So I delved a little further into the CR carb situation. After I removed the top cover it revealed the shaft that actuates the slides and it had holes in it
There were two nuts inside the outer one was an 8mm hollow bolt with a screw in it (flat head screw driver required)
Once these bad boys were removed the carbs moved along the brackets freely onto the next hole in the shaft. For the Cb you basically have to outer two carbs as far to the left and right as the brackets will allow
Then true to form after the spacing was right I went to attach them only to realise carb number 3 contacts the bolt for the oil delivery line to the heads .
Now I’ve had to call on Old Man Murphy because we need to rework the adapters to be about an inch longer, shattered after all the work he did on the previous ones which came up a treat.
There will be no first start this break oh well it’s a marathon not a race this build.
Thanks, after having the internet go out and spending 2 hours on the phone trying to sort that out. These setbacks don't seem so bad, and yea I stop and smile each time I walk past the back of the bike and see the Ohlins now
I ended up making an amature youtube video on how i re-spaced the carbs

Once I get off the phone finally ill probably go about finding a mounting point for this RFID key finally
I was going to put a disclaimer for safety reasons ensure you have allowed adequate time for you to set up complete and clean up before your wife has returned home.
I’m not sure about sanding the bolt down I honestly think it would nearly be all gone to create enough clearance
The adapters were custom from OMM we were just going off the previous spacers, and didn't even take into consideration the spacing required for the banjo bolt. Another thing I've just realised ill have to look at now is clearance for the petcock on the other side.
Todays jnrs swimming class so it will be a half day at best in the shed, see what happens.
After the discussion in Jim's thread about brake line fittings you can use instead of banjos I was thinking there could be one for the oil line that fits in flush instead??? Maybe Irk can shed some light as he use AN fittings on brake lines to eliminate the banjos?

So the other night my brother in-law visited, so I seized the opportunity to put the motor back in the frame. So between my brother in-law, a jack a block of wood, myself and a whole heap of swearing we got it back in.
Due to a lack of free hands there are no progress shots.
I put the exhaust on clearance is like 90 mm should be 140 mm... I’m going to scrape no doubt, so tomorrow I’ll take it off the stand and do a few more measurements. Fork extenders may give me that extra little bit I need, although I have my doubts.
Got to take my dog to the vet tomorrow so I can’t see much getting done, but I’ll try to make up my spark plug leads and cut all the wiring to length tidy it all up.
I'm not really sure a few people have run two 2-1 for better clearance but I dont think thats necessarily good for performance. that said neither is scraping your entire exhaust away every time you make a right hand turn.
See how we go still a while away from Frankenhonda moving under its own steam so ill add that to the list :/ ...speaking of lists I will probably create a punch list of things that need to be completed to help keep me on track.
