Rene EFE Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Need to make an outrigger to save me the headache of redoing the gearbox again. Does anyone have pics/drawings/anything that would help me get up to speed with how to go about it? I've seen 'em a million times but never had a proper look and now I need to make one myself...

kitkatman Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Try www.d&gchassis.net. May get some ideas from them, good luck. Quote Link to comment
dixiethedog Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Ive made a few of these. What I did was to lay the original sprocket cover over the alloy plate (with a sheet of paper stuck to it)and then dropped long bolt's (with a bit of dirt on the end's ) thru the original's cover to get my bolt hole pattern correct. Once done it was basically just drill the new hole's for mounting and cut the alloy out on the bandsaw . I' then make thing's pretty by sticking it in the milling machine. The last bit is not really needed though. I did on one of the cover's then machine a bearing holder and spacer piece that connected up with the round outside lip on an offset sprocket. Id need to have a search on my photof*ckit account to try to find some pic's. That may take some time! 2 Quote Link to comment
dixiethedog Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 This was the first one I made. On an old wobbly milling machine. Hence the uneven decorative slot's on the cover. This was I believe for an oil cooled engine. Quote Link to comment
dixiethedog Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 It wasnt really a support though. I cant find pic's of the one I made for my old EFE,but it was similar in principle to this one. These pic's are for a wide wheel conversion (nothing to do with me),which show's the working's of what you may need. Quote Link to comment
dixiethedog Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 I'll keep on searching thru my photof*ckit account to try to find my efe outrigger pic's. Quote Link to comment

Duckndive Posted November 27, 2016 Share Posted November 27, 2016 Click Me For Out-rigger plates I,ll have dig as an ET I broke a few years ago had D&G one on it Quote Link to comment
dixiethedog Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 The pic's are not the best, but they are the only one's I could find. I used an offset sprocket with a lip on the outside face. I machined a spacer type of thing that sat inside the lip with the other end machined to fit inside a bearing that was mounted on a machined part that bolted to the outer sprocket cover. The outer cover was a bit ugly, but it was made on an old wobbly mill. I need a new motor for my newer bigger and better milling machine,once thats sorted I could make something much nicer now.

homer Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Ok this is old topic but dont want to make a new. Have anyone modified stock cover to outrigger? I want stockish look but definately need supoort bearing. I have an idea how to do that but it would be nice to hear your opinions or even see some pics. Quote Link to comment

Yes I did, the oem sprocket cover was machined to take a slab of ali then that was machined to run a bearing and Chris Hannam supplied a one off cup sprocket to suit. Dont think I've got any photo's of it though, at the time I worked with a guy who was a great machinist and he was into bikes too so it for him it was easy.

kiwi Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 1980-1983 GS1100 TIG WELDED COUNTER SHAFT SUPPORT KIT THAT BOLTS RIGHT ON, WELDED ON THE INSIDE AND ON THE OUTSIDE, THEN FILLED WITH EPOXY FOR EXTRA SUPPORT. Only posted so you get the idea but it is very easy to do, but probably better to weld more internal webbing to strengthen up bearing support, but if i did it i'd keep outer face uncut and keep all work on inside, but on one shown if it was mine i'd of milled down the external sticking out piece. 1 Quote Link to comment
homer Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 My idea is to make plate just like d&g set has and mill down the original cover to be welded over it. That will be way stronger than welding straight to oem cover. Quote Link to comment
