Includes the two side collars and the middle collar, and two original bushings if you want them, theyre in good condition. no thrust washers.
That is the brake torque arm for the rear disk brake caliper on an RD400
WHAT ARE THESE!? I think they're for the weird exhaust i have, but idk. theyre too heavy for me. I prob fab sheet metal exhaust mounts for the expansion chamber exhaust.
Those are Read Titan or Dunstall style rear set brackets. They clamp around the frame to move the footpegs back.
raptormeat said:Im sorry, and maybe Im just used to 4 strokes, but I'm looking for a CHEAP dial gauge that'll work for the aircooled RDs. Im seeing 70 bucks a pop on ebay? To time my CB360 I needed a $5 timing light and a $5 pair of feeler gauges. What gives gents?
Also, I've read that the standard BTDC is 2mm, but 1.8mm is recommended? That is, to retard the timing a bit? (Wait .2mm longer for the piston to rise before firing) I thought when the engines RPMs are getting higher you want to advance the timing? to give the gas more time to fully detonate? Can someone take me to school briefly on this?
raptormeat said:oh nice man. welcome. this build is pretty much all done, ill try and get some more pics. the tires are both 3.5-18 which is 100/90-18 theres plenty of clearance in the rear, probably 4-5 inches. i dont have a rear loop, but the seat pan extends all the way back and i havent had the tire touch at all. cheers.
The bent mount in the frame is actually a hole for the crankcase breather tube to route through. Only took me to finish the entire thing to figure that out.matthryan said:I think that bent mount on the frame is were the rear brake switch should be mounted and then connected to the brake lever?
