Scorch Cycles, Cape Town, South Africa

front forks arrived today, can now start to work out crank height, centre of gravity, wheel centres, triple clamp design
all that technical stuff that takes a lot of beer drinking  :D

 
Oh my indeed, in fact I'm becoming positively tumescent....  Going to be a good project to watch evolve. Good luck.
 
knocked up a set of custom made 10 degree angled, extended length, offset ported, 38mm inlet manifolds and a set of Velocity stacks so we can get bodywork on the roll





been stuffing around with a Pro Stock Hayabusa engine last 2 days and its $7,000 billet crankshaft and other really expensive bits  :o
making shite and learning stuff, pretty neat to see how the Suzuki factory design stuff, not seen too much modern kit apart from the inside of numerous Harley engines and they are not that exciting

 
Good point - and understandable for summit made in the 70s - early 80s!

Someone put some serious hours into that billet crankus!! I'm more interested in the Scorchy ;-)
 
That busa crank is nice. Did one for a roadrace sidecar recently, had to go right through the 'box undercutting as i went. Replaced layshaft 2nd and 3rd gears too. They get hammered in a chair...Solid shift fork rails went in too, OE flex...
 
just deleted some crap posts from this thread so if your dick jokes are missing, too bad

yesterday, raided my parts bin and started to sort out some Brembo items, Master cylinders and front brake callipers sorted
started working on the rear brake calliper hanger but got waylaid on the cush drive unit, machined a Zane rear rim and than made lots of swarf machining a custom cush drive unit to move the rear sprocket inwards
also bolted on the Motodd's headers to see what needs to be done for the exhaust system



 
enjoyed a productive day with Mark QLD while we played with some string, amazing what one can do with some Brickies string
we do have an issue though with sprocket alignment even after machining a custom inboard cush drive unit that is going to need even more tricky shite machined up
damn it Janet  :(

How much tyre clearance have you got ? I've been using 520 chain for just this reason on several big Post classics.
It's been lasting well too.
Click to expand...

going on calculations we will have 1mm chain to tyre clearance but I really need to get a slick mounted on the rim I have machined so that I can confirm that
don't really wish to buy a brand new slick at this stage, was hoping Cosomonaut would wear his out at Morgan Park last meeting but no luck there
