Member Contributer Chev Posted October 23, 2009 Member Contributer Share Posted October 23, 2009 I wonder, Do you plan on going around a 15 ft radius turn at 35 mph or 75....... the forces between the two are drastically different. Maybe somewhere in between? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer redmarque Posted October 23, 2009 Author Member Contributer Share Posted October 23, 2009 Jamie.... :laugh: Sometimes the 'Mate' proccess in SW can be a pain.. (or more likely my understanding of it) Designed/added the steering linkage; it's now put the ball joint/fork position out of place. :cool: Will need to add some 2mm stiffening plates to the arms. pivots; using M8 rodends Do you guy's think it's worth perchasing radial calipers to use with the 296mm braking wavy discs, or should I continue with the conventional yamaha blue spot ones I had before? bear in mind the master cylinder is 2005 R6 brembo radial model.

Member Contributer redmarque Posted October 23, 2009 Author Member Contributer Share Posted October 23, 2009 (edited) Here's the new bench I've made for the new build.. nice and flat. Top is 5mm thick rolled steel. note the giant t-square used to re-measure the engine with. Edited October 23, 2009 by redmarque Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Good work on the bench. Have you thought of building a motor stand and tacking it directly to the table? Would make wrenching easier! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEBSPEED Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Oh, and BTW, did you ever happen to weigh your MkI chassis and compare its weight to that of the OEM? I'd be pretty interested in knowing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you thought of building a motor stand and tacking it directly to the table? Would make wrenching easier! Kinda.. i made this stand so that the exhaust could stay on and everything would be level. even has a cut-out for the drain plug When i've stripped the old frame i'll put it on the scales and let you know. I remember weighing it before, but without the stearing assembly attached to the frame; it was about the same as stock IIRC. New frame 'should' be bit lighter.

Member Contributer redmarque Posted October 23, 2009 Author Member Contributer Share Posted October 23, 2009 OK! things that really fried my noodle on MK1 were the rear engine mounts! Mr Honda decided that they should be of different heights and not in line with each other. :laugh: Solution: keep the frame symetrical and use mounting plates to to allow for the difference. Note the left offset of the rear shock top mount- single sided swingarms though looking good cause headaches! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer redmarque Posted October 24, 2009 Author Member Contributer Share Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) Designed the rear subframe... single seater only this time. next which seat unit should I use?

Veefer800Canuck Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 How about an RC211V replica tail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer redmarque Posted October 28, 2009 Author Member Contributer Share Posted October 28, 2009 Couple of small updates. purchased a set of 04-06 R1 Raidal Calipers. I'll need to modify the hossack fork design to fit these! :offtopic: measured/added the Ducati 748/916 Radiator to the model. Packaging packaging!

Member Contributer redmarque Posted October 28, 2009 Author Member Contributer Share Posted October 28, 2009 Any concerns about debris getting kicked up with that radiator being so low? Yes.. I'd like a more V -shaped radiator but have yet to find an suitable rad from another bike that would fit the space. Could always add a mesh guard over it though?

I'd like a more V -shaped radiator but have yet to find an suitable rad from another bike that would fit the space. Could always add a mesh guard over it though? How about two VTEC rads? (slightly larger than 5th gen) Right side up front(has fill neck), left side under the tail with a computer fan? You could add a contour to the right rad by bending it in a wooden jig in a vise; someone here did that with an oil cooler... might fit under the lower triple that way? Connect with aluminum tubing to dissipate heat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Connect with aluminum tubing to dissipate heat? Sounds promising.. a bit like a benelli tornado with under seat mount rad and fans? Or.. how about a couple of ktm 640/superduke side ones? mounted at a slight top tipped over and inwards? could add a small rad under the seat too for extra cooling like you say?

SEBSPEED Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 Nothin wrong with a little junk in the trunk... :comp13: The db rads would likely be too small on their own, a third might make a feasible system, dunno for sure though. Edit... If you have a large conventional front mount rad laying around of the correct width, you could cut it down between rows to reduce its height,and pipe it down to a dirtbike or VFR side mount rad, similar to the VF750 setup: Horrible MS Paint...
