caferacerdan Posted June 29, 2021 Author Posted June 29, 2021 thanks to Covid the engine parts company has taken months to get around to my cams but rumour has it they are done and en route so hopefully have a motor again soon! in the meantime...I sent the frame and wheels off for powdercoating to freshen them up with something a bit more 80s... latent scarlet...aka...candy red very happy with the result! the frame is the same colour and should go great with the blue bodywork once built up 8 Quote
caferacerdan Posted January 29, 2022 Author Posted January 29, 2022 Just realised since i got my frame back beginning of this year I haven't updated this thread! doh! So the frame i had powdercoated had to get redone due to a liquid in the frame leaking out and stripping the powdercoating off (noone knows what liquid was) so had it re-powdercoated and then blasted out the thread holes to get rid of liquid with an air line. then once i had cleaned up the threads from the powdercoating and sanded it down so all the mounting bolts slide through etc it was time to assemble... arm in first along with new headstock bearings get the big ol' motor centre of workspace first then lift frame on yokes in stick rear shock in and put rear paddock stand in...then deadlift bike while mrs sticks headstock stand in for me front end in along with wheels wasnt happy with the original chrome on the Harris Performance exhaust starting to rust after years, so had it sandblasted make a new tab and weld up a repair for the exhaust springs give it a few layers of XHT Satin Black exhaust half bolted on and new cooler mounted. old cooling system is hideous and outdated so converting it to front lines from crankcase in AN8 so was checking to see what angle fittings I needed. Fittings are on the way currently along with a beefy clutch to take the extra oomph of the motor. then can add oil and bolt exhaust up properly (cant get drain bolt out with exhaust on) Also on way is some new dyna coils as old ones were putting out 5.5ohms! 14 Quote

caferacerdan Posted March 10, 2022 Author Posted March 10, 2022 cheers guys got a bit more progress done on this put a new clutch in it (standard steels, SPS frictions, HD springs) also fitted a stock katana oil temp and pressure sensor cover on back of motor since that was previous location of the oil cooler lines. built new HT leads and just waiting on some SS tube to mount the new coils couldnt resist throwing the carbs back on in the meantime though 3 Quote
Dezza Posted March 10, 2022 Posted March 10, 2022 Does the bottom of the tank clear where the throttle cable meets the carbs OK? 1 Quote

caferacerdan Posted April 25, 2022 Author Posted April 25, 2022 bit more of a detailed update than 'it runs' here it is fully wired up (ignitech not plugged in) removed the stock tacho pickup and put in the suzuki blank now that my new oil cooler setup is bottom feed, Ive got much more steering lock. so built a thicker metal setup (5mm plate instead of 2.5) and trimmed the lockstops down to give me more turn old new with the new gearing and drop from a 630 chain to a 530, i needed to make a frame slider for the chain to stop it chewing through bottom frame crosspiece then fitted up the billet sprocket cover and put the gear selector on poured 5 litres of acetone into the tank to remove as much of the old por15 as possible as it shouldnt need any in and it had gone all brittle and caused blocking on the old nackered taps then installed new taps after flushing tank out just waiting on a shorter 90 for one of the taps now and a response from ignitech and in theory i can test ride it! 3 Quote
