Haha oh it's not that bad haha! I get to read a lot of books when we have down time and I can research things about anything else as well. We are contracted Shell though, but never have been to the Ram Powell.clem said:

First flight 15 minutes out! Lol
Checked out my buddies rmz450f today at the track. About 1" h 1-1/4" od. No way it works for a 4 cylinder bike. You may be able to modify one though. You can bust them down to do a rebuild so it may not get destroyed in the process.

Well, as I guessed, my machinist didn't start on my stuff yet. Said he'll do it Friday morning... /: But tonight I fitted the new Dyna coils to the old stock mounts. They needed slight modification to make them work. Other than that, started to fit my seat to the frame. I probably should have sent that one back to Roc City and got a smaller one but just didn't.......so I took a jigsaw to it an am making it work!

Spent a few hours at the machine shop last night making the new axle spacer and front axle. Here is the story, enjoy.
Making the spacer
The lathe
The finished product next to the old spacer(older on left)
What we started out with for the axle, 4140 steel stock
After turning it down to the diameter of the XS650 wheel bearings and turning down for the 1/2" threads
Cutting the 1/2" 20 threads(the original Katana axle nut was drilled and tapped out to 1/2" 20 as well)
Put the axle on the mill to cut the hex head
Boring out the original bushing to match the new diameter axle
And behold the final end axle!
Next to the original axle(a little bit beefier!)
And with all the parts on it
Now I'm going to get a rolling chasis together!

Worked on the swingarm today, and got the brace fitted and welded. Most of the welds look good, but the ones near the rear axle were pretty tough to get to and are a little sloppy. Nothing a little filing and grinding can't smooth out. Other than that, I'm happy with it!
