The Norda

Rims and spokes are ordered. Going to run wm2x18 front and wm3x18 rear. Now I have to quit putting off spraying the hubs with cerakote. But I'll be able to decide kickstand placement and figure out foot controls.
 
While I wait on parts I'm working on the intake. Stacks are copied from the stock airbox rubbers. Filter is from walker engineering for a micro sprint.

Did you machine plate with the stacks that will marry to the carb-bank? The whole setup looks clean man.
 
From my experience, with the butt Dyno and lap times, the stock airbox rubbers do the best job of getting air into the carbs compared to straight stacks or pod filters. I think your stacks will be close to perfect. Nice work.

Pods right on the carb never give the best performance. Stacks can work great, but aren't the best for street riding. Stock airbox tends to be best unless you have done a lot of modifications. I figure keeping the stacks very similar to stock with a decent filter will give me the best compromise. Since it's not a stock frame I can't really use the original intake, but this keeps the intake length, and a filter.

this is the smartest solution. Too bad the stacks will be covered as they are nice looking too.
 
Wheels are almost ready. Gotta grind spokes flush in a few spots, then install the outex tubeless kits and tires. used the swingarm to true the rear wheel since it needs to be centered. Hard to know if it is right without mounting it.

Wheels and tires are on, now I can start planning fenders, seat and foot controls.

Also threw a laser chain alignment gauge on, seems to be pretty good. It's hard to tell in the picture but it's pretty close to centered on the front.

Looking great. That's a neat little tool for sprocket alignment.

I got it off amazon. It's a tru-tension laser monkey. I've done 3 motor swaps just using a chain and straight edge to get things lined up, so I decided I wanted something to double check things in the future. The way I've been doing it works, but this will hopefully make it easier.

Real nice!

Thanks! My choices were open stacks, pods, the cognito intake, or make my own. Pods aren't great and I didn't feel like modifying stacks to take filters. Stacks are better but no filtering. The cognito intake looks restrictive. So this is what I chose to do.
