Thanks Joe, gotta take my time with this 'un! wife gave me permission to park it inside on the mantle near the fireplace to winterize it if I can pull it off....
 
Kiley, got you message and am presently typing up a short novel in response.
Standby, but as far as I'm concerned it's a go on this end matey-o!

Wait.....yinz have winter in Alabama? Well I'll be.......

Swag, you have another customer for the tensioner right here if you can make them!
 
I can and I will sir! Personally I find CNC machining to be soulless in comparison to standing in the chip shower turning wheels with one's own paws. That being said, it IS the only way to even consider doing production work. I'm working the details out with Kiley about making several piles of spiffy baby-4 parts...tensioners included.
 
Soul less for sure.......but I really do enjoy not being burnt! Those damn chips will leave you with the number of the beast......


For what it's worth, I have a motor tore apart as well. If there's any parts I can donate to the cause, just let me know.
 
Hahahaha....ain't't it the truth, the last Ti I hacked on gave me permanent tattoos on both arms. Hot indeed.....

You might want to chat with Kiley about it, sounds like things could develop! Booyah!
 
ok i may have come into this a bit late... but these tensioners, these are cam chain right? or chain? hell i may want one if i can use it. i love your work swag, always up for adding to my colection of your parts!
 
Guys we are getting some stuff together to start offering up a lot of parts for the 350/400f. I'll keep you informed as it develops. Good stuff in the works. And Joe, yes, the cam chain tensioner specific to those two bikes. They are a huge problem and better parts should be available.

That's great news! I might have to put my rebuild on hold so I don't overlap with parts. That little tensioner is def. on my list tho'.

cheers

One day we are just shooting the shit, the next, someone has a lucrative business with multiple willing customers on standby! Another reason DTT is still very awesome!
 
Yes indeed. I'm really interested in any frame bracing you had planned. I can spot a target in the rear triangle above the swinger pivot as a candidate, but I'd like to reinforce the head stem somehow too? You mentioned some mods earlier, but I need pics ::) I'm a visual guy.

hope things are well?

cheers
