I am working my ass off after work and pretty much spend my weekends working on it..........ELMO is this week and it is going to take a day of work away from me, but I need to go out and support my friends.

"
Got my new grips put on and the clip-ons in what I believe are there permanent location."

Don't forget to leave clearance for the gloved hands that'll be holding on to the clip-ons.  We check to make sure that your fingers don't get pinched 'tween clip-on and bodywork/frame at full lock in both directions.

Check during assembly -- it'll save time and stress versus getting into tech, having an inspector point it out, then you have to adjust and get back in line.

Thanks Slim, I will check it when I build the steering stops.

The cases will be back from NRHS tomorrow afternoon with the bottom end assembled and fresh off of the balancing table. I hope to start final motor assembly very soon.

Finished up the coil mounts this evening and took the bike off of the lift so I could check steering clearances for the steering dampener and stops. I will start on both of the items tomorrow.





The bike off of the lift measures 36 inches to the top of the triple tree.

Hey Scott. looks awsome. I think you need to put a fairing on it. That'll put you in a different class but I'll suffer thru it, hahaha. I talked to Dan the other day and he said to not for get to change the oil!!! He also said that was the first time he had ever been able to finish an 18 pack before he got a motor balanced, but you should still be all right....  :-o  Lookin good tho and hope to see ya there.

My motor came in today from being balanced with the bottom end put together.


Here is the steering dampener I bought it is off of an 06' Suzuki GSXR and some angle iron to make the bracket to hold it to the frame.


Here are a few shots of the finished bracket.





Here is the bracket welded to the down tube.


And a few shots of the dampener mounted to the bike.

There's LOTS of stuff to like about this bike - not the least of which is the enthusiasm w/which you're pursuing it.  Thanks a BUNCH for sharing the build w/all of us - and I wish you much luck, learning and fun out on the salt.

Remember that fast is more than a number - and rinse that thing w/SaltX when you get home!

Thanks Ray, however I had a hard time reading your post with that rat-dog-demon-cat thing starring at me..........

Thanks for the tip on the Saltx, my bike will get tore down when I get home to actually paint it with something other than the rattle can paint I plan on using give it some color and keep it from rusting.
