Re: The 3sixty Project... (Small update clip-ons rear hub!)
Not much of an update with the holiday around the corner. Managed to install a set of no name clip-ons, cleaned up the rear hub and laced the wheel.
Tempted to paint the rim black, for now they will stay chrome.
A few pics.
Found sometime today to do a bit of work, trying to come up with a design for a set
of headlight ears, came up with this.
Only problem is that my welding skills not up to par on detailed pieces.
I've always wanted to try brazing so I think I'll give that a go.
Finally got around making a pair of spacers for the front wheel, I cut the Harley bearing that came with the hub (has the same ID) into two and grinded them down to the size I needed.
Also re-drilled the GSXR rotors (thanks Corey for the template) after a little bit of adjusting there centered.
Thanks for looking!
Thank for the tip on the seat Driftunit!
Quick update...decided to heat and bend the rod to the shape I wanted. Not to bad.lol
Not much of a selection with 52-54mm tubes. ;D
Need to set my focus on finishing up the frame.
A few pics
So after picking up the avons yesterday, first thing on my mind this morning was to mount them up! Grabed a garbage bag and a tire iron. Managed to get the tire on a little more then 3/4 of the way with the garbage bag and the rest with the iron...not to bad.
Couldn't hold back had to mount them on the bike and take a few pics.
So far I really like the look and stance.
Sorry about the cut off pics, I couldn't get far back enough in the garage. To full at the moment!
Thanks
As I am doing a similar thing myself, do you mind if I ask a few questions?
Just to clarify you have used the spokes off a Harley 19" rim to fit an 18" rim with no modification to the spoke but with a washer under the nipple? What does a "drop centre" hub mean? Will you be using a Harley speedo drive and how does that affect the speedo accuracy? What width rim/tyre are you running on the rear? Any clearance issues with the chain run?
Sorry for all the questions but coming from a non-mechanical background and on my first build, this is how I learn stuff.
I thought the same at first having to check and recheck the direction.
The front tire has both front and back arrows, depending on which you decide to use.
Kind of odd looking. ???
Heres a pic.

Hey Ducatiboy...asking questions and helping out is what this site is all about.
Just read through your thread, great project you have going.
A drop center rim is the Harley rim you currently have, the center of the rim shaped up closer to the hub. Yes...no modifications were made to the spokes or nipples, only brass washer were added under the nipples. But you must lace the rim identical to the current Harley rim you have. As far as the size of the rear rim is a 2.15 with a 120/90/18 Avon.
Speedo...not sure of what I'm doing yet. ???
No rubbing issues.
Hope this helps.
Started on the rear sets,had to come up with a mount of some sort.
Ended up bending some tube inserting it into the opening where the back of the frame was cut off, and applied some ugly looking welds :-\. As for the front shift leaver, I used the existing foot leaver cut it down applied some heat and bent it to shape.
Great rear sets from Durgam_K!
Here's a photo.
Not much progress in the last week or so, my eBay flux core welder went on me.
The good new is that now it had to buy something better.
Picked up this hobart handler 140 off kijiji a few days ago.
Just trying to work out the best place to get gas.
Any tips!
Can't wait to try it out!
Thanks
