Am looking at IHI VF23 what's people's thoughts on this turbocharger.

Wasn't just quite happy with the look of the brace so moved it backwards & down a bit. Had a 1100 slabby swinging arm that was cracked where one of the bearings fits so chopped it up to make a cross brace for the shock brace to sit on.

Running busa mk1 rods in my one making 260hp, done 3000 miles no problems so far.

The nitron shock length is adjustable so no need for a adjuster on the arm as I was going to do.

Fitted some more new swinging arm bearings & cut the big brace off the smaller top brace.

Like the look of Keith Harris magnum 1 JMC swinging arm so going to make my one simlar.

Yes I am aware of this, my one is going to be like the one in the pic on a magnum 1 JMC arm as well.

I did buy a length of the bay of e for bottom JMC arm bracing.

Thanks, just my way of holding it square & parallel.

The JMC parts are sometimes on the bay of e.

This is my plan @YoshiJohnnyit was a JMC arm.

This onda 6 arm was fitted to the green mag 2 when I got it.

They should be would make fitting them so much easier.

Fitted some bearings to the Harris adjustable super bike yokes to test fit them with a set of gsxr 1000k5 forks & k9 wheel. Looks like it will work alright to me.

Had to widen the inside of the arm to sink the arm bearing further in. Did it with round & round drill sanding wheels, made a guide up on the lathe to keep checking my progress. Then cut 10mm of the chain side of the arm to get it to fit the frame. Did scribe a mark round the arm to follow with the hack saw was only 0.3mm out so not to bad. Took 6mm off the sprocket side wheel spacor on the lathe, back sprocket is reversed which gives me 2mm & have the off set front sprocket. Wheel is central & chain alignment looks spot on.

Picked the arm up from the welders today. All looks good, it's going to be 50mm longer than a standard mag 2 arm with the 6 inch k9 wheel with the option to move it back another 130mm.

Think he is in New Zealand at the moment.

Show price was to good not to get a set, did walk away from the hel stand the first day lol.

What are my choices if I use a T2 turbo flange 72.3 x 40.6mm. Pic has a adaptor plate on but I don't really want to use that.

Some of you might remember my turbo b12 that has now been sat in the naughty corner for a few years. It has some nice turbo headers on made by Dave Dunlop. They are better design & fit the harris frame way better than the other set. 3rd pic is the set I am going to use (Daves). While I was at the Newark bike show with some of the other OSS boys I ordered a set of hel calipers, they turned up in the post today.

Count me in.

Was cool Oldskoolsuzuki cool.

Fantastic looking bike in the flesh.

Yes did it like that for room for a plenum.

Yes, not to trickery use front engine mount on engine & frame make the back ones up to suit.
