And so it begins

[Ragerover]

Well here I am again after a long break

been nuts busy with work and garage 

 

post some photos in a bit 

but I’ve done :

 

made rear caliper hanger ( well part done now going with 2 rear callipers for thickness and thumb brake ) 

 re spaced rear wheel as when I re checked wasn’t 100%

machined sprocket carrier and had a bit richness with 2 sprockets to fit

made bushes for rear shock now 100% done

 

mounted bars 

fitted nitrous inlets

made oil cooler mounting as I thought standard angle thing looked boring

oil cooler takes offs changed to swivels as  -8 fouled exhaust 

that’s about it for now

Bars mouted

Nitrous injectors fitted

Swivel take offs

Coils mounted 

dummy battery made and 

Dyna 2000 dry mounted

think I’m going to scrap subframe and make a tubular one like my GSR

This is an interesting idea?

A very generous way of putting it I think, bad would be more to the point. 

I'll get a comfy chair and await the outcome.

What is? Bolt on sprockets or using ss screws on aluminium without washers? Explain pls? 

[bluedog59]

At the very least I would be wanting to see the "sprocket" locating on a shoulder on the "carrier". Not having one is asking for it all to go very wrong.

Just wandering what the thinking behind this is.

Not yet finished  need washers and changing bolts for shoulder bolts  ( these are fully Thread{fed )

once done I’ll give it a go if it doesn’t work then I’ll need idea MK2 maybe a one off carrier

needed to get sprocket inboard to line up chain , centre of wheel lines up with front

surely 10 x bolts will be enough ? Happy to take advice on it

If the outer bit gets slightly off centre chain tension will start to vary. Worst case it'll create a lot of chain tension and subsequently increase load on output shaft (bearing).

That's if it sticks in the excentric position. Personally, for a dry build I'd say fine.. ragging something cheap around a field also fine. Permanent on a build like this? eerrr.. nope!

Could you tell a little more about this? Is this a nut disguised as a bolt?

And kinda looks like wood screws on the radius, what's up with that?

[clivegto]

Would it be possible to use a 525 chain and sprockets to get you where you want to be, these look like 530. I'm using 520 on the Moto Martin to get me where it needs to be. My Turbo Harris has a 525 setup with a front offset sprocket.

I've twice had similar problems over the  years. First, problem was not enough offset on TZ spocket carrier and I got Talon to make me an offset rear sprocket. Second, was too much offset on a race wheel sprocket carrier and to fix that took a new, bespoke sprocket carrier that moved the sprocket inboard .

Hi Clive it’s 520 already

Hi mate  I’m sure there will be a way

eitger offset front  and std rear 

or get the wheel turned down at the face 

only problem with that would be it would bring the chain closer to rear tyre

I’m lying just checked it’s 525

Presumably it's got a 190 tyre.
