Truckers Monster Rebuild

much better

[Raux]

are those smaller bolts going to hold when you're hanging off the seat midcorner? Seems that's a lot of shear they weren't meant for.

[truckinduc]

Those are undersize and just to see what the cover will look like.  the cover is threaded at the moment for jig mounting purposes. When I finish the cover today it will be drilled out to proper size so it can be mounted.   The subframe bolts are M8 x 1.25.  Should be plenty for a monoposto.

Hopefully by july 1st.  But thats alot of work to get done by then.  And it will probably never be "DONE" but you know. 

Ill be building a monoque carbon fiber tank-seat-tail.  Real gastank will be aluminum and underneith.  Fake tank will serve as an airbox.  All that and about a month straight of Ti welding.

sounds awesome, i cant wait to see the out come

[OT]

That thing needs a/some logo/s on it....

[truckinduc]

Im going to keep it clean and simple looking. the trellis swingarm and subframe will be busy enough.

Don't mean to bust your chops, but you do know those are the weak chrome plated cylinder head studs on that motor, right?

You're seriously going to hang your butt off of 1 M8 and what I assume to be the stock cast oil cooler mount on the vertical intake?

No disrespect, just curious.  You're obviously very talented mate... 

[truckinduc]

The upper mounts for the subframe will be the actual frame.  The oil cooler mount is just there for other reasons.

Does ARP make head studs for the 900? Id like to do those and the 944 hi comps.

[Duck-Stew]

Nichols studs are the bomb...

[truckinduc]

Ill have to save up for those.
