My bad; I thought it may have been made out of aluminum in order to minimize the reactions of having dissimilar metals together. | ||
| Sub65chris |
aluminum may be used later once I build it out of steel. bu for now i dont have a tig welder .I am not going to pay for someone elde to build it at 25 dollars an hour just for the welding. | ||

Understood...I just installed an aluminum spool gun to our miller mig, it works great. Maybe someone local may have a similar setup? I also have a tig available for my use. I live in San Diego, if down in this area it could be welded. (Message edited by point_doc on May 22, 2008) | ||

ND would be a scenic ride - not so far away would be better. EZ | ||

I was at a graduation and general family reunion and was forbidden from the computer. I will be doing some other stuff this week to move the bike along untill I can get the angle for the braket. | ||

by the way, i just got your message a bit ago. they had transfered it to voice mail on a phone that doesnt get used all the time so it just kind of sat there blinking lol. anyway, i figured you were at work so i didnt call back. apparently you came in and picked up your stuff after i left last night. (i should have had that blast service manual here for you to use...) (Message edited by no_rice on May 28, 2008) | ||

no biggie I still need ot get a battery. and the exhaust flange that bolts to the head. I will be getting the exhaust made in the next few weeks. so excited. | ||
| Ezblast |
Cool - a good muffler shop should be able to make you a great exhaust if you use some of the dimensions suggested in the Thumper section, you'll be rocking! A P-clamp on the front lower with stock lower front mounting hardware - 10 bucks all new - ala - V&H style, and the rear bracket has always been an easy tab and bracket bar - connected with bolt,washer,rubber washer(s) between a washer, maybe a spacer, washer ,face/bolt hole,washer,lock-washer, locknut. Thats worked on both my current which are custom. EZ | ||

bolt,washer,rubber washer(s) between a washer, maybe a spacer, washer ,face/bolt hole,washer,lock-washer, locknut. Sounds like some of the equipment that held my old VW bug together. | ||
| Ezblast |
LOL - so far its holding the cans on both bikes just fine - both are pretty custom units -  EZ | ||

Just a thought - but would it make sense to try & utilize a downdraft carb (Keihin FCR comes to minf) and a plugged / welded / whatevered XB intake manifold and ba able to make use of the generous airbox? -Saro | ||

"Just a thought - but would it make sense to try & utilize a downdraft carb (Keihin FCR comes to minf) and a plugged / welded / whatevered XB intake manifold and ba able to make use of the generous airbox?" I'm inclined to agree, but I think that could be easily added later. I think getting it going is step one. After all, he may end up hating it! | ||

no rice i need to talk to you about borrowing that manual this weekend if possible. the wiring is going to suck without a manual to guide me. | ||
| No_rice |
you can borrow it whenever. i have to work friday and saturday this week. | ||
| Sub65chris |
I will probibly be up tommorow after work. | ||
| Glitch |
I think Saro may be on to something. If you did do that, the way the bottom of the airbox is, I doubt there would be any issue breaking boots. | ||
| Jos51700 |
"I doubt there would be any issue breaking boots." There would be issue with intake seals unless lots of bracing is involved. The opposite cylinder provides lots of support for non-rigidly mounted intake. | ||
| Glitch |
The intake velocity stack would help with support. It's made of rubber, so it could (and does) take the vibration well. | ||
| No_rice |
i just think we would be making it more complex than it needs to be. the stock blast intake/carb is a good functioning set up except for the boot. brace the carb and that problem is all but eliminated. simplicity people! its not really going to perform any better with a new carb and intake set up. to make use of that you would have to upgrade the rest of the motor. plus... the thing is on a budget(which keeps having to get a little bigger...  ) | ||
| Ezblast |
Thats why I went with the ultralight stack and springs for a brace - its worked for me! Total intake cost - 80 bucks with the stack custom filter. EZ (Message edited by ezblast on May 30, 2008) | ||

simplicity people!  I hope this bike will make it down to MB6 | ||
| Sub65chris |
total spent so far. actual hard cash not time and frustration  1757.93 give or take a few bucks  | ||
| Slamber777 |
This is the coolest project, by the way! l can't wait for the next set of pic to be posted. lf it works out well you might want to market a kit for the rest of us envying mooks. | ||

Nice! | ||

Did someone say MBVI?????? |
