Hey Bryan ....those mounts should send a tingle to the dingle .
"Good..... good ......good...good vibrations "as the Beach Boys used to sing.

Bretto, Mate, my top front engine mounts have evolved into this........

You'll be up for application for admission into the fitting hall of fame or shame in may ......hmm theres a trophy idea?
At the discretion of the assembled league of fitters in attendance.

I was saying to Paul yesterday that as much as the Cagiva (read Dcati) was making a mechanic out of me, this conversion project is making a fitter out of me....... and that's  OK

right - back onto it after a brief sojourn to Stanthorpe and a bunny cull.....
Engine cases in the frame (ready for Dave Kellett's ministrations)
I had to grind some off the cases to make clearance off the swingarm....
I can slip a piece of wet and dry thru the gap - Steps tells me that abt 0.02mm




well now.... what do we have here in today's mail - thx Stuart....

1. yo, a good monoshock setup is waay improved ride and feel over
twin pogos which went extinct in the 80's..
2.with forks,  too low is hopeless, combined with low 17" front
 radial  bike becomes twitchy as f#k,  grinds the road on any hint of bumps.. screw-in extensions are the go
3. some sealed bearings have only a touch of grease inside..
4. in real world 2 or 3 inches extra longer wheelbase than stock means jack.. bike lazier to swing around tight stuff but super-stable feel allows you to remove remove hands from bars and lay back and use a dining table for lunch on the tank whilst still riding...
5.need to notch the frame for chain clearance

[AussiXS11G]

Oh yes indeed......wish me luck!
