sheeeeeet

you aren't turning that too much!

[Drunken Monkey]

ahhhh.. you instibated the circular confabulator and the modular kreason has too much heptalagular radius...

I believe the hexaform compression unit would be adversely abrading the aforementioned heteroclitic axial retention unit.

[TAftonomos]

Pretty clear now....thought the flange for the nut was the same depth as the ring.

oops

[DucHead]

Too bad, I really liked the eccentrics.

Can' you use a longer axle with a spacer behind the nut?

(Love this thread BTW.     )

I believe the hexaform compression unit would be adversely abrading the aforementioned heteroclitic axial retention unit.

bingo.  It was a stupid mistake because I started making the pieces before I had the axle.

I like these too but its ok because version 2 will be even better. I made these manually, the new set ill knock out on the cnc.

started parts of the mockup swingarm.  the funny thing below the axle is a tool I made today.



it takes shitty things like this



and spins like this



which results in a nice flat and true face like this



so these can press in nice and flush, after coating.



also Im making one of these.

Loooove this thread!

so anyone wanna tell me why I need a reed valve in my crankcase breather when none of my other bikes have a reed valve?

[truckinduc]

Here is why I ask.  I am designing my rear subframe mount and it would be better if I could make a smaller breather with no reed valve inside. The breather will be fed into my subframe for additional volume and then into the airbox.

Im going to take a guess and say the valve will close under negative pressure and help assist the other piston down. But is there ever really negative crankcase pressure?

[Mojo S2R]

Someone correct me if I am wrong.  I believe it's to prevent overflow.  I have a custom breather valve on my bike that does not have a reed valve and have not had any problems or overflow.  Though I don't do wheelies and this may be where it would become needed.

[Raux]

apparently the old TT F1 didnt have a reed valve. it had a oil seperater box in the tail under the batter. It allowed the oil to drain back into the case without blowing it out.

it was basically a two-chamber box with a air passage that stopped oil blowby.

a hose would run from the case to the box hidden.

[ducatiz]

None of the pantahs have a reed valve.

The crank vent nozzle has a short labyrinth which, combined withe the longer hose, does nearly the same job.  Reed works better with a short hose.

[truckinduc]

well all in all the subframe, about 5 feet worth, should collect any oil on its inner walls and let it drain back down.  I ran for a long time with a bart simpson head on the breather with holes cut in it. never had oil puke out, just a slight residue after 1000 or so miles.

I guess im more interested in the performance of reed valve vs no reed valve.
