I forget where I saw it but someone here showed the difference between the 2 and the 1150 had a ramp on one side where the oil would divert from the engine to the cooler in equal amounts

It doesn't divert in equal amounts. Try bikebandit.com, that is where I got mine.
 
stymede again,

I was told the srad 750 lower triple would work with the 954 upper but nooooo. doesn't work. offset is still wrong. they are closer thant the 93's but not quite there.

thanks lad's for the lelp with the oil filter cover. Haven't found one yet though.
 
Hey katman,

I happen to have an extra oil filter cover for an 1150.

Do you want it? :lol: :lol:

Email me with you address and I'll ship it out to you.

I just got my oil cooler and it had the oil adapter fitting for the back of the cylinders too but I already have one on my top end oiler so I will be selling it if anyone wants it give me a shout.
 
mounted the oil cooler today.

had to fab some mounting brackets. Looks good, I am glad I held out for the one that fits. Notice the anodized fittings?? It was an ebay purchase and it came with them and about 8feet of s/s line.

She is starting to come together and I am seeing the fruit of my endless labour.

finally got my cases back from powder coater...................

thought I would check the bearing support kit for fit before sending them off to the builder today.

Hrm. I'd like to know more details about that bearing support outrigger dealie... does it help manage the problem with sprocket offset for wider wheels?
 
That is exactly what it is for. It comes with a 5/8 offest sprocket and an out bearing to take some of the load off the countershaft bearing.

I am told it isn't needed for a street bike but it does look kool don't it.

I am pretty hard on the throttle and don't want any premature bearing failure. I want this motor to go the distance so I am making it as bullet proof as I can.
 
ran the oil lines today. this isn't my motor just empty cases for alignment.

Looks expensive, but that's basically what I'd like to end up doing to my engine-- turn it into a bullet proof fire breathing street motor :twisted:

I suppose it doesn't hurt that it looks very cool...
 
Sweet, Sweet, Sweet- that is gonna be the ultimate Kat. Press On, Ed

Hey Katman. So what do you think your eta is for getting this bike done?
I am just curious how long until you get to ride it? I know mine is taking forever :roll:
 
Well bud.....it has been forever too.

I started this trek in late Aug. 03.

My cases are in the shop and can be put together now. Got the cylinders back this weekend so they will be on the way too. The head eta was a month so maybe another two weeks for it then I have to powder coat the head and back to shop for assembly and competion of engine.

The chasis is 95% done and I just have to find a set of good shocks.

I am hoping by the second week of Aug. Which will make this a year of .............well. you know. It has been fun though and I have learned a ton.

I just bought a kat frame and may be puting another one together...shhhhhhhhsshhhh don't tell my wife. lol.
 
Cool :) I wont say a word. LOL!
Sounds close to my story then too.
Same here, late August and about the same ETA.

*sigh* :|

I will ride it again someday.
