It has been a while since I could work on this, but we are trying for Speedweek since my APS bike is ready and loaded. The first pic may not seem very interesting, but it is a real lesson in reading the rule book correctly AND looking at the manufacturers parts closely.
I had lengthened the swing arm early in the project, adding just over 5 inches to the stock 55.3" wheelbase. Sounds logical, but that is wrong. The rule book reads MAXIMUM wheelbase can be 10% over spec. Well, it turns out spec is with the axle slid all the way forward. This means you can only add 10% MINUS the maximum adjustment range in the swing arm. Today I took the extra wheelbase out, to bring me back to 60.8" maximum wheelbase. I took out enough to put the back of the window one-half axle width behind the max wheelbase.
When I reassembled and adjusted the axle all the way back, I could only get to 60.2" max wheelbase. I have now learned that the window in the swingarm is longer than available travel of the chain adjustors. It seems there is a little arrow, in the adjuster casting, on each side. Honda makes the window long enough to see the indicator when the axle adjusters bottom against the end caps. I'm guessing they want you to see that there is no chain adjustment left when the arrows hit the end of the window....not the axle. I hope this helps someone else figure out how to avoid my chain of mistakes.
The second photo shows our water cooling tank, since we dont have enough room ahead of the engine for a radiator.. Much more to do, but at least it is moving forward.
