Customizing a 2001 250

[punishum808]

More custom parts.
.
My buddy from Mullaney Cycle Works is cutting some custom triple tree tops.
.
Mike was the chassis fabricator for Vance and Hines. He built all the team bikes. Now he has done the bikes for Bostick, Phillips and Oehler. He does grudge, pro mods and more.
.
We may offer some of these custom pieces to others if the interest is there.
.

So changes were made to make the clamping bolts on the bottom. For anyone who has converted to clip ons they will know why.

World Wide Bearings are simply the finest bearings in the world.
.
The WWB Hybrid Ceramic bearings provide weight savings of up to 60% verses OEM which equals pounds when you add it all up, less friction and rotating mass is lessened where it counts the most.
.
World Wide Bearings, when only the 'BEST' will do.

Trying to button things up by December as I have been busy in politics. The hard work paid off as I will now be the Office Manager / Chief of Staff for a legislator.
.
So hopefully there will be swift progress on this build and a dump load of updates before the Motortrend airings in Q1 of 2023.
.
As winter approaches for many of you on the BIG rock Happy Holidays will soon be upon us.
.
So till next time, ALooooHA, Book UM Danno.

Four pistons of a given diameter acting directly against the disk exert the same clamping force as two pistons of that same diameter, acting against the disk and the other pad, like the stock calipers.

You build things the way you do and I will do my builds.
.

.
Go Troll elsewhere.

ALoooooHA,
.
So the motor was in rough shape aesthetically.
.
.

[punishum808]

.
.
So I steam pressure washed, prepped and masked.
.
.

[punishum808]

.
.
Then applied some hi-temp engine paint.
.
.

.
.
Every nut, bolt or fastener will be an AN, titanium or converted to aluminum bolt or nut.
.
Nearly $2,000 in titanium or aluminum nuts and bolts. Axles, swingarm pivot, motor mounts will ALL be titanium or custom made 7075 billet.
.
A 415 conversion.
.
All of this will reduce the weight by another 13 pounds.
.
