Could use more fiber

Thanks for the compliments and thumbs fellas! it's been a while coming together... haven't had a chance to really get her out for any long rides yet, but from the riding I've done she's really running smooth... I thought having the solid mount bars and footpegs might make for more vibes, but I don't think it's any more than stock...

[DaddyDave]

Oh you gotta paint that sidecover...(I did mine)...

But tits man, just tits...

[Moriwaki Man!]

Hey D

BUT,


That chain guard is Fugly - kills the Ohnishi in one fowl blow

Maybe Black might help but none at all better

Great choice of pipe

Stunning fasteners

PS. Bin those brown covers man , skunk works dude

Dave,
I dug up this thread just to drool all over my 'puter some more. Very, very nice! My style of REX. That is one sweet bike.

Very well executed. Great taste!

[flying dave]

His bike is incredible. I always love looking at pics of it.

Thanks for the compliments J and D... I do love that bike!

I have to get some new pics of it on here... some more closeup stuff of Paul Kondracki's work and a few new parts... I put a Striker/Arata carbon fiber chain guard on it to satisfy Mr. Drew, and got a set of K-Factory billet passenger foot pegs/mounts (in black), very tasty....
I'm still trying to get my funds together to do my 1224 6-speed build, but I really want to get a donor motor, so I can keep the factory engine tight (just in case)....

Here's a link to another thread on the second-stage of the initial build and some better pics from Steve Long at SpeedWerks in Dover Delaware.

I did consider it... but figured I'd wait until I do the motor/trans... I actually was looking at one made for carbureted bikes in an old azz Lockhart-Phillips catalog from like 2000 or so (before most bikes went to injection)... it was like a Porsche Tiptronic setup with two buttons on a switch mounted on the left side of the handlebar, just inboard of the horn button.. and it allowed you to either shift manually like normal or use the buttons to up/down shift when you wanted...

I will keep it in mind for when I'm ready to build the motor though...

Thanks for sharing the info..

Is there a Ti specific anti-seize or will any type do????

PM me your address and I'll send you a tube

[flying dave]

Thanks Terry!


Super D, I need to know if you would be willing to share that rear master cylinder setup you have there. I think I am going to have to go another route other than stock on mine now due to this arm.

[KneeScraper]

Send me your Ti and I'll send you a tube

There. Fixed it for ya.

I use Loctite on all Ti fasteners On a swingarm pivot axle made out of Ti threading into Ti USE BLUE LOCTITE

The racebolt guy stated loctite was bettter them copper anti-seize for applications requiring holding power. The locite also acts as a anti-seize

[Simon]

the great Wood speaketh and i concur. blue loctite, young man.

[flying dave]

Well alrighty then....

[KWICK]

Is there a Ti specific anti-seize or will any type do????

I use LocTite 34517 Hi-Temp White "Metal-Free" ceramic.

The gold stuff ain't much better than the silver poop.

[KWICK]

Correct on the Blue, if you need holding, it works to seal out the moisture so it won't seize.

[flying dave]

Since the I am using pinch bolts in the triples, bolts in the front calipers, a ti front axle and a ti swingarm axle I guess I think I need holding and should use the blue loctite....

[dg1966]

Is there a Ti specific anti-seize or will any type do????

There actually is a Ti-specific Loctite type for nuke plants and gov/mil spec applications... It's way expensive though, so I didn't use it.. I can't remember for sure, but I think it was like $80 for the smallest size you could buy (retail)... so I just used blue Kawasaki brand thread lock, or anti-seize called "TiPrep" (like $11 for a big tube of the stuff) that I got from Fred Renz at Yoyodyne.... I have heard that it's not just moisture but even dry locations can experience "cold welding" of Ti to Ti or Ti to other metal threads, but as noted either a thread locker or good Ti-compatible anti-seize is good to stop it by eliminating air/moisture between the threads...
