Yeah eh. Actually I forget if I used 10 or 30 weight. Need to double check. Thanks for the tip.

Cool! You're right they need fork extensions. The pictures are included in the first page of this post, however here they are linked on another forum: http://www.customfighters.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2813425&postcount=99...

Oufff...not sure I have any drawings bud, sorry. I basically just copied the R1 steering stem but made it longer, and made my own nuts for the top because my lathe couldn't do metric threads at the time. Here's the almost-finished bike in case anyone was wondering:

No more progress yet, we've all been sick here over the weekend. My dad made a short video showing the building of the custom lockring wrenches he made for the custom lockrings he machined for the steering stem. Made on his homebuilt CNC Plasma table. Check it out...

Cut the rear end of the bike off last night and started to mock up where and how the seat is gonna mount...not final positions obviously...

Agreed! A project for next year, though. Already spent a lot of money (to me) on this build.

Not too much today...planning on getting the steel for the frame this weekend maybe. Just another shot of the setup, along with some more fancy machining work my dad did to finish off the top nut on the triple tree. Cap with o-ring inside to keep the junk out.

Thanks! Looking back I could have maybe made them an inch shorter. Without these, forks would be about 3.5 inches shorter, along with a 1 inch smaller wheel, I think it would have been too low, and I'd rather not make the bike too low in the front. Also keep in mind I don't have the 230lb...

:P Well a crap load of progress today. First my dad finished up the threads on the new steering stem last night (great work), along with custom lock nuts (everything is custom basically). Today I sandblasted the lower triple tree and upper again cause missed a few spots, powder coated both of...

Got a bunch of parts in today. Headlight, clipons, throttle assembly, seat, and seat hoop. Also got some rod ends for the custom shifter and rear brake linkages. Also got the starter clutch rebuilt and new clutch cover gasket on. New pic of the engine with new paint on the clutch cover since...

Well quite a bit more progress...but still nothing major yet. My dad's been hard at the machining, making a bunch of custom parts for the fork conversion. Also repainted my clutch cover because of the "mishap". Waiting on an M12x1.25 tap to finish up the fork extenders and should be able to bolt...

Well put the engine in the oven last night finally. Unfortunately, around 250 degrees, a bit of oil leaked out of the engine from somewhere (maybe the seal where the wires come out on the clutch cover), and ruined the paint on the clutch cover. Rest of the engine seems to be fine, though. I need...

Finally got the extenders back from the machine shop today. Already rebuilt one of the forks with new seal and dust boot. Hopefully will make the shock extenders soon to finish these up.

You're right, but it has been said before they're not the same formulation. Even says on the cans the curing procedure it different for each. I think VHT is 200f for 1 hour, and Dupli is 300f for 2 hours

Hey Degrease complete engine, use small brushes, anything you can to get the grime off Sand the engine using something like 400 grit sandpaper (I didn't sand too hard in areas that are visible like the covers, etc, because the sandpaper could be too aggressive and scratch the aluminum too...
