Well I finally started my project....

Nice They'll look good. I've always like these risers

those are nice.... I'm sure I'll end up making mine or building the risers in the bars.. I'm having to do this on the cheap... Married with two daughters= always broke....

 

[jdizon]

Build the risers into the bars! That would look cleaner. I had these on mine mounted under the top tree until I decided to go with clip-ons for more sweep.

 

[jmink427]

Those are pretty cool lookin'......

 

[jdizon]

Thanks. Can't wait to see what you come up with

 

[desmodromic]

might want to check if your carbs clear your frame, unless your already have,I had clearance issues with the air pods or stacks mounted to them.

Not to criticise your build, because I do like the work on the tank and those bars and other stuff, but that rear shock set-up has been bothering me. Maybe some one can fill me in on how the shocks are supposed to work when the distance from the pivot on the swing arm to the lower shock mount is lots longer than the distance to the upper shock mount. Doesn't the sweep of movement to collapse the shock and provide suspension need to be in the same arc? It would seem that all you are doing is side loading the shocks and decreasing the collapability of the shock as the angle increases.

 

[jmink427]

Shouldn't be an issue on the springs other that I will have to increase the spring rate and maybe change to a different shock to get the damping that I want.

 

[jmink427]

O.k the shop is warmed up and I'm going in! Goal, to get the tank mount done today! Nobody bother me!

 

[jmink427]

Got the tank mounts moved and engineered.... Now the tank is in it place it just needs some body work, I'll do that later.... Now to make up a set of window bars... Right after I have a cold Ziegen Bock...

 

[jdizon]

Nice progress! Get her done

 

[jmink427]

Time for another Ziegen Bock.. I'm gonna look at these bars I fabbed up a little bit ago...

 

[Johnt3]

Looking good jmink427. How do they feel to ya?

 

[jmink427]

They don't feel bad, but of course I'm not riding either.. .. If I don't like them I really don't have a lot in them.. I got plenty more tubing, I'll just make another set...

 

[Johnt3]

Good deal. Looks like ya got plenty of ventilation for the pits.

 

[h3llb3nt1]

Thats really coming along nicely. The stance looks comfy. Great job man

 

[jmink427]

Thinking about wiring... I thinking just keep it simple, probably be kick start only...

Might just do the same. I can't figure out a way to make the electric starter and solenoid/relay look clean

 

[jmink427]

I couldn't keep a battery on my anyhow and always had to kick start it, plus it will shave a few pounds as well...

Are you running a PMA?
