Great story telling... I wish I had it in me to write a trip report like yours Miguel...

Thanks... yes it could have been Cad and CNC'd but cost the for one set would be so great that I might as well buy the $540.00 Ohlins mounts... hand made one off custom parts make more sense because all you need to invested in is your sweat equity...

Thanks... but I don't know the particulars at this point...

Some breaks but a lot of the time was spent figuring out what I needed and how to go about cutting it...

The belt drive conversion status is AWP... (A Waiting Part)... BMW needs to ante up the belt I ordered... I may bring the whole mess down to Bubbas Laguna Seca so everyone can get a feel for the parts...

I'd be happy to look at the project... bring it by the Busy Little Shop sometime... PM for address...

This is my magnesium caliper mod that kicked my butt... and I needed my butt kick because I get too cocky in the Busy Little Shop... I started with a 10 pound block of magnesium... one set Brembo billet calipers and my engineering drawing... With a metal bandsaw I cut out the basic shape and then chips started to fly on the Milling machine... For 20 days I was a slave to the machine like in Fritz Lang's movie Metropolis... Compound curves require intense concentration and excellent hand eye coordination... one wrong turn of the handles and it's crying time... Looks just like the drawing... no??? I'm happy since they came out perfect and tip the scales at only 6 ounces each... that's 2.5 ounces lighter than the aluminum radial mount Ohlins sells... All in all what started as 10 pounds of magnesium ended up as 6 ounce caliper mounts in 20 days... the fall out of metal particles coated everything...

Larry, Larry, Larry......... You go to The Island soon yes? You want to compliment a female on her round buttocks yes? You expect to live yes? :P Note then that fanny in the UK is a vulgar term for vagina... :beer: And shagging has nothing to do really with a shag carpet (although it helps keeping skin on your knees) Be safe!!! Thanks for the PM Leon... as you know my Island plans have changed... I understand "shag" but I had no idea that "fanny" was vulgar... thanks for the tip... I never wish to sound vulgar...

You're welcome Jim... good job... My install employs what you see but what you can't see is a second bolt that secures the bottom of the R/R to the black plastic hugger... it's just there to steady the weight of the R/R from stressing the upper mount...

Bad as in bike flambe... (Note this in not Mr.RC45... rather it's a pic from a female RC45 owner over in England... and as you can guess it was one hot ride... she almost roasted her fanny... and such a sweet one at that...)

What's next???... Buell belt... Carbon Fiber wheels... composite matrix brake dics... Mr.RC45 will never been done... It's OK Rob... I give the Yamaha ha ha R/R a acetone bath... it don't smell like stinky inline any more...

After trouble shooting for year and buying a new R/R and a new Stator Mr.RC45 still operated as if it were a total lost system... so I also copied the R1 rec reg mod... major job as usual on bike this tight for extra space... had to mill off 1/2 inch off the fins and then design and machine a custom aluminum hanger... now I show a constant 13.7 to 14.2 volts... credit goes to Origional007 for the idea and my thanks goes to Chris for all the help... I shall recommend this mod to other RC45 owners... (Note to Chris... are you sure your + - is correct on your wiring diagram???)

Just finished my R1 rec reg mod... major job as usual on this bike... had to machine 1/2 inch off the fins and then cut a custom aluminum hanger... now I show a constant 13.7 to 14.2 volts... thanks Chris for the idea and all the help... I shall recommend this mod to other RC45 owners...
