Covering some chain guide clearance issues, rear wheel assembly and rear brake as well as the right side rearset clearance with the kickstarter plans.

good stuff! i have that same rear monocaliper
just a suggestion, probably more work than it would be worth but if you want to mount the rearset closer to the frame, you might be able to modify the rear brake lever to fold outward so when you kick start it, you can fold the brake lever out of the way then start it. then when you're done fold the brake lever back. i would think if its hinged to fold outward only it wouldn't mess with the up/down motion of the using it as a brake since you're pushing straight down opposed to out... although if you did this i'm sure you would want a spring to hold it in, and some kind of lock to hold it out when you're kicking. although it might screw with using it with a front wheel in the air! xD keep it up, duckman.

Duck, You are building the penultimate cafe racer. At my age, rapidly approaching 70, I am inspired by you.
To that end, I have bought a running Honda 450 along with a parts bike, and plan to build a cafe racer like I cherished in the 60s. It will not be a rocket like you are building but I hope it will be retro enough to elicit fond memories of the "Rockers". It will not be a slug. I expect that it will perform rather nicely. Will keep you posted on my progress. Have TIG Welder.

first time I have seen this thread, pretty cool.
Did you just tear the top end down and put it back together, clearly not new piston, what about rings? cylinder doesn't look honed? You need to pressurize that head pipe and heat it up get rid of that dent gotta love a good looking fat head pipe What kind of gearing you gonna run on this thing? Flywheel weight might be a reasonable idea as well What kind of life expectancy do you have for the top end? That was always one of my main concerns about building a Sumo from a 2stroke dirt engine. I didn't want to be doing top end rebuilds every 80hrs of ride time and changing crank case oil ever 5hrs of ride time give or take Pretty cool! Keep us posted, there is another guy that recently been posting and since you have been gone you might not have seen any of his stuff. He built a street bike with a banshee motor pretty awesome! @Vintage Smoke relative thread https://www.ninjette.org/forums/show...banshee&page=2 Video of bike https://www.ninjette.org/forums/show...4&postcount=54

I am keeping quite busy. I will do a video tour of the yard soon. Without a woman bossing, occupying my time, spending all the money, and taking up space I'll have A LOT more freedom to do what I want to do. I'm not sure how I did, but somehow I survived the last 3 years with her. Couple quick things SkeeterTheDuck and I wound up in a very small part in a John Schneider written and directed movie. Watch for Smothered which should be coming out soon. It has A LOT of horror film baddies in it all starring together. Picture Jason vs Leatherface vs Otis B. Driftwood vs Michael Meyers as well as the Christine Movie Car and a big bunch of other names... but all the above are victims for a change... lol its awesome! Also I was spotted with SkeeterTheDuck on the news at a convention, and they kept running it split-screen with Ernie Hudson from Ghostbusters. I was in a terrible mood that morning, but I guess I looked crazy enough carrying a duck that they had to run it over and over again on the news for a week! Well anyways, those are some of the more interesting highlights from the past 3 years, more on the CR500 is on the way!

Subscribed very cool!!
As evidenced by my screen name, I was/am daydreaming about one day powering a ninjette with the KX500 motor, so I'm paying close attention here!!

Only trouble I had was extending the kickstarter shaft to clear the frame, seems no matter what I did, they always broke off... shortly thereafter I aquired a smaller, lighter CR250 frame and went that route instead using most of the same suspension components that were going to go on the SV650.

Volkswagen vans are really popular over here. They're quite beautiful machines. Something special about them.
Lots of people here drive down to Cornwall (the southern most point of England) in them in the summer. It's a thing. |
