Bucket update

[Slingshot]

Anyone got the other half of one of these?

That would be awesome, thanks Skunk.

The only thing I have issues about the Loncin, would be fitting a 30mm pumper in there as the carb sits high on a 4T engine compared to the RGV.
The tank may need some cut and shut perhaps.

I didn't take it... which bit is it?

You just need an FBH to do that. Or don't fit the 30mm yet... The track we use is more about corner speed than power. Honest.

FBH! Did someone say FBH?
Me awake now, Mongo want to hit things!

[nudemetalz]

Forgive my ignorance.....FBH stands for ??

[Sully60]

FUCKEN BIG HAMMER!

[nudemetalz]

Sheez, you guys been watching too much of American Chopper !!!!

[quallman1234]

Its the bucket way, Looks like half the big end part of a con rod?? or a bearing

Kyle need's help sealing the exhaust properly... Can i do the bucket thing and just put lots of silcoln around it?

[Sully60]

Chop!

Did someone say Chop?

FBgasaxe
FBanglegrinder
FBplasmacutter
FBdropsaw

[nudemetalz]

Funny you should say that,.....with my CADing,...I have plans...and yes it does involve lotsa chopping (not the American Chopping though)....

Sits a bit closer to the back of the bike than either of those, think boingy boingy not bangy bangy!

It might be the bucket way to be cheap but you want the thing to last a day at least.
Silly cone is shit for that job, it runs away after about twenty minutes if it get the slightest sniff of a gap ofr the exhaust moves or vibrates too much.

Make a gasket out of the stuff they sell at the muffler shops if it's not the rubber o ring type, or get the correct copper gasket if it uses that type of seal. Those are pretty cheap and easy to get.

Or you could justy use a whole tube every meeting

Chop!

Definatley not a plasma cutter, they are FAR to expensive and fancylike! My bet it on a coldchisel and hammer!

It's the bit that sits in behind the spring on the rear shock and holds the spring in place, I'm missing the other half and that's why the bike is low riding at the moment.

um, just to throw something into the works. I have an engine that would fit in there I'm pretty sure. It is an RGV150. Except it is sleeved down to 125 (so has to run 24mm carb).

Only prob is it needs a rebuild and a different choice of rod (I made a bad choice with a rod someone had lying around) so some investigation required. As the others will attest it did go ok at Taupo the year before beating all the 150s & 250s that they ran with the buckets. Would only want a small amount.
