger all to put a new set in
Seal kits are normally stuff all, rekit them if you can, if you head out this way early you could call on Les Hunter who is local and does all the Wilwood stuff

Yea I can head out anytime, imdying will also look at them but only on saturday so might try Les on the way. (edit: and yea, will rekit calipers and master cyls.. might as well will replace pretty much anything thats old as I pull it apart..)
Sweet about the bearings, having a tea break, will clean them up and have a good look at them - but yea if they are cheap I will just replace them.
Once the rear end is done will move onto the front - no word on rear shock yet will stop in tmoro and see whats up

WTF???? You sound like Bob!!!
Poor Ella..........

I will say. At least while he was doing the rear she didnt have to look at his face.
For the record Qkkid was in my bed, not the other way round

Shes just too polite to tell you to wear a paper bag on your head.
Low personal B.M.E.P.
Where are you working out of in ChCh ? I'm coming to town tomorrow - Friday - and could make up any bronze bushes you need.
Either PM me or Warwick's got my phone no.
