Any chance this thing will be rideable by Mid-Ohio?

No it won't. I just don't have the time. The goal is to have it completly done for next for riding season. That way I can take my time and build it right and the way I want it. I put alot of miles on this bike four-five years ago and it was completly stock. When I'm done it should feel like a new bike. The engine needs to be freshened up. It started to burn a little oil. That will be wintertime for that.

I machined them on cnc vertical mill after hours at work. If I had a cnc at home my wife would hate me, I would never be in the house. Maybe when the house is paid for I can afford a good used one.

Poo! Replication goes out the window then. Looks like I'm back to angle grinder and drill press.

Did a little mock up this weekend.

Looks like there might be some interference with the carb/intake duct ...

When I took the pic, I just clamped the mount up there. When I actually weld it on it will be about an inch higher. It will be very close. I have another complete SR I have been taking measurements from. If I measured right, I should be able to make it all work.

I see ... if it's too tight you could perhaps locate the suspension a little further to the left!?
Btw., nice carrier you've machined!

Best regards
Sven

I have the down tubes machined, I have the welding rod, now I have to bend the last two pcs. and I can start welding.

The air pod I have one my other SR looks like it might hit the shock if it was on this bike but thats minor stuff.
Hey, I raced a Sven at Weedsport,NY like maybe 6 or 7 years ago. Is this the same Sven?

[scm]

Nope, I've only been roadracing my XT here in europe...
Again very nice metalwork in your latest pic, I'm looking
forward to see more of this!
Btw., are you using a front wheel for rear?

Kind regards and good luck

19" front and rear. It's the set up from my other SR I used to dirt track. I'm not positive what I'm going to use for tires yet. These are not D.O.T.

[scm]

These tires look like K180s to me, I thought they were street legal?!

[guernz]

Good Year DT2 - not for highway use. Dunlap used to make D.O.T dirt track tires for the Harley 883 bikes. I'm not sure if the still do. They were 18" rear. I want 19" front and rear. I want it to look like it just came off the track. Only with lights.

[guernz]

A little inspiration.

[guernz]

A little more....

I want those wheels.

I finally got it out of the shed and over to our shop. Dad tacked up the swing arm this morning.
