Yeah man. Looks much better now the front end is built up!
Me! What bout you. Yours is going to looker as sick as this. You haven't seen it all in person. Our builds are so similar. Is so strange though cause we didn't have any discussion about it it's just I I'm having 2007 rs wheels. I the y shape me too :)
But uhh yes mate. Absolutely itching. But too busy with work ATM. Which is good. My dad is effing and blinding about the spacer he's got to make for the rear wheel lmao! You know the fact it needs to support the rs brake lmao!
ah rite fair nuff, itlle have to be made on a mill m8 no way be able to do it on a manual lathe, or cnc lathe, will take a couple of hours to programme it n machine it, thts if it goes smooth the first time round chances are itlle be a few attemps to iron out the errors n tht
prob could do it on a cnc lathe but the amount of material ur use would be way more than urll need, the lathe itself would need a massive chuck.n itll be one crazy ****ed up program to do it. could even make it a 2 piece welded together, turn a nornal spacer then weld on a hanging plate to hold the caliper.
n tht did cross my mind bout the sprocket position but im not too worried, im gonna get the wheels lined up center to the swing arm n mod the carrier if i have to, could posssibly shim up behind the front sprocket to help straighten it up. but itll be easy to turn back the carrier a few mm. but only prob then might be the chain gettin too close to the tyre. i wouldnt worrie m8 the chain will have a bit of sidwards give in it, could always make a guide out of nylon block either side of the front sprocket as peace of mind. in case the chain does wanna bail lol
It's not just the chain you need to worry about. A angled chain will have adverse affects on the sprockets and the Cush drive. Costing £££. In the Long run its a job worth doing properly.
very true lol they do come in different offsets,but then i'm not even sure rd sprockets would fit a dt? its the idea i wanted to suggest more than anything though
great fun modding,solve one problem and create two more....
lol thats where i'm at with my yz frame. but then the weight will be offset wont it? it'll look lush when you've finished,but you'll be dribbling in the nuthouse lol
Yeah. Depends. If its on a few mm it won't make much difference. Since the engine isn't exactly perfect distributed anyway. Plus you could weight it down.
It won't be any different than what NORFE did when he shaved the magneto
dave where did you find thos thtll be the best best, but i would of thought a 28mm offest is way more than we'll need would have to mod the plastic casing if we wer to run thos as it would be right up against it lol
It looks like it's worked out all ok weirdly enough. All I've had to do was space the rear sprocket out using spacers. This seems to have put the sprockets inline.
I've actually been knocked back a bit with this project. Annoyingly it seems as though the bottom bearingso n the yokes are not the right size. Which means I have to strip the whole thing back down again. Hopefully It will just mean a new bearing being pressed onto the yokes. I'll keep it all documented here. Will make things easier when I or when whomever has the bike after me needs to do maintenance.
I've test ridden the bike and it's excellent. Handles lovely and pulls really well with the sprocket setup. Slight issues with dodgey wiring causing me to have a closed non working YPVS. Quick fix. Haven't fully tested the bike but the rear brake is sound although having real issues bleeding the front brake. Air bubbles are infinite and on going so I'd say there's an air leak somewhere.
Feels like I'm never going to get this bike going. But at least I got to ride it. Weather is still shocking so no real hurry.
Things left to do is sort out a new bracket for the vapor. Sort out a new alarm system and hidden away. New plastics all round. I bought a new tank for the bike but was very disapointed with it. More dings in it than I expected. And I don't like the colour. So I'm going to have it resprayed black.
Thanks to Ralzy I got myself a brand new OEM Seat for it. Very chuffed with it so thanks again matey.
For those who think this project has stopped I update it regularly but I want everything on one page and in a logical order. So unfortunately It's all on the first page. Got lots left to do with this project and I am actually taking a break away from it to focus on other projects. I look to get it running for the summer and then start again in the autumn.
