Clive's Moto Martin

[clivegto]

Inlet pipe on the plenum was a little long so I cut 17mm of it and rolled another bead onto it with my new toy. Cut some bits of pipe up and rolled beads onto them as well then cut some silocne pipe up to connect the intercooler to the plenum

Nice little tank breather.

Breather tube from the tank was busted off so plan on replacing it with this nice Newton item.

Yes it's on the GS tank I have from Ian at Etto. He was at the Leeds church show as well.

The Martin tank has 3 recesses for rubber mounts  underneath 1 at the front and 2 at the back, the front one had been used before recently but not the back 2. Got some m8, 30x30mm rubber mounts then re-made the front mounting point then made a bracket to mount to a 22mm pipe clamp I bought which fastens to the frame behind the plenum and under the back of the tank. This now enables me to alter the hight of the tank to whatever I want.

Got a lot of work to do on this one yet to get it to what I want in my head

Tidied the back tank bracket up a bit.   

[clivegto]

Couple of rubber buffers turned up in the post today so this evening I knocked up a little bracket to hold them. Can you guess what it's for yet ?    

[clivegto]

So I stuck the bracket to the bottom of the pipe clamp with the little stick welder. Top part is also the back fuel tank rubber mount. These 2 new rubber mounts sit underneath that and will stop the plenum blowing off the carburettors under boost, bit of lidle gloss black . Of to the pub now on black eye Saturday

Shaped the left rearset bracket up a bit swapped some brass bushes around on the gear lever so as I can use the one that matches the back brake leverjust needs a proper gear rod to finish it of.

I’m not sure mate, they’re really nicely made so I always thought they were probably aftermarket

Nice 220mm gear selector rod arrived in the post just had to alter a couple of bolts to get it working.    

[clivegto]

 Made a new footpeg bracket for the rear brake side out of some 10mm aluminium plate.     

[clivegto]

The Martin came with a trick little bracket to hold the rear master cylinder which bolts the clutch cover. I'v made a little bracket to connect the brake lever to the master cylinder this evening.

Thunderace calipers don't fit the bigger R1 discs was going to use some harrison ones but there heavy so I've decided to use radial calipers coz there light and I have a couple of nice sets kicking about. Searched the Internet for adapters and even rang Hel who couldn't help. Not to be put off by this I have started to make a prototype out of a couple of bits of steel angle. So far so good

Don't know who made it originally but it would have been a shame not to use it on this project as like you though it was pretty coolio
