Busy in the background is what I like to call it.....not much up front but plenty going on behind the scenes so to speak.
Been awaiting the completed delivery of the NSR forks, yokes, wheels etc.
Found out that the NSR125 ran either 17" or 18" rear wheels....I have 17" already....guess what turned up? :/
No matter, I will only run one rear wheel....at any one time
Been playing with engine mount height while keeping an eye on the primary/rear sprocket-swingarm pivot alignment.....it's close enough I reckon.
The bar is sprocket alignment but I also aligned the primary/rear/pivot in an almost horizontal line.
Anyone add anything useful on this issue?
Assembled the front end and slotted in the NSR yokes (new head taper bearings needed) but the wheel and caliper all bolted on as they should....so I now have a new front end which gives it a flatter stance as the forks are a tad shorter, a bit of a subtle change......me likey
If the engine stays in this position, which I think will work, then I can make the engine mounts to suit. Is there an engine inclination figure?
The angle of the barrels will be critical for the Microns to hang correctly so a bit of jiggling to do still.
Plenty of head clearance and with the rear set pegs I think the gear shift will work out too...hopefully?
Thinking I might ditch the seat unit and rethink that area.
