clivegto Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 Going to get the crank cases vapor blasted so removed the cylinder studs except 1 snapped twice. Am going to leave it alone for tonight before I damage some thing. Will weld a nut onto it tomorrow that should get the bastard out. Quote
Allspeeds Posted January 31, 2019 Posted January 31, 2019 You’ve got some nice projects mate lets hope heats the healer with the broken stud 1 Quote
clivegto Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Bloody thing won't come out. Think the thread has picked up does turn a little back & forth. Weld won't take to it, cobalt drill won't touch it, will take it to machine shop & see what they say. On the bright side I am picking another bottom end up next week from Swirl. 1 Quote
jonny1bump Posted February 1, 2019 Posted February 1, 2019 Clive first option carbide drill with great care very brittle and expensive if it snaps inside new drilled hole big trouble so only on pillar drill or mill. Failing that spark erosion, vendor job then. 2 Quote

dupersunc Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Get some 0.5mm steel laser cut. ffs don't use gasket paper to space disks out. Speak to Kayla at https://www.projection-components.co.uk/disc-spacers-71-c.asp She's dead helpful. 5 Quote
clivegto Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Drilled & tapped the bottom yoke for the faring/headlight bracket. Also made a bracket for the top yoke to mount it to. Countersunk the bolt holes for the main bracket. Little onda faring is what I am going to use, it is fully adjustable for hight & angle (touring or drag racing). 2 Quote
Dezza Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 (edited) Are you going to complain to HEL? New calipers aren't exactly cheap and you shouldn't have to space the discs out if they have their sums wrong. Edited February 6, 2019 by Dezza Quote

Acording to hel they are correct, will see a bit closer when I make wheel spacors up. Quote
stockcar Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 Seems that everyone on this forum that has fitted them is 'wrong' then.......... 1 Quote

Sounds like a “recall” is due..... Or they could supply some laser cut disc spacers to sort the issue, coupled with a full set of brake lines as a gesture of goodwill for the inconvenience 1 Quote

You had best ring Kawasaki and tell them they are wrong then........they seem to think gasket paper is fine...... Quote

clivegto Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Pinched the Upperton flowed big valve head from my 1216 high comp motor I had under the bench for the Harris. Replaced it with a standard b12 head I knocking about. Timed it up & did valve clearances. Might put this motor in the Harris to get it running as the main motor build is not going acording to plan right now. 2 Quote

Had a 1100 slabby swinging arm that was cracked where one of the bearings fits so chopped it up to make a cross brace for the shock brace to sit on. Proper OSS when you start looking at frames & swinging arms as a source of material. Fab build. 1 Quote

Thanks man. The harris supper bike yokes have a + - of 3mm off set, set them on the +3mm this should give me a bit more for the oil cooler, reckon I can get a 19 row one in there. Test fitted the new turbo there is a little wheel to turbo clearance but will move it further back, there's loads of room for this compared to my turbo scratcher. 2 Quote
