Good day?Bad Day?Final assembly was going great today modified clutch casings actually fitted with no problems the coatings done by Chris Negus at B.E.look teriffic thanks Carl/Chris/Pete/Trev only thing is it makes the other casings look shabby so it looks like some more bits may be heading your way see ya monday.
Then there were the yolks(triple trees) I was sure i had measured everything at least ten times,I made drawings had C.N.C.Programes written Cheers Gary and when I came to assemble them found that I had measured wrong on the size of the tubes
It could have been worse at least the pitch of the tubes was spot on and I only had to re bore the Dia only problem was I over bored by .25mm which meant i had to enlarge the clamping slits
They seem to fit well now but it aint half awkward trying to assemble a front end that aint quite right by yourself,lift the bike,and do the clamping bolts with only two hands.
I can fit the lock stops bar location bolts and various other s@*%# and try and re assemble again tomorow.
Then its rear brake asembly I have made a carrier but its so close to other stuff it isnt funny if it fits I will post a few pictures if it dosent i will wait till it does.
I Think there will be one more flurry of photos and then it is all going to be wiring piping and final setup before Dyno time its a very exciting and worrying time for me,Has it been worth it?
Myself I think so,even without any results from the Dyno I have learnt so much from this build in the way of what goes into making a bike goes fast,before this it has always been purely asthetics and bull@#<? Will it be any good ?
I dont know I really hope it will be otherwise I have spent alot of time and money on what could end up to be one helluva fast road bike that aint much good around town or even for distance.
Final Photos to follow.
