What's going on in your garage? Part II

[lecroy]

If your using an auto shifter are you shifting each gear at a different RPM???...

No, shifts occur at the same RPM and are controlled from a Dedenbear Command Center running my own software. I used to run an MC-1 with an 2 upgrade and controlled the kill time with the Dedenbear. Before that I was using a Dyna shift counter. Now its all done inside the MC-4. Times have changed. There is a manual I wrote for my software that runs in the Dedenbear that talks about how the shift works if your interested. It was the main reason I wrote new code for it.

I agree with you 100%, killing the ignition is not a good way to make power. It's a simple fact. However, if you want to buy me and auto to try let me know, I am all for it! I could use a sponcer!

I guess we have not been so luckey as we have lost a few of the auto transmissions. Two died last year alone. IMO, if your bracket racing, forget it. I did talk about this with Kevin before having them rebuild the R&D. Kevin was very much against the idea as well and they build enough of them.

I call the trap door mod an actual door that sits in the oil pan on the modified Kaws to trap the oil for the pickup as the bike launches. This is going back and I don't even know if they still do this.

Cutting the webbing out is /was common practice. You still have to pull the two shafts and these come out the side, not under the pan. If I hurt something this bad I take the time to go over it all. If I start at 8:00, I can have the engine out and cases split by noon. Of course, then there is normally a week or two to get the new parts. One way to solve this, spare motor.

You are very right, the boost does not drop off as much at lower gears. I figured your comments about the logger would have been on the the 11.5 second quarter! LOL I have made some other great passes with this bike... LOL

Notice that the pressure is not as high at the lower gears. We are still building up at this point. It is easier to pump your bicycle tires to 30PSI than 120PSI. And it bleads down from 120 to 110 faster than it will from 10 to 0. Same with the turbo.

I don't see getting into the 7's a big hurdle but I guess it's all bench racing at this point... It took me all of last summer to hit the 8's buy I would like to think I know a little more this year. We will see.

I'm building a AHMRA racer. For vintage superbike, in the middleweight class. I have a 673cc top end coming for it. If anyone has a spare set of gs750 vm carbs I'd be ever so greatfull.

What's going on in my Garage

I'm getting closer on this. I'm shooting for completion in Spring. Complete teardown. New rings, inspect bottom end rebuild head.Rebuild forks, Powdercoat frame, etc, etc. Mostly it has been a clean up effort. The bike was shot when I bought it, but only had 20K miles on it. It sat outside most of its life. It's been slow going because I am also married, in the middle of house remodeling project and I have dogs that don't ever stop pooping in the yard. I just got the wiring harness sorted out and I installed new drag bars. Hopefully this weekend I can get the harness all tied in and start installing components.

The frame before I got fed up and paid someone else to strip it

[drhach]

The frame fresh from the powdercoater.

[drhach]

The engine, ready to go back in to the frame

[drhach]

The engine in the frame. Forks rebuilt. Tank on just for looks. I still need to paint it. Also put the old handlebars on for ease of movement. Its got drag bars on it now. Much nicer looking. Still need to rebuld brakes front and rear, install wiring, go through carbs. A lot of work left but its looking better.

[MissFabulous]

Wow! What color is that on the frame? Am I seeing things or is it slightly metallic? Looks great!

Is there a reason you put the fork legs on backwards?

[drhach]

As far as the frame color goes, it is called candy granny smith. It does have a little metallic in it. I took the frame to the powdercoater with every intentiion of having it done in balck. I saw this color and it called to me. What do you mean by putting the fork legs on backwards? I'm not sure I understand.

[drhach]

I could be more embarassed but I'm not sure how. I just realized what I did. Oops. Damn

[Tarbash 27]

yeah, calipers go on the backside

[rosco15]

I heard backward fork legs make you go faster.

[drhach]

I heard backward fork legs make you go faster.

Actually when you do that, they become your rear brakes. Its very complicated math. I'm sure you wouldn't understand.

Nope, your GS is trying to tell you it wants to be a GT....you know a cross dresser 8O
