Well Toni wouldn't you know it, my wheel is an extreme case,lol. I suppose it would be no good if it was too easy everyone would be building bikes !

Thanks for that. I think a new plan of attack is needed, sort out your front end before you mess with the rear, that sounds familiar, lol.

Steve, That's the exact thought I had last night. I have been looking at my wheel and swingarm out of the bike. I suppose the arm pivot must be central to the frame so all I need to check is the two legs of the arm to see if one is offset more than the other.

Just thinking about getting the wheel fitted, I have presumed I need the wheel in the centre of the swingarm. If the wheel is central in the arm does this translate to central in the frame , does that make sense lol. Also if I need an extra few mm has anyone machined the actual chain adjuster block on the swingarm to get over a bit, theres quite a bit meat on it ?

I took the spindle and top hat to a machine shop who does some work for my company. The guy said instead of bushes he will make new tophats to suit the spindle out of stainless collect tomorrow no charge, cant argue with that,lol Meanwhile in my shed my cushdrive is going under the knife lol

Hi, for anyone interested my 750 frame has a 14mm spindle.

Yeah common sense was telling me that but I just wondered if a small amount say 5mm would be noticeable. I have my mounts all set up central anyhow so im good to go.

Well after reading threads about chain runs I am now tempted to leave the engine mounts unwelded until I get the arm and wheel in. Whats the opinions on setting the engine off centre to help with chain run ?

Thanks for that. I was taking the bits with me it was mainly the shoulder I was unsure about and its a awful job to measure.

Hi, All, Does anyone know if theres a drawing of the top hat bushes needed for the swap, or even just the thickness of the shoulder . Thanks Mick

Meanbean out of curiosity which IHI are you running

Well I was drooling before you started bending anything, lol the bender and jig are mint work Yantosh then your machine and fab skills just got me green with envy, top work man.

Great day, It was really good to put faces to the names. Many thanks to all I met for making me feel so welcome and good banter.

Confused, I have Marzocchi forks on a year old Enduro bike .

Will that Fuel pump deliver enough for turbo use ?

Good info Del

That's why theyre getting harder to find everyone has to smash them out lol

I totally agree ,looking at that pic of your Kat, it looks like it was factory made and should be monoshocked

Looking good mate

If I have bleeding problems I use a big syringe and push fluid up from the slave cylinder upwards, backbleeding its called. I hope this helps.
