Got my little rubber thingy installed. I had to modify the case a little to give the clutch basket some more room.
Pistons installed tomorrow! bought some cams and they should be here this week. I'll get those in and get them degreed. Then the motor will be pretty much all put back together. Next on the list will be rebuilding the VM29's and getting the old motor out of the frame, and get the frame ready for the bracing mods.....Last edited by renobruce; 08-18-2008, 01:38 AM.

Now, keep in mind im still soaking up all the knowlege of these motors before you shred me here, but with those mods, and since you had the cases split, would it have been that much more expensive or completely unnecessary to have the tranny back-cut? I dont suppose you plan on doing a bunch of holeshots with this thing, but wouldnt it help the tranny in the long run or make it more clunky for every day ridding?? Just curious and wanting to absorb knowlege. I plan on ripping apart a couple 750 motors this winter, a 16v and an 8v.

BTW, I will be watching this threat intently, as if your other beautiful machines are any indicator, this will be one awesome project to behold. Please supply with pics and explainations as frequently as possible!

As was explained to me, the biggest problem run into is the gear dogs themselves rather than the actual gears, so THEY would be undercut so that they meshed more precisesly the harder they were used. Again, i dunno bout this stuff so im trying to learnBTW, I will be watching this threat intently, as if your other beautiful machines are any indicator, this will be one awesome project to behold.

Honestly, I don't see much difference from their pic to mine. They must cut a steeper angle when they undercut, but you can see that the dogs on mine are already cut at an angle.Last edited by renobruce; 08-19-2008, 04:15 PM.

What about the frame bracing??? That's what I'm waiting for. Wanna see what goes down so I can get some ideas for my 1000. Not looking to go too crazy, just add a little more meat in the places that need it. Any info on this? I have a bunch of steel plate left over from my trailer build. Was thinking of using that too.
