Thanks again.

These machines were my wish ever since i was a kid... And now i m almost 40..
For over 25 years i ve been working and saving money to buy tools and machines and it will continue as long as i m not too old to work with them.

braking time

it turned out that I had a wonderfull combination laying around.
an aftermarket wheel for a GL 1000, ZZR 1100 front end, Braking calipers from a Fireblade and discs from a Ducati make a nice match and just needs some spacering/ adaptering

I never knew that a GL wheel is assymmetric...

allthough the discs are exactly the same the hub is on the left side 4 mm wider then on the right...

if fixxed it in the adapters so now everything is symmetric,

oh, me too, me too! Some great ideas here, very well executed.

Is that to be a single rotor set-up? Looks great.

Could that not be down to the width of the speedo drive?
You would probably find the later Comstars are the same for the opposite side, with the drive on the left.

No, double set up

Lets try to make stoppies with a goldwing

Put it on U-tube, I'll watch

i m more into facebook currently


but I keep on going

removed this old and non damping shockabsorber by a new one fitted in very easily. only needed to replace bushing in the lower mounting point and add two spacers to the top mounting

Now modifying the frame to fit the 1200 engine
first i was thinking of adding a curve in the tube and keep the Original position but moving it upwards for an inch seems more simple and better looking but i m worried about the stiffness of the rear end, so I m considering of taking a look tonight if I can replace the one tube by two crossing tubes holding also the pivot point of the swing arm
Or I will keep the horizontal one and add a few triangles towards the pivot point.
depends on which option looks the best

this is how it ended but first I modified the swingarm to avoid it intervering the ignition module then added the triangles so I'm sure i can still get the swingarm in and out

looking great!

impressive fabrication.

That is certainly one way to deal with the 84 ignition problem! Great job!

I dissambled the crashed sidecar this weekend so now I have a good comparison between a the new frame and the "Original" one the frame is as far finished now that the 1200 engine fits in smoothly. so no I can continue the puzzle

Looks awesome so far. You must be pretty well healed up.
