What is the wheelbase dimension ?

[Goosedog]

Just found this thread, awesome project bike! I love crazy shit like this that no one else understands. Props to ya man! Check out this YZ chopper build a guy did in my neighborhood.

[nitronaf]

wow check out that gangster fmf factory 4.1 titanium lol

now that thing is nuts.....i really like the chain braced seat. It reminds me of indian larry's chopper frame that was made from chain.

Here are a few pics from my trip to "tail of the dragon" i took over the weekend. I rode a 1985 Honda Sabre 700........i couldn't keep up with my buddies that were all on 06' and new crouch rockets. Even so, i still had a great time riding. Any one who rides needs to make it there at least once. Stay humble though and leave your ego at the base of the mountain......some guy was killed Saturday on the mountain.
















^tree of shame....bike parts from wrecks

P.S.
I plan on rebuilding the forks this weekend on the SM project.

[oldfastguy]

I'm gonna watch this project with great interest.
I have a zx6R track bike that spit Me off at high speed.
Been thinkin of makin something similar for logging roads and general madness & mayhem.
Motors been built by a Jordan racing mechanic 642cc makin about 100+hp.

Went to the GP last weekend..... For me it doesn't come close to Formula 1 when they were here (hope they come back) but, its better than the Indy 500. For me ovals are just to plain.....i'm all the about the road / street courses and hearing the cars bang through the gears and have braking contest into the corner........the just gets my blood pumping thinking about it











Getting closer and closer.....I need to repair where the exhaust stud threads into since it was damaged when the bike was dropped but, other than that its ready to be started.

To do list to ride:

Fix exhaust stud
Get pod filters
Jet kit
Sync carbs
Send gas tank to get finished

To do list for the street:

Head light
Tail light
Turn signals
Street tires
Insure
Plate



^ straight pipe exhaust

^just enough room for pod fitlers....need to pick up some wire loom also

Needs jets and the carbs need to be sync'ed.... #2 cylinder is not firing, i think the pilot might have gotten clogged again.

good job matey, bike sounds great, have to agree carbs need to be sync'd and pilot must be blocked as it was kicking in with the easy start spray.

this mite be some handy info...http://www.650motorcycles.com/CarbSync.html

[nelson8708]

Lately i've been busy working on my car (boosted sbf 302 in my 240sx), but i finally put a little time in on the bike. I went and got some more supplies to finish my sync tool and got a few drill bits so i can increase my main jet size. As of now i have a 40 pilot jet and a 106 main jet. Tomorrow i plan to sync the carbs (attempt # 2) and get the stuff needed to make the choke fast idle adjustable (thanks loudhvx). Earlier today when i adjusted the float level as best i could (time consuming as hell and my first timing do it). After that i took out the plugs to take a look at them and seems like #1 was running lean compared to the others and that is the one i had to raise the float level the most. I hope tomorrow goes well and i should be able to get on her a little bit (past 1/8 throttle) fingers crossed for tomorrow

nice build x2 (turbo SBF in a 240 sounds like a riot). not to get this off topic, but do you have a link for that build somewhere?

[nelson8708]

right now it more of getting the shell ready for the sbf. My buddy has a 302 out of a merc cougar and i'm going to get a t5 out of a old rustang. Doesn't look like much yet, but i hope to have it done by spring. Depends on funds and time

[nelson8708]

With the bigger jets and sync'ing the carbs she runs nice...still need to work on my pilot screw setting. Just picked up forza 3 so probably wont be getting much done on either project for a week or so

my gamer tag is nelson8708 if you guy want to get your ass handed to you

If your asking if i have bottomed them out then no, but i've grabbed as much from brake as i can with out locking up the front tire. The front tire clears the header and i like how the atf is acting vs regular fork oil. The heavier weight helps with having that heavy pig of a engine
