The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

Sweet bike Agemax! If I saw you riding by, I'd think you were the Stig from Top Gear with that helmet. :cool:
 
Insanely nice bike. I saw some pics of your ride over at oldschoolsuzuki.com but these are much more detailed. Very very nice.

82 1100e

6" stretch, 98 ZX-7R front end. Changed motors since this was taken. 1260 at 12 to 1, oversize stainless valves, ported head, 36mm flatsides with pod filters, back-cut trans, Falicon billet basket, Falicon welded crank. I plan on taking everything apart to paint and chrome this winter.

Fun

Fun

Since I found a tire that was sticky enough to hook up, I'm having trouble keeping the front end down in 1st and 2nd. I may start running a wheelie bar, so I can get the full benefit of the hole-shot.

Very Nice work. I gotta ask some questions though:

What kinda swinger is that? Under brace is very cool.

17" wheels I'm guessing with 1st Gen 1100 forks?

Never seen the steering stabilizer mounted where you have; Work OK?

I see you are still looking for a Fork brace?

I see you adapted the brake calipers to the larger rotors; did you change out the wheel bearings to accommodate the 17mm axles in front or machine the fork to accept the 20mm 2nd gen axles?

Custom rear sets or off a 2nd Gen Gixxer?

What kinda rear shock you running? What is the length? Nice reservoir clamp on the bottle. You do all the machine work yourself?

fork brace now attatched eventually!

At the risk of sounding like a complete noob, what is the purpose of the fork brace?

stops the forks flexing when you are cornering and keeps the wheel pointing in a straight line compared to the yokes and handlebars. they will flex sideways when cornering hard without one

Agemax, love the exhaust. Are they still available anywhere?

its an original modified harris race pipe. they dont make them anymore but i believe a company called norman hyde in the uk makes their own very good replicas, so i have heard but dont take that as gospel. very loud though unless you get the street baffle version then they sound like a wet fart!

the ignition is lit up with led's. no oil cooler, the hose is a crankcase breather

Ah, you do know that the breather is a vent. Yea I know the stainless looks cool and all but think about it. As the motor runs there is a lot of pressure on the pistons and some of it blows-by the rings and gets into the crank case. This vapor actually builds pressure in the cases so you need a vent to keep it from building pressure. If you ever route the vent to a catch can like we have to, you would find all sorts of nice looking stuff in there. A mix of water, oil, fuel sludge. This is not something you want to just dump back into the motor.

Normally it vents into the intake and it burned by the motor. I would ditch the stainless or just leave it hanging at the top and add a catch can.

Like the looks of the bike. Post some pictures of the LED cover. Reminds me of all these computer cases now days. I like that high tech look!
 
>>the breather does go into a catch tank you just cant see it. here is another pic of the led lit cover.

I like it! The blue and red bolts/screws set it off nicely.


Ok, so I am still missing something. I take it there is a vent to the outside on the top of the catch can to prevent pressure build up. But what on earth is this line hooking to then? The drain of the can?

the crankcase catch tank has a vent to eliminate any pressure but generally there is no pressure build up

With you on the vent, now again where is this tube going to? The drain of the can?

It's your bike, you can hook things up anyway you want. I am just trying to understand what your doing is all.

it goes into the can, which is vented. just stops any spillage going on to the rear tyre or on the road

Agree, that's the point of the can. Sounds like your worried about it overflowing so you drain the sludge back into the engine. Are you hooking this line to the top of the can or the bottom?
