clivegto Posted October 20, 2017 Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) Dropped the engin mount bracket of with Will to be welded up. Made a little bracket up to lift the back of the sub frame up by 3mm. Second pic is of the sub frame upside down. The battery box bracket on the back of the frame is off squwiff, don't know if that's original or has been added at a later date.

clivegto Posted October 22, 2017 Posted October 22, 2017 Cut the k4 back mud guard up & got it to fit not to bad. 2 Quote
clivegto Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Got the top back engine mount back after welding it needs a little cleaning up but am pleased with it & it is less than half the weight of the old one. Got a piece of m16 stainless a4 threaded bar & had a old shock mount as want a fully adjustable shock. Also had ordered a m16 tap as I didn't have one that big. Will be thread locked in position & it also has a m5 countersunk bolt to stop the bar from moving like a grub screw. 5 Quote
clivegto Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Got the ignition fitted with a little help from my grinder & a flap wheel. Clears the frame ok now. 1 Quote
clivegto Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 Gsxr Sam rang me yesterday, said he had another bit of the puzzle. It's a head light/faring mount adjustable for hight. When a faring is fitted it allows the lights to move with the yokes. Lovely bit of work its a shame it won't be seen that much. 8 Quote
clivegto Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Drilled some holes in the yokes & taped them out to m6 to fasten the lighting bracket on still needs spacing out a bit to clear the ignition switch, not much though. 1 Quote
Gsxrsam Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Would this work? Half the ignition mount........ 1 Quote

Dezza Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 I have a similar problem. The answer is to use a titchy aftermarket ignition switch, but finding a decent quality one is easier said than done. I am still looking after several years trying Quote

Dezza Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 Yes, I thought about that but it costs a bomb and I'm tight, and it's not Oldskool enough for someone like me - it's just too cool and trendy 2 Quote
Swiss Toni Posted October 27, 2017 Posted October 27, 2017 It's coming along great! Hats off to Sam for the fairing bracket! 2 Quote
clivegto Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Been messing around with foot peg position. This is about right for me, going to need @Gsxrsams help with these as well to make it fancy. 1 Quote
clivegto Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Going to use this little onda fairing as its way lighter than the cut down r1 one. Sorta goes with the lines I think. 2 Quote

clivegto Posted November 1, 2017 Posted November 1, 2017 Got this Nitron shock for my MWS slabby scratcher but it will not fit, it will fit this as I haven't done the swinging arm shock mount yet. 1 Quote
clivegto Posted November 4, 2017 Posted November 4, 2017 (edited) Knocked a adaptor plate up for the rear sets out of 3mm ally plate as a pattern. Edited November 4, 2017 by clivegto 2 Quote
clivegto Posted November 8, 2017 Posted November 8, 2017 Brackets for the fairing are broken of so would make my own with some ally. Need to get it welded up so will Have to go visit Will. Quote
clivegto Posted November 10, 2017 Posted November 10, 2017 Acetal lock stops made by hudson performance engineering. Bit expensive at £48 but they work, bsb use them apparently so must be good. Quote

clivegto Posted November 12, 2017 Posted November 12, 2017 Got a harris back caliper with the bike but one of the 2 bleed nipples was sheard of & the pads were rusted in. Managed to drill it out & re tap the thread. Leavened the pads out & poped the pistons out with a grees gun. Any one know what pads harris used they are 40x50mm ? 1 Quote
Macduff Posted November 12, 2017 Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) Wonder if the brake pads are Guzzi rear calliper pads v50? Just a guess based on the pads look similar to those Harrison 6 pots billets used which I think were guzzi rear pads. Edited November 13, 2017 by Macduff spelk error 1 Quote
