my name at work is "greybeard" and i kinda like it :blush:
Picked up a rolling frame from a TTR600 Belgrade last night for a song. Came with a beefy 51mm cartridge fork style front end and fully adjustable Olins rear shock, so suspension for Ragnar is almost sorted :woot: Just gotta get the fork emulators sorted and the changeover can begin.
Greybeard, like ragnor lothbrook.

Is that a bike muffler?

Love your work, mate.

 

Hay, has anyone ever heard of Bert Flood Motorsports? Absolutely fk all on google, but I bought a parts bike, and upon getting it home and having a real good look, turns out it was complianced by them, not yamaha. I am using the front end, and was hoping to get some info on this blokes motorsport program (and what he did to the suspension, as that is pretty much all that is on the frame), but there seems to be nudding on the web, and the company in question has done aero parts exclusively for a few years now :(

 

It was just 1 Rim and I have no idea... I could drive on it without issue. 
They told me it only takes 2-3 days.
F##k dude you're like the bad luck merchant. Need to be more positive. :-)

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?
    • Summernats cruiser?
    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
