yantosh Posted October 26, 2019 Posted October 26, 2019 feelin inspired by Kev,s EFE build, been ages since I had a build on here, last 3 builds been full frame things, first one had the right heritage but a slip of a thing at 14yr old , too young for this place, Next one was a complete mongrel, but its heart lay with Soichiro......so thats a ban waiting to happen....the one i,m trying to finish will make its way here, but it,s owner wants no online leaks till its done, I think its nice tho but I have a bike in a bucket 4 Quote
yantosh Posted October 26, 2019 Author Posted October 26, 2019 made some calls, perused the internet 8 Quote
yantosh Posted November 2, 2019 Author Posted November 2, 2019 best start making some loomynum chips workmate turned me two blanks, by the time i grind the tool for the rad he can have them spat out the CNC drilled and counterbored the holes, easiest quickest way to have matching holes scribed the lines ready to split , once thats done I can bolt back together and put the 1 1/8" hole through 6 Quote
baldrick Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 this will be good, im in.. whats the story with the engine in the bucket? good luck with it. Quote
yantosh Posted November 4, 2019 Author Posted November 4, 2019 1999 TL1000S (v) , I got it from George McClure years ago when he bought the remains of my slabby, 3rd gear had went, I've ordered any missing parts, gaskets etc and will hopefully start reassembly this week, my mate Wullie at Dynotech Ecosse helping me. I'll make a clutch cover as the standard plastic ones get a bit leaky I've got an ECU and throttle bodies, but looms are thin on the ground, i'll keep looking 1 Quote
yantosh Posted November 4, 2019 Author Posted November 4, 2019 stuck the frame in the jig while I wait for the motor, I,ll try and get a sprocket position from the swingarm pivot before it is ready no I won,t be relying on the frame as it is to hold the arm , there will be some fabrication needed there Hyper forks meet GSXR front wheel with a side of Brembo calipers and Ti bolts, with a bit of measuring this will get me a pitch for the yokes 10 Quote
Matt-Man Posted November 4, 2019 Posted November 4, 2019 Will be keeping an eye on this thread for sure. Is that Dorsadura frame etc ? Quote
yantosh Posted November 5, 2019 Author Posted November 5, 2019 multistrada frame with the rear cut off, bodywork is hypermotard . Dorsadura is aprilia ,think its steel tubes attached to ally pivot section 1 Quote
yantosh Posted November 5, 2019 Author Posted November 5, 2019 £180 bangers for an as new NITRON, yeah, fuck it.... sell my PVM wheel to fund it risers are split and bolted back together, they wont be split again until the profile is cut , holes are in for fatbars and keys left to align them drawings are ready for the profile but thatll wait until they are pinned to the yoke 6 Quote
yantosh Posted November 6, 2019 Author Posted November 6, 2019 time for a little heart surgery crankcases are buttoned up, gearbox and crank all good 3 Quote
ElVikingoTropical Posted November 9, 2019 Posted November 9, 2019 As Raptor owner I take decently a seat to see this interesting project 1 Quote
yantosh Posted November 10, 2019 Author Posted November 10, 2019 crankcase not so buttoned up , won,t go through all the gears, needs splitting, Wullie will sort it tried to space out the forks for yokes, but the calipers are narrower than Japalneeze versions, so my centering blocks need a skimming Quote
yantosh Posted November 10, 2019 Author Posted November 10, 2019 since I can,t do that, might as well play with badges, Suzuki heart in a Ducati cage with a little BFT on the side 12 Quote
Maggotbreath Posted November 12, 2019 Posted November 12, 2019 Right on! That's going be relly cool! Quote
yantosh Posted November 12, 2019 Author Posted November 12, 2019 I modeled it up in 3d and a mate in USA printed me a couple 6 Quote

yantosh Posted November 13, 2019 Author Posted November 13, 2019 Seb suggested model glue , says it holds it all together, I'll mess about and paint them when they arrive working on yoke design just now , while engine isn't complete 1 Quote
yantosh Posted November 13, 2019 Author Posted November 13, 2019 injin investigation, one of the splined bushes was seized in one of the gears, the joys of a basket case who,s history isn,t known 100% , it,ll be right Quote
yantosh Posted November 19, 2019 Author Posted November 19, 2019 knew there was a yoke in there. unfortunately the top one wasn't in the other billet... t,was a bit short 7 Quote
Askamaskinservice Posted November 21, 2019 Posted November 21, 2019 We have a guy in Sweden doing cnc-yokes for all sorts of frontforks, even stepped. Just wanted to share and if you think it's unappropriate i will delete it @yantosh 3 Quote
