[speights_bud]

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.

What did you draw them up in? would you mind sending me the file? buddy o mine has a water cutter at home he hasn't run for a while. might give him some encouragement

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

Seriously doubt it

Maybe, but mine will be purrrity. Just they way I like it.

Sure. Vectorworks. PM me your address and I will flick you through the file later.

I can't seem to find an app for that ?!

After teaching myself how to weld making a engine stand. I managed to get the rear engine mounts ready for cutting. These are for the rear only and are designed to slip over the existing rails on the rear of the frame. The front mount will be made of steal an bolted to the bottom of the steerer. At this stage anyway.



Also got the fork brace. Works a treat and really locks the front end together. Without it I might as well have run the FXR forks. I think reducing the axel from 20 to 15 had a marked effect on the stiffness. Happy now.



Also now my welding is almost ready for public viewing I have started the new sub frame. Its looking like I will need to raise the seat hight a good 50mm to be able to stretch out across the top of the bike. Welding while fun is rather tricky for sure. Sunburnt hands opps. Need to set up a nice little welding table and chair. Well on the home stretch now for sure. Learning lots and having fun. The next build will be that much easier.

Well you have 6 days to next race so heaps of time

I'm still trying to make that date.

I'm not, I'll think of you guys while drinking stupidly and playing on pit bikes in Turangi.

Not looking that promising really. We shall see. Will try get the front breaks done tonight.

That sounds like last weekend except the venue was 40k east & the bikes were bigger. Stupidly bit upheld.

That fork brace looks cool, but will it mount the Gopro?

[richban]

Yep Gopro will be fine.

Got the engine mounts back from cutting today. Good guys down there. They also offer fabrication services as well.

Another step closer for sure. And yes that oil on my floor is from the rear shock fuckit.

[hmurphy]

Mate those engine mounts look sweet! Wish mine weren't so rangi now. I got a very skilled welder to weld them in place though, not worth the risk of having my engine drop out mid race and make you crash behind me

[richban]

I promise not to lap you till the last race of the day. Will still be running the engine in.

[richban]

Little more progress today. Got the front break on. Was a bit of a mission but all good now.



Also checked the engine mounts were going to work. All looks good. Engine is sitting at correct angle as Mr suzuki intended. I did measure everything lots but didn't make any cardboard templates to double check so was rather surprised I got it right. Just mad a new engine mount bolt out of one of the NSR long ones. Love my new Tig.
