I got the new laser out and did a quick pic session, laser line is where chain side plate will be.
thats with a 530 pitch chain and sprockets, 190 width boot
I have just come across some billet bling, all the way from South Africa, guy brought them whilst he was out there racing, so he said he had brought some back, said he would sell me one!
they are billet cam cover oil feed blocks, i was going to make the feeds out of hose and Torques UK connectors, but this block just looks the biz and keeps everything nice and tidy above the carbs.
Just had a call from Amac Engineering to say my head is ready for collection, just need to work out what is also "essential" in Northallerton for me to get whilst i am over getting it
sent head and cover off for coating yesterday, today was a nice slow day so have made a different mid engine mounting plate, other was ok using
the stock mounting points on the frame, but left itself open fro side flex, so it was out with the alloy plate and make a different one which would only use the rear oem mounting point,
the new plate will need a new rear screw insert for the frame.
latest bit or build turned up today, 3 way brake splitter block from Torques UK, will mean that i can keep the front end/bar area nice and clean
by running the brake line through the steering stem, got some 90deg adapters coming to fit this block, so the lines will exit rearwards to the calipers.
today was upper front end test fit, fitted all the controls/switches/levers and hoses to make sure it would work like it had in my mind.
very happy with how it has gone together, looks very clean and un cluttered, only thing that might be a small niggle is the bar end indies!
due to the slope of the bars with the placement of the mirrors they might not be as open to the front as needed, might end up fitting some M-blaze buttons
somewhere on the front too. but until they are wired in it is all guess work on that score.
whilst down at Redsix yesterday I had a chat with Mick about fitment of the M-blaze to the yokes, after looking over the yokes and then looking at a headlamp he had
disassembled on the bench, i have changed plans, indicators will now be getting mounted directly into the sides of the lamp housing, loads of metal to drill and tap for fitment. still nice clean un cluttered finish.
new chain and sprocket turned up today, gave chain a good clean off, de grease and test fit, looks to be more than enough chain/tyre/frame clearance with 190 tyre & 530 chain
More Ti goodness arrived in the post this morning where i dont have facilities,machines or ability to make bits myself, i will make all efforts to gather the best bits i can afford from wherever i can, might as well whilst i have the chance, this one is a keeper.
work so far today has all been about test fitting the oil cooler and head cooler to gauge lock stop/cooler/wheel/exhaust clearances, Head cooler has been mounted directly to the main cooler mounting bracket (going to have Ducati rubber mounts)
cooler has lots of clearance from exhaust headers (using Yoshi Bandit headers) but dont see any problems as i am going to get Racefit to make me a system.
I like the idea of the two center header pipes staying inside the down tubes and then the outside two passing behind the frame down tubes and into the collector. will have to talk to Jon on the idea.
clearance of head cooler and yokes at full lock, (lock determined by fork to tank clearance)
Thanks to the feed back (good, bad or other wise) i have gleaned the information that i needed for fitment of the oil cooler fan, it would appear that every day is indeed a "Skool Day"
I have ordered a Spal Axial Fan, VA39-A101-45A, 12v (Pull) 5.5" (140mm) with the bigger of the two Ampage motors,
will be fitting it with a remote switch, unless i can find a temp switch to work at a high temp of the oil cooled motor (110-120deg +)
I will need to remove a bracket from under the steering head bracing to give me the required clearance for the fan, and then get some mounting tabs welded on for it to fit to.
had a play around with the oil cooler fixtures and fittings, happy now with how i will sort the pipework for both coolers
test fit of fender and brake lines.
ordered some more Ti bits and bobs whilst i was at it
