Not sure how but the motor is 5 mm off to the Port side!??

 

better take all the spacers out and see what ive done wrong

 

I had a similar problem when I checked motor alignment in my Harris frame. Not sure by how much but was definitely not central ! Will check thru notes later so see by how much. Possibly due to chain alignment ?

Loosely put all the important bits in to see what it looks like 

 

 

Have the axle slots been extended on the swing arm? I am looking at putting an SV 650 swingarm in my Hyosung 650 and it is a fraction longer on the rear of the slots, while the slots themselves aren't as long as the Hyo ones. I was thinking of machining them a bit longer to get the original length on the arm.

My Harris engine is central at the frot of the frame but the top frame rails have different spacings either side. Not uncommon apparently.

Not checked mine at the front but there are different sized spacings on the rear engine fixings that seem to skew the engine over at the top frame rails. I spoke to Harris about it and they seemed unconcerned. Like you say not uncommon apparently. Was going to wait til I put the engine back in to see if I can the engine more central and see how that affects chain alignment. Or just ignore it !

Not a clue shipmate??  It’s a slabby arm no idea how long it’s supposed to be ??

There’s a good chance it was like that when I had it Gary, all the mounts had been made by the previous owner and I never removed the engine or properly checked alignment. I’m sure you’ll sort her out, it’s coming along really nicely 

Just checked front spacing and the spacers are different lengths by 5 mm

I had them in upside down and back to front!!!

it could of been worse bud, you could of had them inside out 

[fatblokeonbandit]

So after some jiggery and quite a bit of pokery, it’s in line, ill make up some new shiny spacers when I do the frame in powder coat..

Whats that saying, "if it don't fit, force it" 

[fatblokeonbandit]

If it don’t fit twat it with a hammer until, either it fits or it’s broke

I think your right, Jon, it probably didn’t matter if it ran alright, it’s just me being a bit pedantic 

 

anyway it’s all lined up, now to do chain run

Better find some oil and electricity 

first an oil cooler

[fatblokeonbandit]

Yes its Nice, just need to find shiny Master cyl with 40mm hole spacing

 

[fatblokeonbandit]

Now the engines in the middle the chain runs is easy

 

[fatblokeonbandit]

Now heed cooler location??

If ever a bike needed a front mounted head cooler....just below the pair of KC daylighters.

Look good, the speed its coming together is impressive.

Coming together nicely..

Whilst in the pub avoiding football and talking bollox as usual, someone said that my frame would have been Chrome or nickle plated?? looks right, but how fekin expensive is that?? or do I do it white again

 

 

[TonyGee]
