( by the way the bike is on the trailer right now and tomarrow the cams should be done!then carbs - header - gas)

What's all that about?
How the hell did you interpret that simple question into some kind of a jab?


1- A few days ago you asked about cutting off your megaphone and as I recall, you said the guy was coming over to degree the cams again. You previously had exhaust valve clearance issues do to positive deck height...

2- I asked you for some info so I could see what the pipe dimensions calculated out for the cut you were thinking of doing. Simply hacking off the pipe beyond the scratches from the kick start isn't part of any applied formula I'm aware of

3- You said "I'll get that info tonight an post it....... A couple days went by and you were silent....I wondered if you ran into more headaches with clearance problems again...So I asked A SIMPLE QUESTION

So I'll leave you with this information. Cut the pipe so that the total length of the collector from where the primaries join collector to the end of the Megaphone is not shorter than 13".

When you hack the pipe, it changes things and the cams are part of the math used to calculate the dimensions.

I reread your post and I translated the ? into an!, That was my error.
Sorry

i also read it wrong my bad but i didnt say anything bad so i get a mulligon. anyway if its not that fast i can bring that post up to fall back on ok last night i got the cams done took about 2 hours with alittle goofing off. everything went smooth the only thing is i told him to set int. at 110 and ex at 108 i was told that and the guy put the int. at 113 and the ex. 110 why i dont know. said somthing about me running a street tire its a shinko 190 drag compound they bite pretty good. i dont know! now were cooking a few things to do hoping to fire it up sat.

just that much closer !

keep us posted,

she's looking great.

got the carbs on and the valve cover. going to get some oil - plugs - fuel line and some bolts today we are getting super close to blast off, also got the rotor botton on. wondering if anyone knows about the lockup ? what kind of bolts do you use for the arms? i have stock springs in it i know that you have to run it a few times to feel the engagement but dont know what to start with??

got the valve cover and the carbs on last nite also rotor botton man this thing is almost ready i have to get some fuel line - plugs - oil and some bolts today she should be ready to fire. the carbs look bad ass on there open the throttle and look through there it is huge larry did a damn good job on this thing. it is better than looking at a hustler mag. i was wondering if anyone knows what size bolts to start with on the lockup arms? i put stock clutch springs in it but not sure on the bolts





i dont know if any of you rememder whan i did the orange bike build i was talking about all my friends kzs that i ride with and i said that one of them put a kz motor in a zx1100 well when i had this bike up there to do the cams wed the bike was out of the basement and up in the shop with the body work off of it so i finally got some pics. with the body work on you was unable to see anything i will load them here shortly

I would start out with no bolts on the arms and make a few passes and go from there. Or if you are set on using bolts, I would find the shortest one that still allows a nut to be fully threaded on, because that would be the lightest combo.

Later, Doug

Dont remember the size of my bolts , but I do remember they are a nut and bolt long enough to double nut if desired for extra mass . Just try it a few different ways and see what you like , and see if the clutch slips .
Enjoy

thanks for the clutch input guys also i am getting fuel line before i go home wondering if anyone knows the id of it is it 3/8th?????

Depends on what petcock youre using,Id say 3/8 should be enough to feed it as long as the petcock can fill it.

3/8 it is i just didnt want to get home with some and be to big i have done that before i was thinking that was that size thanks
