Yes this is the same Mudguard.



And for my next trick I'll just have to wait around for a Cure.

So far so good

 

That is not a crack in the front of the Guard but Gel Coat build up as there slight imperfections in the Plug.
But I am more than happy with this, now I can have a shot at having a reasonably decent Mudguard.
On to the next step. Wax on Wax off  :cheers:

Well I laid it up on Monday and have just Released it from it's confines, it came straight out   8-) 8-) 8-)

     

It's plenty good enough for what I am doing. It weighs 1.2kg and the Plug was 1.5kg. I reinforced the area where the larger front joins the Fork indents.

It is mounted on the front and the rear of the Forks. So it is evenly supported.

Find out if it mounts up without too much flex tomorrow.

So far so good.  :cheers: :cheers: :cheers:

Flex was a problem for me with a similar setup.  Eventually I made some little metal struts to brace the fender.  They connect the outside edges of the bottom of the fender to the ends of the front axle.

A lot of heavy and wet NaCl can collect inside those fenders if the salt is in a mood for it.  This is something to consider when figuring out the strength of the attachments.

Had a few clearance problems that where not there with the plug, the Glass sides just rubbed on the USD Forks. The Plug had Ally on the sides and had clearance but it was tight. I trimmed it up and will do a little tidy up, but it will do as a test unit. If it works, I'll make a small mod to the mold at a later date.

     

Once it was mounted it has virtually no flex :D :D

Well a quick paint and that's it, the Bike is ready, so on to the Tech Day then!!!!!!!

Everything is crossed for Feb

Oh this is the Paint job, the Bike might be ready but still got to tidy up the trailer and fit out the Tow Car so I can fit all the gear in it to do the 2800 mile round trip and part of it is the Dirt Road.

It's no drama I love the Trip to Lake G, you just got to make sure everything is secured and Dustproof, the first year I went I had more dust inside the Trailer than on the outside   :-o :-o

I learn't that you have to Pressurise the Trailer with a vent. Next year in, clean as a whistle, inside :cheers:

This is the 300cc engine I have put together with the 38mm Lectrons fitted. Still a few things to do before it's ready to run.

   

I now have a 250 and 350 Class engines, but I will run the 250 only this year.

Counting Down to the 18th.  :cheers:

Thanks

Mr Suzuki is the real culprit here :-)

The Aprilia 250 motor is basically the same as motor as a 1991 - 96 Suzuki RGV 250.

I got 2 motors, one from my original 1993 Suzuki RGV (this motor pictured) and one 1999 Aprilia RS250 version (that's in the bike and I will run it at DLRA Speedweek in Feb).

This motor has a 300cc "big bore" kit, and I've made new intakes so I could fit the Lectrons.

I have put the Aprilia outer cases on, as you can see the front sprocket is easy to get to and makes any gearing changes that little bit easier. (the Suzuki cases completely cover the sprocket and I did not want to modify them)

I bolt on an Ally plate to cover the sprocket. This motor is part of the future plan I hope. :cheers:

I envy your project.
