As soon as I am sure what parts arent going back on I am having a sale. You guys need anything? lol FFJMOORE, I have a stock Cb550 front wheel that I made some ALUMINUM brackets so you can bolt on a YZF600 dual disc set up....modern forks for that modern rear end on Atomic??? I will post a pic.

Joe

Is the 550 front hub the same as the 750 one I gave you?

Whats the diameter and thickness of the yzf rotors

FrankenFrankenstuff · « **Reply #202 on:** February 13, 2011, 06:57:55 PM »

they look the same. The rotor is about 3/16" wide and 12 inches across. I have the calipers as well.

FrankenFrankenstuff · « **Reply #203 on:** February 15, 2011, 05:05:58 AM »

Yes, that is a 180 rear tire, and yes I am using a rear Harley wheel as my front wheel.

You got it dude. We still need to do the swap. I have 3 switches for you, and my axle that needs dome TIG -er-izing

So Here is a few picts of the making of a 1" front axle with Kawi ends to fit an inverted fork.... a cb550,with a ZX1 fork, and a harley front wheel hahahaha if that was said anywhere but here people would be like WTF WHY hahaha

We used a donor Kawi axle and cut the end off, it was bored out to 1" to accept a piece of 1018 cold rolled steel, it was then tacked on and moved to the lathe for facing to correct lenth, and the end turned down to accept threads, The threaded end cap was also bored down to the threads to slide over the 1" stock as it threads on to the axle, once it was cut to lenth it was moved to the welding bench and fully welded

here is where the magic happens HAHAHAHA

in the lathe

fully welded

next to a stock axle for comparison and ready for some threads

Hopefully the die will come in Tuesday and it will be done

Thanks for the smitywicks Joe

Nice work there Rippy. Your shop is so frigging clean!! I am going to have a roller.

FYI - I ended up tearing down half of the walls in my house.

FrankenFrankenstuff · « **Reply #209 on:** February 22, 2011, 07:01:38 PM »

Well today I got good news on 2 fronts.

#1 Rippy finished a front axle
#2 Hotrodmetal has finished a seat cowl

This is going to be one hell of a summer.

Expanding your shop? Or just watching too much DIY channel?!!? Demo is fun!

FrankenFrankenstuff · « **Reply #211 on:** February 24, 2011, 07:08:28 PM »

Stevo I saw your kitchen project. nice. I am widening some door openings and adding arches as well as renovating the kitchen and bathroom. I have Rippy on speed dial for those questions like "Was that a load bearing wall I just removed?"

Stev-o · « **Reply #212 on:** February 25, 2011, 07:28:04 PM »

Got my new granite and appliances in, wocking on my stone backsplash now. Then lighting. Then hopefully SOHC's!!

Strongest thing on the whole bike.

DarkRider · « **Reply #216 on:** March 07, 2011, 09:55:47 AM »

Killer build man! Just looked at your webstore as well. Doubt you would take on orders for side covers for something other then an SOHC right?

FrankenFrankenstuff · « **Reply #217 on:** March 07, 2011, 03:29:22 PM »

You are correct. I try to only make or alter parts for bikes that i own or......want to own.

FrankenFrankenstuff · « **Reply #218 on:** March 08, 2011, 08:23:26 PM »

OK, so I got my new seat pan from Hot Rod Metal. (thanks dude) It is 1/16" aluminummmmmmum. I was originall planning on upholstering it but think for now I want it all just bare nekkid-ness.

The pictures are showing how I am making a "bump" for the seat to sit over my suspension bracket. I just used a ball peen hammer and a piece of MDF, then clamped and hammered.

Im pretty sure you pounded that dent the wrong direction.

FrankenFrankenstuff · « **Reply #221 on:** March 09, 2011, 07:09:40 AM »

No. It is a bump that goes over the top of the top of the monoshock mount. Just an illusion in the photo.

Flying J · « **Reply #222 on:** March 09, 2011, 07:32:07 PM »

OHHHHHH its for the mono shock, well in that case it is going the right direction. I thought is was for "something" else.
