They are clamp forks. Still to much twist for my liking.

Are they upside down froks, or conventional? How do you get them to twist, and how are you measuring when they do?
Forum whore
MC28 conventional forks. Wheel between legs and twisting bars. Measuring by thinking surly they should not move that much. Not very scientific I know.
Some pic's of a little surgery.

Most of that will be your legs squishing. But what isn't will be the fork tube slider thingies, whos name I can never fucking remeber.
Bracing it wont help much if that's the case. Get onto your friendliest parts department, and do a quick fork rebuild.

My poor RG50 originally was a 10mm axle!!
Also some forks clamp a spacer not the actual axle. Honda are usually pretty good arrangement with this though. Still have to bounce & tighten.
Don't you look at my accountant.

Bet you say that to all the boys. Also pays to do that when putting the wheel in.

Bloody Mr Honda made the rear sets different. Here is what I will give to the water cutter. Bit of a pain means will have to carry more spare's
Also getting the engine mounts water cut. Will do them later today.

I used him to make some little brackets, he didn't seem to mind doing a couple of odd ball things.
Cheap enough too

Man down the road. I meant design the engine mounts sorry not water cut them. Just checked the rear sets and Mr bloody Honda made the bolt spacing more narrow on one side as well as the bloody offset. Bastard. Always pays to measure twice and all. And make a mock up as well.

tis why I use rapid prototyping ,design draw,redesign check a million times , print, wait, try it DOH!! modify original drawing , send to Mr Man to make
The rapid prototyping is cheap ( in the long run) ....but if you get it right first time ,,,, well done

Not that rapid coz I had a day job today. Its the ethos of one of the biggest most amazing design house's in the world IDO. I had the privilege of working with them once. I would love to work there full time. They are cool.
Small amount of progress today. Ordered the fuel tap for the tank. Also looking at the tank design and carb position. I may be able to integrate an airbox into the tank. Well I will be able to make the airbox part of the tank. I just got to figure the connection it to the bellmouth.

My rapid prototyping printer as I've mentioned before, is Plywood & a hacksaw. Bet I can make one before you draw & print it.
