    Took the anodising off my slab and slingshot and scotch padded it using gt85.  Real ball ache to rub the anodising off but worth it.

    Does the gt 85 preserve it for a while.

  2. I recently did a swing arm it came out awful anodized,  re stripped it I was that disappointed. 

    This stopped me doing frame. 

    I'm fully aware cast,weld different types aluminium will all come out different shades in same vat but really shocked how bad it actually looked.

    Anodizing only good on piece that is made out of same plate or blank. I'm fan of anodizing too.

    As ian said that's huge amount of money and could look rubbish. 

    Save your money polish or paint.

    Just that, those tope end ones fed off the rocker, are at best no benefit whatsoever, but more likely they actually reduce the oil supply/pressure to your crank and cams

    The oil pressure through barrel studs holes is sufficient to feed cams. The issue can be with big blocks leaking, so this oil feed gets blocked off and oil is taken out of the main gallery restricted with a jet so not to loose the delicate oil pressure balance and connected into end of rocker shafts.

    The picture above instead takes oil cooled feed and tries to put said oil into the last bit of pressure side feeding the cams. 

    With difference of 80 psi to 5 psi doh. Doesn't work does it..

  4. Interestingly I recently witnessed a gsxr on the dyno where the owner got little enthusiastic and has two oil pressure gauges, one linked to oil pressure side and one linked to oil cooled side. The said oil cooled side does not read any pressure at all until real high revs and then about 5 psi. 

    This really proves the point of what been saying all along and at last I have the proof not by hear say. 

    Dont link the circuits.

    There’s another 10mm before the dudettes chain hits the frame

    maybe the OP is going for a styling exercise, I don’t think he needs to give you two a reason......I’ve seen wider set ups in the back of slabby, and I’ve seen them being used and abused.

    as for handling, I’m sure the 120/180 set up would be better than a 120/200

    I know you've done it, I'm gob smacked by 10 mm clearance really don't know how you achieved that. You must have a zebede straight edge.

  6. The comment about offset sprocket. This will only work if chain will not hit frame which I feel it will. So wheel have to be spaced to the right so it won't actually be in alignment. Be ok for pub and back but not too good for serious riding.

    Think Viz post sums it up.

    All stuff to check out.
