My '76 z900 'Strip-fighter...sorta

Finally made some progress. It's not much but it's better than nothing. I redid the back of the subframe with a new crossbar and managed to fab a taillight mount that I don't despise. I think it turned out as good as it can.

Now on to pics...






Later, Doug

looks like you've got it.

glad to see u havent given up. keep at it bud.

I do have a bit of an update. I managed to score a outboard bearing support for a heck of a deal from MTH76 (Mark). I couldn't help myself so I mocked it up real quick.




It appears that the chain run should clear the frame without too much but I need to do some more measurements to make sure.

Later, Doug

So you beat me to it. :laugh: Great score!

Les

Great find.
it looks great. i'm putting mine on now too. i just sent mine out to have the clutch hole bored larger. this will allow me to run a hydraulic clutch.
i'm trying to come up with a dif rear mount , so i dont have to weld a threaded sleeve to the frame.

Looks nice.

doug,
tapped me to extend and underbrace his gixxer arm that he is using for his project.

i am just in the preliminary stages,i have the original ends cut off the arm,and the extensions machined to fit inside the tubes.

i am also going to create an underbrace using 1" o.d. x .120 wall thickness 6061 seemless tubing.

here are some pics to whet your appetites :evil: .

this is what doug sent me.



here is the arm with the extensions mocked up.



more to come,

leon

I love this stuff!!!

Looking good so far Leon. That's going to be one heck of a long arm. Hopefully I'll make enough power to fully utilize it. :woohoo:

I'll be watching my own thread....impatiently!


Later, Doug

Very cool.

Doug, i'm looking at your support plate. i need to make spacers for mine. r yours solid alum rod, drilled and tapped?? do u and Leon (or others)think it would be bad if i used tubing and threaded rod?? just so much easier for someone like me that doesnt have a lot of tools. i could tap rod, but i'm able to get the holes perfectly centred.

The spacers are just aluminum tubing with a through bolt. I can get you lengths of the spacers and bolts if you want?

Later, Doug

thats good to know.
i will work out the lengths , since mine may be a little dif.

Thanks.
