Finally have some stuff to update. Been dealing with some unfortunate events at home
so bike got put on hold.
-Going to send frame out to heat treating tomorrow hopefully.
-Took apart tranny and got all gears and pieces REM treated. Insanely smooth now!
-Crankworks has my crank and is balancing it right now. Hopefully back at the front of next week.
-Engine cases are back from vapor blasting and they look AMAZING. Like brand new.
If anyone wants them done right, and no glass or sand pitted in their metal check out this guy:
http://www.vaporblasting.biz/Pretty cheap too. I think mine was 30$ per case half.
Pinsonnault windowed weisco piston. Thermal coated via SwainTech
New Wossner kx5 rod
KX5 cases looking brand new!
Check out this CNC magnesium linkage, coated with Kephos coating (harder than hard ano and just as thin. Hopefully bearings press in without much effort. haven't checked the clearance yet!
- Next steps are I'm finishing up finding some nice SKF Explorer bearings for all the case bearings. This is taking a bit of work but will be worth it. Then when crank comes back i can start assembling engine.
- Clutch side cover is at 3D scanning place right now. Designing a Magnesium side cover with removable clutch cover and water pump and governor delete. This should be super trick.
- All races and collars in the Mg Linkage is being made out of Ti. Going to be a huge weight savings compared to stock stuff. Cant wait to get it on a scale and see how much is lost in complete linkage when I have it all back.
Thanks for reading. I'm getting a lot of stuff done on it now, so hopefully another update next week
