J/k frame, breather off, and sump off makes life a lot easier. You wont get the cam cover back on once the engine's in situ.
L/m frame, breather off
You was warned !

Nice to see a bike findings its way home. Hopefully you got paid out more than the $500 you had to pay to get it back. And it don't cost too much to get it back in to the condition you had it in originally.

Should be a bit further along by then but I'm sure you'll have better bikes to show. But yeah , keep me in mind. Should start a thread really in Special Frames. Or if anyone else needs a bike bringing along to show from the Peterborough area then I have space in a van to help with transport.

Not sure I can tell the difference between any of the bandtits !!

Yup, and in all honesty unless your at top level and every minimal gain makes a difference, your money is better spent on good suspension and time on setup. I went back to bst's with my race bike because the 3bhp I gained at peak was not worth the constant fettling and maintenance to keep it running right. Good smooth consistant reliable performance from standard carbs makes much more sense to me.
All this makes total sense but.............having said that I do fancy a set of FCR's

*or indeed, building
@vizmanHi viz, its worse now than when you sorted the wiring out. I uncovered some frame damage that had been filled and painted over. Thought it was best repaired and checked over by Harris. So its pretty much a frame up rebuild.

@PaulmI've got a half built Harris 4 that looks like its going to take all year to get back in a rideable state. Hardly a 'show' bike. And even when built will be a bike for riding and enjoying. But if you want a half built bike 'with potential'.....................I'm your man !!

I Love it anyway
ther were also some small updatesNew WP Frontfork with Radial Calipers , WP Rear Shock , some Oldschool Enginecover
And the "eat the rich" stiker on the gastank
That is one great looking bike.

I always thought the idea of a run on the dyno was for the operator to sort the fuelling out to the optimum or at least the best compromise. Forgive me if I'm wrong but shouldn't the adjustments be made by the operator and then another run to confirm settings going in the right direction ? Seems strange to come away and still be 'guessing' where to go with settings.

Not heard of Ashby Folville before. I assume its a ride out/meet ? Seems like a nice ride from my home as well. Is it a Sunday ride out ?

I am building two bikes with Ignitech ignition now. Could you give some advice regarding wiring the quickshifter and brand of quickshifter? I have buildt several modern race bikes using HM quickshifter. I also have a R1 -17 race bike with Quickshifter and blipper.
Ignitech do their own quickshifter triggers and rods. Not actually fitted mine yet but looks easy enough.

Bought another Nitron shock for another project for reasonable money which just happened to have 2 spare springs with it and 2 of them are black. Took the 975lb spring of the new shock and fitted it to the Magnums spring replacing the 775lb spring. Nitron do 2 colours for there springs, nitron blue and metallic titanium black. My 2 new black springs look like they have been done gloss black. Both shocks are TR R1 but difrent lengths for different bikes. Looks better in black to me.
I know the blue is a signature colour of Nitron shocks and makes the quality instantly recognisable BUT the black springs suit the colours of this build much better. IMHO.

Hi all,
has anyone used left hand drill bits to remove a sheared exhaust stud......I'm reluctant to use 'easy outs' as I had one snap on me on another bike and they are undrillable!
Thanks in advance
Hi, and does any one where to purchase these left hand drill bits ?

one of my Nitron shocks has the titanium coloured spring , the blue spring colour is because it was the founders young daughters favourite colour
I have the same titanium coloured spring on my Nitron. I do like and appreciate the Nitron blue colour but it is hard to match in with most colour schemes.

Not candy apple green , as per the old frame colour.

Most motocross bikes have a similar chain guide arrangement to what you have made. Might be tricky finding one thats the exact shape that suits your swing arm size and profile. But they are are available.

So what you're saying is who gives a shit if you loose a few horses as long as I loose it without spending too much!!

Even I'll have to work that one out.
And if it improves power to weight ratio ??

Went to Harris recently to get my frame repaired and asked about some Ohlins forks. They said 'why pay for Ohlins, get a set of recent forks, get them modded with a cartridge kit and they will be as good as Ohlins.' Just saying that most recent forks can be made much better with a decent up-grade kit on them. But you pays your money you takes your pick. Still love a set of the gold ones on the front of the bike tho.
