clivegto Posted October 3, 2020 Posted October 3, 2020 Then there were two. Got some mirrors with bar end indicators from China delivered for £27.75 as well. Quote
clivegto Posted October 4, 2020 Posted October 4, 2020 Had to turn down the rubbery things about 4mm that fit inside the handle bars to secure the indicators & mirrors. Quote
clivegto Posted October 7, 2020 Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) Next bit is the exhaust, slash cut style or it will be when finished. Edited October 7, 2020 by clivegto 1 Quote
clivegto Posted October 8, 2020 Posted October 8, 2020 (edited) Tack welded the slash cut with stainless wire in my mig. Tryed it for size, all good so welded it up. Cleaned it up a bit then slash cut the end off. Edited October 8, 2020 by clivegto 7 Quote
clivegto Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 Didn't like the P clip I used to fasten the Rizoma rear brake reservoir to the frame, even asked Gsxrsam about making a billet one. Then had a brain wave after a bottle of corona. Simply is best as usual, so made a little bracket out of some aluminum flat bar to mount it of the back of the r6 brembo master cylinder. 6 Quote
clivegto Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Been thinking about a oil catch/breather tank, decided to fit one behind the engine & in front of the swing arm as there is a bit of space there. Possible going to have 4 fittings to it a window & a draining point. Got some 100x45x3mm aluminium box for the main body, cut a bit of at 200mm & made some ends upto be welded on. That's as far as I have got with it for now as 2 big boxes of cool shit arrived from @eightball_hotrodcheers mate. 4 Quote
clivegto Posted October 15, 2020 Posted October 15, 2020 Bling bling, got some rainbow titanium sprocket nuts in the post today. 2 Quote

clivegto Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 Bit more done to the oil catch tank. Made a little bracket from aluminium angle that fastens to the back of the engine, the m6 allenhead bolt will be removed ones welded & filled with weld. 1 Quote
clivegto Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Drilled a 5mm hole in the bottom left & tapped it out to m6 for a drain plug for the tank. Also drilled 4 14mm holes in the top of the tank to fit the pipe work, tapped these out to M16x1.5 for the an8 to m16x1.5 adaptors. Spaced them out so there not in line with the shock & more towards the back of the tank will not foul the frame. Sight window hasn't arrived yet but that will be fitted to the right hand side of the tank so when checking the engine oil window I can view the oil catch tank window as well. 7 Quote
clivegto Posted October 21, 2020 Posted October 21, 2020 Will welded the oil catch tank up for me. Window glass & some m16 dowty washers turned up as well as 30° torques_uk fitting. 4 Quote
clivegto Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 Got a aluminium tail to go on the bottom of the oil tank to fasten a drain pipe & bung from a b12 airbox to drain the tank easily. Painted it with lidle gloss black. 2 Quote
clivegto Posted October 26, 2020 Posted October 26, 2020 Got a r1 lithium ion battery for the Turbo Magnum which has 144 cca. Tried it on my other turbo bike & it started up from cold but only just but its tichy even compared to the smaller than standard b12 one I use on the Turbo Scratcher. 1 Quote

Hi, I have exactly the same 2 batteries for my bikes. The big one works great on a GSXR1100 engined Harris and the small one on a little pitbike ! Not sure I'd put the little one on anything bigger than a small bike. 1 Quote

Am in two minds whether to risk using the smaller one but space is limited. 1 Quote
clivegto Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) Decided to use a turbosmart boost gauge which arrived today. Started to make cover for it from some 2 1/2 inch aliminium tube. Swaged t one end inwards with an adjustable rench & me trusty hammer then spun it in the little lathe to clean it up with some emery cloth. Still needs somat to fill the bottom as well as a bracket to stop it falling off. Edited October 28, 2020 by clivegto 7 Quote
SiBag Posted October 28, 2020 Posted October 28, 2020 Impressive job as swaging the end of the tube in. 1 Quote
Maggotbreath Posted October 29, 2020 Posted October 29, 2020 So that boost gauge is pneaumatic and has backlights? Quote
