Mines all apart. Had to put a new crank in it and do some modding to the head. Still not together yet lol

Sorry to hear that Joe, hope you get it all sorted out.

sure he can throw it back together in a couple hours :thumbsup:

 

[Quik01ss]

Getting there lol

 

[massacre]

Was able to get the wheelie bars done. They are wicked long, longer than I had anticipated lol. I can cut them down if I need to but I gotta see how they work first. They are definitely gonna flex which is what I thought. How much flex is the question though, gotta put the motor back on and run the bike to see. I may need to add more bracing but I'm going to try and run it as is. More bracing = more weight.

Testing my bike today if this vacuum leak in the head to intake isn't gone I won't be racing but I'll watch. Very hard to get in the area to tig weld it.

 

[trinik7597]

what is it hogged out too much ??? use some epoxy !! that will get you through the weekend :thumbsup:

 

[Quik01ss]

Originally welded up wider so you can have a larger intake port. But where the flanged intake meets the head there's one spot I can't weld. I've got jb weld on it now. The methanol eats right threw it. Although I may have been putting to much hardener mixing it causing it to not fully cure hard. This time I mixed equal parts and let it cure for 2 days. So today will be the final test. Then gearing if I need to change it. Did a few things to the motor that should've been done a while ago to get its full power. But I we'll see what she does.

 

[trinik7597]

i know you can use epoxy on the port floors and such . not sure if it would work on the flange area though !! but it is worth a shot if the jb does not hold up :thumbsup:

 

[Quik01ss]

Well it's only on the out side. I would never try anything in the port for fear on breaking off and going in the motor

 

[massacre]

What size torch are you using Joe? Do you need a smaller cup I have some little guys you can borrow if need be.

 

[Quik01ss]

Thanks. But I got it with the jb weld. No leaks. As of now when I was testing riding it yesterday. Gota mess with the fuel a little and should be ready for Sunday

 

[massacre]

OK cool beans

 

[Quik01ss]

Mass will you be there with your new bike. And how's ya pops doing

 

[massacre]

My Dad is doing great thanks for asking! His bike is running good.
I was able to get my bike back together today so it's just a matter of firing it up and testing it out.
If it doesn't fall apart or blow up, i should be there

If the JB weld doesn`t, hold Moroso makes a two part epoxy that works great . We use it in intake manifolds and it holds up to all types of fuel.

 

[Quik01ss]

Really !? Wow. I'm gona have to get some from summit just to have lol thanks for the info
