Rob, That ignition does look very good. Did the rotor come proper for the 750 crankshaft taper? Where did you find that? Keith

Hey Col, will take that into consideration. Engine is not up to the task just yet, but............working on that! Will have a talk with Frank about what to do with the engine.

Cheers, Rob

Hey John,
Clutch is waiting to be given a trash, weather permitted, but it will be soon. After that it will probably be put in a 1000 kitted race bike that we're using at the 4hour of Spa. If it survives that it'll survive anything.

IF it survives?? don't you mean WHEN it survives??? confidence Rob!! i'm getting ancy! hopefully i'll have all your goodies, the clutch and my Mreick head within 2 months!!

my wallet might go into a slight coma for awhile after this though...

Silly old bugger, don't you know that you don't even have a clutch? Nurse! 750cc's of Olanzapine for old Mister Green, quick!

wannabridin · « **Reply #515 on:** February 15, 2011, 02:50:41 PM »

So Rob, how's my dry clutch coming along?? Did you have a chance to beat it up at Spa??

Syscrush · « **Reply #516 on:** March 08, 2011, 10:13:48 AM »

Forgive a dumb question, but what would be involved in making such a setup work on a 550?

It has been done before, at least for a 500/550. Never for a 750. It looks like a bit less work than on a 750, but still time (and money) consuming.

wannabridin · « **Reply #518 on:** March 08, 2011, 11:48:21 AM »

but the end product will be totally worth it Rob!!! time and $$ consuming yes, but to be able to bash the crap out of it and be 1 of a kind (or two of a kind with me on the road

is priceless!!

Today worked, with my son, to mount the new self generating ignition. Hope this works as good as it looks.

Rob.

Any provision for advance, I hope.

voxonda · « **Reply #520 on:** March 08, 2011, 01:55:20 PM »

Hi Mark,

This is a CDI ignition with a presetted advance, but for a few bucks it is fully programmable. That's the next step.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here, but a dry clutch conversion seems considerably more difficult for a CB500/550 than a CB750... the primary/clutch gearing is outside the cases in the clutch area, not to mention the oil return passages.

voxonda · « **Reply #523 on:** March 09, 2011, 12:54:32 AM »

Hi Paul,

Maybe you're right. I am not into 500/550. But years ago I helped someone out who had a dry one on his 500. Cannot seem to recall how it was build.

Rob
