Topic: Let's do it guys.

[Big Jay]

The engine section needs a sponsor. 

[paulages]

is my duplicate post idea possible, or would that require too much work for the moderators?

[turboguzzi]

Strange..... until some days ago hi-perf was together with the rest and we managed, now that we have our own section, all of the sudden we need displacement, forced induction and what not?

Why cant we run like this for a while and see?

I for one, like to help people that dont have necesseraly a 500-550, like reading about turbo projects, etc. so i will have to go through three different sections. Silly and it will split us apart instead of making us feel like one community.

+1 indeed.... we have this section for a day now and I dont see it being swamped with posts..

[bwaller]

Actually TG in hindsight I don't mind the single section idea as long as the topics stay in focus.

I'm not that great at typing but i will definitely be putting my 1000cc billet block build in here. I don't think we will be doing anything out of the ordinary but the guy thats going to do my build has the fastest 750/4 sidecars in Australia. I am going out to see him and do a run over my objective soon so as soon as it starts i will be posting. I also want to read as much stuff as i can, with guys like Mec, Mrieck, Vox, You, Havoc turbo and the likes there should be some very interesting reading. Sorry if i left anyone out there guys .....

I like the way Axl set up his site.
An information section and a Q&A section.
It is simple and functional.
Mike's idea to have different displacement sections is a good one.
750cc - Enter Here
500cc - Enter Here etc.
I think it would keep everything steamlined and easy to access.

speaking of axl (rip), would there be use for links to sites such as his? keeping the criteria for such sites with axl's as the model. i found his site easy and informative.

[mick7504]

As a mark of respect on behalf of everyone involved in this great site, I would like to propose that this section be dedicated to Axl Griesmann.

[Zaipai]

OK guys, how about if we break it down as Mark says by capacity.

(350/400)

(500/550)

(650)

(750)

These 4 forums would then be sub devided into (motor including carbs/ignition/exhaust)
(chassis includes wheels/forks/frame/tanks/seats/fairing)

3 forums to cater for Road race, Drag race and land speed racing with no sub sections.

A final forum where business can show case their products.
Remember guys, we have some very clued up people/companies on this board, Mark (kos) of M3 racing, Jay (bigjay) APE and Ken (ken736) sales for Orient Express. Also the small business people and part timers like Mike Rieck (MRieck), Kevin (ttr400), Greg (ohiocafracer), Rob (Voxonda) and Simon (lordmoonpie).
This section will probably have to be agreed by Glenn as I can't remember the terms of belonging to this community in respect of advertising.

Sam.

Sounds good Sam, a lot of work, but good none the less. This seems to be the best way to do it.. IMO..

[jamesv220820]

whatever happens we need to put a post up that shows a chart with changing jets in the carbs

the chart would show

- stock size jets for all models

- size changes for elevation change

-sizes for unifilters, pod filter, individual pods

-after market exhausts out there

that would stop alot of repeating topics

this has been discussed in the past. while i don't mean to rain on your parade, there are so many variables that to make such a chart as some sort of cross-reference and to be able to trust that the data entered is correct (dyno proven) would be incredibly difficult. good idea though.

I'm with you.  These bikes are not that different from each other that they need to be separated. I also don't see it being as active as the general tech or project forums.

1 reason i can see for using displacement to form categories is the whole idea of this Performance section is to make it easier to "find" info on performance mods for our bikes, if we lump them all in the same forum,eventually we will be right back where we started from trawling through hundreds of posts  to find specific info. I think engine size would be the way to go. Sorry if i seem to be changing my mind but i didn't read the post i answered previously, properly. I don't think we need "turbo" and "Blower" sections, another idea may be to name the threads we do ourselves on our bikes better , for example, instead of starting a thread with "blue beast" why not title it "blue 836" or "blue 900" or something like that, so if you are after "836" info it would make it easier to find........just a thought.

No worries mlinder.  I am not upset and no need for the apology.  But, I will give you credit for taking it this far!

From what I remember from my deleted post, I said that splitting out the subsections by size is a good idea.  Going much deeper may be more than you would want to keep up with.

What can you do to a 500 that can't be done to a 750?

This isn't entirely true Paul
There are some pretty sizable weight differences, though, with the same attention to weight saving being done, and since suspension and tires can be equal across the board on these two, the 550 will always have the handling advantage, at least in terms of available corner speed.
That doesn't mean teh 750 can't be made to handle well, though.

[turboguzzi]

Can i provoke a little?

How about starting to fill this new forum with amazing performance subjects, racing stories and more and then see if we really need all those sub-sections?

Just an idea ;-)
