She's Finished

<< < (4/4)

DomP:
Looks great, Did you flip the forks and caliper or was that already done?  I've done the same on my 550 but had a few people say as its no longer trailing it will cause issues, it doesn't seem to to me. 

Did you have to play with jets to get the pods to work?

Nashfly:
The project came with a front master cylinder and caliper from a mini-moto! Just one of the many bodges.....

Swapped the fork legs so the caliper sits behind the forks, had the disc drilled, fitted a braided hose and modern pads. With the reduction in the bike's weight the braking feels ok, but I  have an AP lockheed set up I could fit, if I think it needs improving

There seems no issues with the caliper behind the fork (I use a digital speedo, so the speedo drive is not an issue). I did the same on my TZ Yamaha and it's been working great for a many miles

For carburation I upped the pilots by 1 and the mains by 3 and it pulls really smoothly throughout the rev range. There is a slight popping on the overun,  so a little bit of tweaking is needed

neat street:
thaats a super looking bike, well done and hats of to you :-)

Murf:
Fantastic build looks great well done and so good that it is road going, should draw a quite a bit of attention.
