Dutch 1977 Z1000 Build

Here was my solution to the chain rubbing. I used a block of delrin.

Nice build mate! Will be watching with interest.

Might be a good starting point.
If it works for them it than it will be okay for me

I was going to say leave your engine bolted in and swing-arm in place to keep the frame from warping too bad from welding, but you beat me to it. Those sanctuary guys of course took it to a ridiculously awesome level.

what is funny is if you look over the sanctuary blogs you will see various picture of them welding bracing into bare frames that they are rolling around the floor.


i have used skate board rollers on a build i did with an extended swingarm of my own construction.





skateboard wheels are readily available material if you have access to a lathe,they seem to cut like any other plastic.
sharp tool steel seems to cut the best.
but i have machined poly with a carbide when i wasn't concerned with the finish.

super cool build you have going sir.
keep us posted,

leon

Thanks guys, for the kind words and usable information.

The rollerblade wheels look great on the bike Leon, I gues one of them has a spring or something like that to keep tension on the chain?

Eric

Look what UPS dropped off at my hotel

I need to enlarge the hole in the D&G plate because I will be installing a hydraulic clutch.

As for the low breather cover I have no idea yet.
It looks nice on other builds but I don,t know yet how tho replace the old one with the new lower one.
Can I just remove the small pipes which are under the high cover and put the low cover on it with a tube?

Eric

Purdy. That's the idea on the breather cover. They sell clutch slaves that will bolt on to the existing hole pattern.
Steve

yes the one on the bottom has spring to load it against the chain.

i modded the dg plate like you have to fit a zx7 master for kzr member benhurmx.





keep us posted,

leon

I have a same master to fit on the plate.
Did you have to modify the pushrod Leon?

Eric

Trying out if it fits.







Seems like a big gap I need to fill otherwise everything will be splattered with chain oil.
But we have another nice shiny piece of art :lol:

yes the pushrod has to be shortened.
i'm not sure how much yet :whistle: .
