I don't know what style it fits into other than my own, so I just call it "Mjölnir"

Looks good mate How well does it run with those short pipes?

I runs really well. According to a plug chop mixture is dead on (larger mains), and it idles perfectly forever. It does seem to bog a bit if I try to go from cruising at ~2,000RPM to WOT.. I'm assuming if I added baffles or a muffler it would help with throttle response, correct?

I'm no expert on exhausts so I won't try to pretend I know the answer, it's just that the pipes looked like they might be a little bit too short for it to run well-I guess they can't be though if it runs ok
As for it bogging down I think most engines do if you crack them wide open from low revs.

Chuck some lowbrow baffles in there and you will notice a big increase in power id imagine..

I did anyways! Mine idled well before too but had a flat spot that I didnt really notice untill I slid the baffles in.

 

[the_nutt]

Tron, that's exactly what I was planning (already ordred baffles) but your description is exactly what I was hoping for!

Oops I did it again

Doing fork seals, gaitors, master cylinder, and brake line on the front end. Had to get the swingarm out of the way to remove the passenger peg mounts, and will do brass bushing since I have it out.

Got some parts in and got outside this weekend to trim the passenger peg and center stand mounts. Hope you guys had a good weekend!

Finally got my Brembo caliper installed but I ran into an issue this morning. Looks like my new braided line is leaking from where the hard line disappears into the nut that tightens into the caliper. I emailed Shaun at Slingshot (where I got the line) but do you guys have any ideas in the meantime? I'm itching to ride...

I assume it is a flared line? I the ID centered in the flare and un-boggered? If not you could cut if off and reflare, assuming the flex lines have enough slack to allow stop to stop travel on the centerstand.

Yeah, its brand new. I didn't think about trimming it...

Got it sorted: detached the line from the caliper and carefully re-seated it. After bleeding it again I tested it and the leak is gone.

That shot with the grinder is rad.

Thanks! Long exposures are some of my favorite photos to shoot.

Bike looks good, and fun... keep up the good work.

Thanks! I need to post some update photos before I tear apart the seat again...

Buddy of mine caught me out on a shakedown run this week. Love how this bike feels, its perfect for getting into trouble around town. Going to figure out exhaust and probably going to do a new seat with a cowl soon.

 

[the_nutt]

I found a secluded little area to rip around in the dirt right by my house in the city today. I had my camera with me and the sun was setting, so I snapped a few photos...

Ah, I guess I should list what I did since the last time I tore it down and put it back together:

Removed passenger pegs
New swingarm bushings
New fork seals
New fork boots
Brembo brake and braided brake line
Blasted/powdercoated my hubs and laced new rims/spokes
Smaller black headlight

I'm going to redo my seat and exhaust sooner than later hopefully...

Dude why are you redoing the seat? In my opinion that seat makes the bike! It turned out way nice for home made too!

Thanks for the kind words! I need to update the seat because the front 3" of the seat doesn't have padding and is wearing through the fabric. It also rubs a bit over big bumps. I'm not going to change it much; I just want to do a little fender/cowl type thing.
