Getting really close Dave. When do you expect to initiate the blue smoke manufacturing process?

Re: Here i go again ..
Nice house. If I tried that at home, I think I'd be sleeping in the garage with the bikes
What are you doing about mufflers and will you attach them to the stingers? I need to work that out for some that I am modifying so I need your good ideas before I come up with less good ideas. Seems to me that your solutions are often neater than mine.

Re: Here i go again ..
Thanx Richard , My thought has been toward welding the stinger / silencer core hard to the chamber and just have the outside of the silencer slide off to repack . That way i will not have to make up a flange to bolt to or springs to hold a slipon type . I got in the carbon fiber tube i had ordered but as you already saw its pretty thick and with that its way more heavy than i thought it would be .. the 35" section i purchased weighs close to 5lbs

Re: Here i go again ..
I am soooo jealous that your bike is so near to completion and I am sat twiddling my thumbs waiting for my cylinder head to be returned from machining.
Looks great Dave

Re: Here i go again ..
I did toy around with making a set of silencers today , i picked up a 35" length of carbon fiber tube off ebay so i sawed it up into 3~ 10" long sections and then made up end caps from a old set of steel silencers i had made before for another project

Re: Here i go again ..
Changing from the fuel injection system to carbs required changing fuel pumps over to a low pressure carbed model . I was happy to find this pump with level senders in very good shape .. one more problem off the list

Re: Here i go again ..
pardon my ignorance Dave, but does that pump fuel (gas) straight to the carbs or to a header tank which then feeds the carbs via gravity?
