sportstu Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 Well, it's been a while but there is progress!!! Exhausts havebeen made by Pete at PGW engineering, they are gorgeous and it was really tricky finding a route around all the things that needed avoiding lige gear links and rearsets. Anyway, I'm well happy and it was a bargain too. We've also extended the top shock bracket to allow the new Nitron R3 to clear the swing arm, made brackets for the new coils, made a battery box and new mountings for the compressions adjuster/reservoir and the hydraulic preload adjuster and had the bodywork back from the painter who has done a stunning job. You'll see that I have had it done in a style more similar to the 750 scheme. That's because this whole bike is a nod and a tribute to the AMA superbikes of old, and I think it'll look great. I've taken a few pics but the bodywork is only just sitting on there and the seat is yet to be re-covered but you will get the general idea. Next on the endless agenda is a partial strip down and final rebuild with gaskets, loctite and a torque wrench...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrodrims27 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 You are the ultimate ANTI-hack! You do everything the way most of us wish we could. Thank you for letting us tag along!! I'll admit that I check this thread sometimes twice a day to see if any new progress is posted. Will you be using an electric fuel pump or are you going to try gravity feed with the single inlet on the left side? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've removed the fuel pump on a cbr600f2 for racing and it fuelled fine so I think this should be ok. I will take the standard tap off and fit a inline one along with a large filter. You'd have to be using a fair bit of fuel to overcome the flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstu Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 It's been a while but I have been getting on with the bike slowly. I've solved a few of the niggly issues that were keeping me up at night but there are still many more to be done. Hoping to have it running on Friday!!!! I had to get the sprockets made because you can't get 520 pitch in alloy for these. Chain line looks good Got the generator fitted along with the flywheel. Saved nearly 2k of rotating mass.

sportstu Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 I've got a few more pics but VFRdiscussion says I can only upload 1.77mb. Anyone know how to sort this?? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Mikey Posted April 3, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted April 3, 2017 Hope you get it sorted, looking forward to more pics, awesome build sportstu! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstu Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 This is the cable clutch conversion. It actually works perfectly! Really pleased with it, nice light action and weighs much less that the hydraulic set up and keeps the left bar nice and clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstu Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 Managed to fit the rear master cylinder with clearance to the frame. In hindsight I would have chosen different rearsets but at least it's done now! Tomorrow I'm doing the cooling system and fitting the carbs. Nearly there..........

sportstu Posted April 15, 2017 Author Share Posted April 15, 2017 She starts and runs! Needs a full set up but the early signs are very positive. All of the bodywork is now quick release and I have to say I'm really happy with the overall look of it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
