clivegto Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 To make a bit more room I took another 1.5mm of the k9 sprocket carrier and 1.5mm of the front sprocket spacor. Loads more room now lol, still doing the 525 chain conversion though. 4 Quote Link to comment

Pheasantplucker Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 Looks like a real decent product. Factory look and quality, if it didn’t have the KOSO badge you’d think it was Suzuki. 1 Quote Link to comment
Dezza Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 It's a shame no-one makes an aftermarket tacho like these ones with the correct scale for an OSS oil boiler: they're either 10K (ok for aircooled) or 14-15 (ok for a smaller engined bike). 12 would be optimal, although personally I'd buy one that ranges 0-11k, just to be able to say: 'mine goes up to 11' whenever I had the chance .

clivegto Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Adapted a set of b12 throttle cables to fit under the tank. 4 Quote Link to comment
clivegto Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 Got the 525 44 tooth back sprocket and the 525 chain turned up as well. Set about whittling the 530 17 tooth offset sprocket down to 525, end result came out alright. 4 Quote Link to comment

clivegto Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Caliper spacors that came with my hel calipers I used to space the yam calipers out on the K5 forks were narrower than the mounting points which looked odd to me. So I ordered some 25mm billet bar to make some up myself on my little lathe. Looks much better now I think. 9 Quote Link to comment
clivegto Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Fitted the fuel return & tractor petrol tap to the tank. Also fitted the fuel cap, had to put a slit in the retaining ring to get it inside the tank. It has a Cork seal which is smothered in blue hylomar, also there is no paint round the bolt holes to stop petrol weeping under the paint. 6 Quote Link to comment
clivegto Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 10mm thick nylon sheet turned up eventually. Cut a 50mm slice of it then started playing around with the heat gun and various quick shift jigs to bend it to shape. Still a bit more work to be done but I recon it will work. If it doesn't I will just bolt some flat bits on top bottom. 3 Quote Link to comment
