    Yeh, definitely need to decide on mufflers before jetting and dyno, the exhaust it definitely louder with the overbore. not sure what I'll do, didn't really want mufflers, wanted a twin yoshi look...but I don't want it to be offensive to ther road users or to give me a headache, just not sure...

    Im really happy with the bike, rides beautifully, perhaps a little loud now, will start thinking about proper muffler ideas instead of just baffles, also an oil cooler is on the cards. sprokets still need to be changed, revs are up way too high at highway speeds. will be really happy if I can...

    the end.....kinda the end.....kinda So I kind of intended this to be my last post on this build thread before I went back to forum lurking, but, the bike isn't finished with me. finished exhaust, brakes etc. the 33mm smoothbores ended up having a few parts missing around vacuum sealing them...

    Static timing, Dyna 2000 on 1150

    Ive done a bit of searching for a manual for an 1150 but found nothing online, except for buying one, and although bikecliffs site has the 1100 one i wasn't sure if there was a difference between 1100 and 1150s My relative inexperience with timing on engines in general would probably have led to...

    It's a sight to behold Pete, a bunch of crazy dudes on pre 80s smokers screaming around the track... seems to be a very popular class right now. i reckon 9000 of those views are just me checking i posted the pics ok :p or maybe there a more closet cafe fans than we think ;) Ive taken so long...

    As usual chuck pretty close, 77 PE 250, hope you end up getting one too �� Unsure what hat I'll do with it yet, have some mates that race vintage flat track and they are encouraging me to have a go and they think I could make the bike competitive, but I'm leaning towards...

    Sorry Pete, only just saw your reply. You know i never considered the potential for igniting fumes using a household fan :eek: But nothing happened....so in my case it seems ignorance is bliss.. some update pics, exhaust is taking a little longer than i though. but most other things are...

    T8's 750 Cafe Racer Project

    I've got to say the m-unit was the best thing I purchased for my build, I also bought their wiring kit and two 3 button control blocks as well. Re-wiring from scratch i found fairly easy and left things far less cluttered. I also used an SH-775 and a dyna 2000 kit with coils...no fuses or...

    So i decided to anodize the swing arm and some other bits and pieces black. I initially wanted to keep it alloy, but it was in poor condition and apparently if you anodize clear the welds come out black due to silicone content, or something along those lines. So i went with black, the finish...

    Thanks for the brake advice Lime, im just going to work with the standard nissin 4 pots from the VTR for now, but i was looking long and hard for cbr600F4i 4 pots, or SP1/2 calipers as these are considered good upgrades on the VTR forums. I already have an SP1 m/c. I got the gen1 hayabusa/gsx...

    Info for anyone that might do this triple/fork/hub/disc swap. Spacers for the discs were 23mm, wheel spacers were slightly different as the hub isn't symmetrical. Very tight margins for clearance between disc and forks. spacers tight Also finished off the battery tray and most of the...

    All good Chuck, don't go out of your way, i was just wondering if you had happened to look at the bolts. Judging by the look of the rear spoke wheel hub i don't think they will work without boring out 5-10mm our of the thread in the hub, that 10mm shoulder in the bolts looks to go a fair way...

    Hey Chuck, did you end up finding out if those 10mm shoulder bolts work? Ive got my 1100F disc, and using the hayabusa caliper with a gsx750 brake stay in an under slung setup. Before i re-drill the disc i thought id see how you went with the bolts?

    More modern cartridge fork options - retaining GS wheels & proper/revised geometry

    Great thread Chuck, i think it should be a keeper really. I should mention that i am using GS1000GK triples with the 41mm VTR1000 forks, no need for bearing changes etc. Although it then means you have to have max offset discs as well as disc/wheel spacers made up and change wheel bearings if...
