Loooooooong Term Project............and it hurts

[Hollomanje]

Hello All, I'm losing my mind started this project about 7 yrs. ago but due to life situations (health issues, job issues and the like). I was detered and slowed to a crawl. Initailally it started out as just upgradeng the 30  yr old electrical system and then it happened. I was introduced to the wounderful world of M and F (Modding and Fabbing). Now the list has morphed into an entire renovation of the Electrical systems, Brake systems, Front suspension, Frame stiffening, and lastly Engine Modifing.

Lets go point by point of all I wish to do.

Anyhow... 

 

Hi,

Welcome from the Netherlands. 

 

 

 

[Hollomanje]

LOL another question does Suzuki GSF 1200 rear wheel be swapt into 83 Suzuki GS 1100e 

if so which

[Swiss Toni]

Welcome to OSS. Wheel may fit, but if using std swinger, you might have to 'trim' the stiffening webs on the inside of the arm. 

[Hollomanje]

Ok kewl I need to change to a more modern three spoke wheel so that front and rear match..... what about a 06 Hayabusa wheel  it would match the front end

[Hollomanje]

Pictures of progress coming tomorrow,  any advise is welcomed 

[jensvonbustenskjold]

That's a nice "to do list".  All in good fun 

Good luck! 

[Hollomanje]

Ok we have First Set of pictures. There where only a few minor changes. If you look their are some notations on the stiffening of the Frame. The diemension of the brace material was altered to 3" x 1" x .120" rectangular stock , I felt the added size would not only strengthen frame but give me a large enough platform to mount a few of the necessary electrics. like maybe new Reg/rec from Rick's Motorsports Electrics and a Revival Cycle starter solenoid

LIFEPO4 OPTIMIZED MOSFET PERMANENT MAGNET REGULATOR/RECTIFIER

RICK'S MOTORSPORTS ELECTRICS

UNIVERSAL STARTER SOLENOID WITH MAIN FUSE

REVIVAL SIGNATURE PARTS & KITS

As you cann see the prolem that I am having now is placing the middle bracing does not fit easily into the propose pposition ....... as ideas as to the best way to set it 

should I trim down one corner / side and lever it into place...... anyoyher ideas

[Blubber]

Slide in from above, open up the lower sides a bit to clear the bushes? 

[Hollomanje]

Okay, It wouldn't be that simple

[Hollomanje]

Week Oct. 20, 2019 

Update: So far so good was able to create bracing for rear of support. Have a little difficulty with forming a good template for curve around the top portiin of the engine cage.  Tried forming a template which worked and now forming the matching opposite side. But had to lose the original material due to not measuring it correctly. 

Will post picture progression tomorrow 

[Hollomanje]

Here where I'm at so far,

made an electrical plate to set between the two top rails under the seat,

Making the electrical box to hold the battery, alarm, and M. Unit Blue

The M-unit has its own built in adjustable alarm as far as i am aware!!

[Poldark]

Man!!!  Just how hard does one thrash his bike to need that much extra bracing?

Query - Have you checked chain run with that box section - original was tube with gap under! Looks like it conflicts to me?

Yeah it does but it goes through the horn, while the Gorilla is self contained. And haveing two is better than one. On this subject.

Nah not thrashed yet planning on beefing up the engine and not going to redo all the build out because the frame flex while I twist. So before the "new" bigger engine the power coating lets just stiffen things up a little bit.  Besides its FUN.

Thats something that I didn't see will double check before its wielded in,  Thanks for the observation if anyone notices anything please bring it to  my attention. 

was looking at the clearance looks like it clears but to be safe will raise an inch to be sure.

updating

[Hollomanje]

Update:  After struggling to get the lil bits cut and finaly got out to Pennsylvania get the final steps professionally assisted. My friend Kenny Rex owner of Rex Construction and Equipment was nice enough to be the professional one everything went in squared and fabricated the electric box to add to the clean look. Next thing is the minor cleaning of the little nips from wielding and removal of all unnecessary hangers, before getting power coated.

New Pics

[Hollomanje]

Now that I'm finally done with the frame, I get to the job of the rear swing arm and electrical components into the frame.

Should have video logged it
