It's a good thing we all don't like the same thing. Would be pretty boring...

To much black as it goes with my taste but, very nicley done as it goes with the rest!

Finished installing Mark's 4-2 stainless exhaust and Sean Morley flat braced swingarm. Plenty of clearance with the flat brace and Mark's pipe. The pipes sound great. The motor ran great as-is. I actually had to turn the idle down a bit, it gained a couple hundred RPM, after installing the Mark's pipes.

The flat bracing requires a ton of cut and weld work for us but I think it's a very good looking setup when we get done. How much extra room did you end up with? Please send me some pics and i'll post them up to my facebook too!

thanx prez!

so i stayed true to my word and went and got my front wheel and taped off the inside of the rotors for some black paint. i actually tapped and died the rotor bolts and threaded holes with how easy they get gummed up with the loctite.

thinking of maybe doing some SS regular hex-head mounting bolts with some washer spacers. i dunno though...

No doubt about it Garrett! Involves a little tapeing but a nice result IMO.

Sean

Will do Sean. I have a good inch of clearance. I did something wrong in reinstalling the differential. I'm getting a rattling noise when I pulled in the clutch and shifted into first gear. I immediately shifted back to neutral. It also rattles when the bike is rolled. It seems like the drive shaft is not in the u-joint. I have to pull the rear wheel off to fix it. I'll get some good photos then, and send them along.

oh yea spent about 2 hours masking last night.

little acetone and brass brush should make quick work.

 

[gamorg02]

hey is anyone near their v-max? can you get me a measurement of how much room there is between the front forks and the rotor bolts?

I just keep taking more and more parts off. The weather is slowly starting to turn around. I think I need to stop removing stuff and put it back together soon!

 

[CaptainKyle]

Well I sold Naughty G & RichWrenches vmax to the same person Yesterday. Today I will be doing a lot of bead blasting & prepping stuff for powder coat on an 89 a customer brought me. Once again the paint job on my 85 is getting put to the side in favor of a customers bike. Oh well mine dont make me money.

I didn't know Rich was selling his bike?! Did he get something else?
