Bucket update

[Ivan]

I reckon.

Power to weight. Lmao

[Skunk]

And the AX well dont start me on that. Its so close to being finshed it aint funnyreally just gotta get some time now, and a welder.

Not much happened to the power to weight ratios actually. I was a little surprised.

It's only a temporary measure to get me to the BoB this month. I don't have any money but I have a good motor and a good chassis. Simple solution is to put them together - rather than talk about how soon it will be done (Ivan).

My book is much newer and covers all the old stuff with current thinking.

The video works for me - it starts badly but clears up in 10 seconds or so. What are you guys getting?

the vids workin for me now!

If you're going to be home today I'll pop round and drop off that sprocket and borrow that book if it's still ok.

Cheers for the extras!

Any fork experts out there who can give me a hand on the weekend? Just need someone to make sure what I'm doing is right. It's my last chance to get the AX ready for the BoB.

Are you just changing the seals? Or are you trying to set them up?

[Skunk]

I have emulators in them and some advice from Robert Taylor. Need someone with experience to test them and know whether they are 'good-to-go' or need re-adjusting.

I'd love to say i could help you skunk.. but i know as much (or as little) as you..

I got those RG50 forks onto my bucket now aye.. but need to get some clipons for them cause the tripple clamps don't have the mounts for the MX bars.. Anyone Help??

Also gotta weld me on some rear sets

It'll get there.. then there's just that clutch basket issue.. anyone got a GP125 clutch basket??

Have I got some billet alloy blocks for you... Just need the clamps drilled and a clearance gap cut. They were machined for RG50 forks to take clip-ons.

If you can check the forks and tell me what's wrong I can adjust them.

Sketchy_Racer turned up with AJ and 'One-Arm' Wasp to clean a chamber:

Is this video working for anyone else? I still can't get it to work.

What bike are the forks from?
Emulatorsesses is pretty flash for a bucket bro! Pitty they sit inside the forks because they've got serious bling factor!

Did Dr T give you the instructions for them? This tells you pretty much anything you need to know.(i have a set if not) Otherwise I could come and do the old push the forks up and down then stand there stroking my beard going hmmm???

Unless the forks have been assembled incorrectly(and obviously wrong) the only real way to know is ride it.

Wish I knew. Got them from Bungbung with an MB100 frame.

Full story: the fork travel is only about 80mm. Forks bottom out under mild braking but are too stiff to get any sag. I get front end chatter under acceleration and lockup under brakes.

That's what I need. I don't know what to look for in a push test. I do have a driveway to test on... I have Robert's instructions and have talked to him but there aren't any more meetings before the BoB.

Assembled by Robert - I think they are right but changes are needed. Reduce preload to get some sag, then firm up the emulator to stop it bottoming out.

Sorry I don't actually know the official resedence of the Newlands Elite, pm me your address I can do some beard stroking and maybe some work to help out.
