Finally retired and building my project bike
Oddjob:
Curious as to why you didn't cut the frame and fit the kit which allows the cylinder head to be removed whilst in situ, you seem to be competent enough to tackle that little job.
Trigger:
Nice to see a bit of skilled workmanship. ;)
No need to cut the frame or remove the engine when it has been built correctly
gamma:
I did consider this, and I did cut of bits that I didn’t need, like rear foot rest mounts, seat hinge, and air filter mountings etc: I think that the frame break kit is quite substantial and I didn’t want to compromise clearance for the rest of the installation like different tank etc: but I’ll probably live to regret it😂 When I need to do any work on the engine. I do have a spare frame though.
I wrote this before your post Trigger😂😂😂
Trigger:
I built one a few years ago now, just from bits that was laying about. It rode and handled very well with the seat height dropped. One of those bikes that now regretted selling >>> http://www.sohc.co.uk/index.php/topic,16659.msg140815.html#msg140815
gamma:
Very nice bike Trigger.
I’ve just read your project bike for £1000. Looks great too. Interestingly when I converted this build to twin disc, I also removed material from the RH lower fork leg caliper mounting point.
