Truckers Monster Rebuild

[emanon]

... so I decided to make one.

Ill be making both upper and lower triples with 30mm offset for my monster.

I love how you say this so nonchalantly, like it is no big thing!

Now that is the bollocks - more info please...

Its a zb 32 ironhead BSA motor highly modified to OHC.  Custom frame, tank, subframe and tail.

GSXR forks, shortened upside down VFR swingarm. oil in frame.

We are building another one now thats even more radical.

well, im teaching myself CNC right now and its a great learning process.

venting the clutch case.

Bye Bye Agip sticker





lightened the clutch basket too, but its not finished.

[Raux]

did you talk about this before?
Are you using the perimeter brakes for this project?

[truckinduc]

yes im using the buell ZTL wheel and brake, slightly modified.  Its paired with RC 51 forks.

Im debating on using the stock fork lowers or making my own to mount the caliper.

[truckinduc]

here is the front end setup

OHH I HAVE A QUESTION.

My clutch pushrod, or whatever you wanna call it. The rod that goes through the engine from the slave cyl. to the pressure plate throw out bearing.

The rod is nice and oily with some thick black sludge.  Is that normal or do I need to replace the 2 O rings on the slave side?

Or are there other seals?

[DucHead]

I've never seen any "sludge" on mine, but it should be lubed.  I'd replace the o-rings while you have the rod out just in case.  They're only a buck or two.

could the sludge be chain lube?

If it's really wet in there a leaky slave could be the culprit...or the two o-rings you mentioned.

There is a seal at the other end to keep the clutch dry on dry clutch models.

When the man who is doing this work says he is modding his bike , he means it. This is like re-inventing the wheel. Awesome stuff. I truly appreciate your skills, desire to be different and abilities. You and your father are truly inspiring, ,keep up the good work boys.
Best wishes for you both

Possibly my favorite thread on the board.  It's like an all-access pass to a mad scientist's secret underground lab...

Thanks for sharing all your progress with us.

[truckinduc]

thanks guys.

Its not like chain lube, its like brake fluid mixed with oil. 

I was going to do a milled plate for a gusset, but now I think im going to go in this direction.

[Monsterlover]

The untrained engineering section of my brain thinks a plate would be stronger and more resistant to bending, but my eye likes the look of that a lot more.

It'll probably be fine for the loads that joint will see.

do it!
