Re: Dudads 92 katana fighter

thats a hell of a kanatuna! nice work man that bike is sweet! how long you been working on it?

 

[Candyman]

Hey-hey man! Glad you could stop by. I think you and I frequent 3 of the same boards now:rock: I'm loving how the bike looks, making me seriosly consider a 7/11 for my next project. Don't worry, it'd be going a whole different direction than yours.

 

[Dudad]

Actual work......it only has about 20hrs of work in it, span that over a few months and thats all. As far as money wise....about 1700

I gota ask, What's the deal with the "Ducati Clutch setup"?

Is that a dry cluth 1100 motor, or are you using a hydraulic master cylinder from the Duc?

 

[skr00zloose]

must be a hydraulic clutch with a duc master cylinder. the only motors that had dry clutches were the 86 750 limited's, and they're rarer than rocking horse shit. swapping from cable to hydro clutches on those motors is as simple as changing the lever assembly and the front sprocket cover, but i think the 1100's had hydro clutches anyway.

 

[929_adam]

but i think the 1100's had hydro clutches anyway.

that IS correct!

 

[dogbreath]

You guys have brains full of bike trivia! It's impressive.
I keep myself limited to knowing how to fix any bike and try to keep specifics out of the crowd.

My brain doesn't have room for all that shit.

 

[skr00zloose]

too many years on the job, some of it sticks in your head.

i also have a major soft spot for oil-cooled suzuki's.

 

[dogbreath]

I've been working on bikes and cars for 5 years now and none of the specifics stick with me. I have memory problems though

haha, i know that feeling, i have 8 metal plates holding my head together (hence "skr00zloose") anything other than bikes... i can't remember shit

 

[dogbreath]

I've got two plates keeping skulls from pressing against frontal lobe.
Causes all kinds of weird problems.
I have to consciously decide what I want to remember and do exercizes to remember it.

That's kinda what I figured. Something about moding a clutch assembly seemed way to difficult and unneccessary.

 

[dogbreath]

Us 'busa guys modify our clutches pretty often.

 

[Dudad]

Im using the clutch lever and mastercylinder from the ducati because it was cheap and available. The mastercylinder from the 1100 had a leak in the site glass and I got the ducati setup for $5. Its still a hydro setup so all I have to do is swap the line over to the ducati lever setup

 

[dogbreath]

Resourcefulness is a good trait and the staple of fighterdom.

 

[Dudad]

And because Im cheap and always looking for the lowest budget way to do something without making it dangerous

 

[929_adam]

dudad you must be a hijacker cuz ive never heard of anyone gettin ducatti parts for so dam cheap.

even DougZ hasnt seen shit THAT cheap :LolLolLolLol:

 

[Scrapyard]

Ebay does still have some deals if you really hunt for them. Or if you have some good connections.

 

[dogbreath]

Streetfighters live on a diet of zip ties and pictures of bikes with single-sided swingarms. It's true.
