i see u liked my first build too unfortunetly i had to sell that for a crack head price to pay my mortgage so im going above and beyond on this one

finally got the spb version 2 shift kit mounted up. they are not a direct fit for the super rat motors. i had to drill the holes that attach it to the motor to make it fit. it ends up shifting the whole rig towards the side of the output shaft. i had to then drill a little notch in the mount to clear the chain. even with the extra work, this kit is light years ahead of the zoom shift kit or even the first gen sbp kit. i love that its all one piece.

does your vented mag cover work ok in wet conditions?

 

[driftology]

who is that question for

 

[corgi1]

who is that question for

I was refering to the little black looking lines that look like vents in the bottom of the mag cover in your pic,I don't remember seeing them anywhere before,I thought they were sealed against water

 

[driftology]

oh thats a good question. this is my first motor, i didnt know that was new. i havent opened that part of the engine up yet.

I am running drums up front and back. I need to find another way to link them to one brake lever. I am currently using a problemsolver cable doubler but I feel there may be too much cable drag with it. It could just be the cheap lever.

sbp has the brake lever you need

cheers on the build

its kinda done. just waiting on a new tank and bars from soma.

 

[driftology]

what do you guys think? i still waiting on a new tank and thinking about a brooks saddle to finish it up.

 

[LS614]

Looks really nice man, I heard those speedos suck for accuracy, but that's a nice looking build

one thing buggin me is my super long throttle cable. i didnt realize the cable has special ends on both sides of the cable.

 

[driftology]

it is actually dead on. i had a digital one mounted along with it and it matched it mile for mile. my only concern is durability. actually i'm not too concerned. i work at a bike shop lol

 

[corgi1]

how to shorten a throttle cable,also read about it in sticky notes.
YouTube - Shorten a Cable 2

 

[driftology]

wow thats alot of work

 

[corgi1]

there is more to it if the housing is too long and needs shortened too,but the imfo is out there,plus Norm would probly answer questions about it if asked

 

[driftology]

i think i will just live with the long cable for now. this project has taken for ever lol

Where did you get yours? People online want stupid money for them (over 60 on ebay!).
