Well its been a while since i posted an update on this, mainly because ive been to busy with work, to do anything on it, but also a couple of problems which took some time to resolve.
Ive got a Frank sanderson anti dive disk and wanted to fit tubless rims on it.
The problem is the caliper is on the mag side and hits the valve

.
The solution is to take the hub apart, and flip everything over, weld the tie bar lug on the other side of the forks

.
The next problem is the speedo drive then need to be on the mag side , but this then spins the cable the wrong way
The solution take the drive apart and flip that over

.
So i then fit the rim and realise that the hub/rim is not central and there are no more spacers to take out to centralise it
The solution, take apart again and put it in the lathe and machine it down , put it all back together, bish bosh jobs a gud un
I didnt want to cut the headset to fit the hydraulic hose, but through the switch housing ( a la Jason Frost method lol) ive done it before, and you need the hose and fittting that you make up yourself, a bit like plumbing fittings. so off i go to the local hydraulic specialist, "sorry we've stopped doing them, we only do the crimped ones now" arrrggghhhh
I wanted the footboard to have grip tape on instead of runners, i also wanted them fixed down without the nuts on the bottom , as they are a pain in the arse

. The original plan was to use Dzus fastners, but i couldn't get them to work satisfactory

so id shelved the idea and was going to go back to nuts , when i found a u clip in my box of bits and pieces. I quickly cliped it on and it worked a treat
The engine has been holding me up as well

mainly because i cant decide whether to water cool or not

as this is going to be my rally bike for next year i have decide not to w/c on the basis of K.I.S.S ( keep it simple stupid !) So its going to be a TS with a road tune, 58 (kiss), 60, or 62mm crank is the next decision
Ill post a few more pics over the next few days
