Sorry, not questioning your methods. I don’t know if you’re joking or not. My question was serious. You obviously know more about what you’re doing than I do. It just looks to me like you’ve created a perfect intentional fail point. Like the crumple zones in a car frame. Carry on. Super interested in the whole process and looking forward to the end result.
Cheers.Last edited by Shin-Ken 1074; 11-24-2023, 07:01 PM.Badgezz, we don need noh stinkin' badgezz!

Hi Rich, I thought you were having a bit of fun about the notch welding. I was having a laugh about making it heavier and I certainly didn't mean to offend you in anyway. On the previous page I mentioned I will be taking the side-stand to the welder so he can weld the notch.

Hi Lorenzo, I think your idea about having some grip on the footplate for those icy Winter days we have here in QLD is a good one, thanks for the tip. Crosshatching would work however, did this instead.
Cheers.

While the sump is off I cleaned out the oil pick-up and replaced the sump O Ring. Also swapped the screws that are made of cheese on the oil pick-up for allen head bolts.

For the gear selector I have a few random parts from different bikes however, they can be cobbled together and made to work. Some of the parts are aluminium however, not a plug and play deal. Selector shaft is to long so needs to be shortened and thread cut. I have the correct die size but will have to call on a mate to see if he can turn down the aluminium selector shaft to 6.0 mm

Lucky day, my mate was home and he was able to turn down the ally shaft so I could extend the thread and make it the correct length.
Selector fitted, the blue will disappear later.
