FJ11 85 Winter Project

[giantkiller]

I cut the side plates for future 92-93 r1 swingarm. On the fj1350r.  Mounted the rear master and switch to the subframe with a simple bracket I made with my belt sander.

....and welded on a bracket for your Supertrapp can..... Well done.
Dan when you get a chance, can you post some close up detail on the m/c bracket?

How's the *deluxe* man cave project coming along? Broken ground?

[TexasDave]

To heck with posting a picture of the bracket. Post more pics of the complete bike!

Thanks
Dave

[Alexis Wenzel]

Awesome! Thanks brothers!

Another question: did I receive the wrong top triple clamp, or am I really sc*#$ed?

[Alexis Wenzel]

I was checking on ebay, thia seems to be from a 99 R1, when my forks came from a 09 R1...
The weird thing is that the whole thing was sold as a kit...
:/
Guess I'll have to buy a new top triple clamp...

I have a close up of them in my images in the gallery. I can't get them to post anymore. Have to take them from my phone

Just keep running into obstacles trying to get my shop/house built. It shouldn't be this hard to build a new house.


Thanks Dave. Looks like Alexis is going to have a great  bike.

Unfortunately alot of breakers don't know what they have. Twice I ordered what were supposed to be complete gsxr750 rear wheels​. And both times got gsxr600 wheels. One had gsxr1100 parts mixed in.

[Alexis Wenzel]

Thanks Giantkiller!
And that's true man, unbelievable how they mix up parts...
Anyways...

Another couple of questions. Better ask before than cry latter...hahahahaha

I want to cut the subframe on the red lines, so what would be left is repesented by the yellow line. Do you think it will work and take all the weight, forces and movements? Or cutting that way I'm making it fragile enough to break?



I need also to put new stoppers on the triple clamp. Following the position on the original clamp it should be somewhere on the red lines here. Do you think an allen screw and nut will solve my problem or do I need to cut and weld a new piece? I don't care about the looks of the screw there, I'll paint everything afterwards...

This is to address the steering stop question. I would use a 6mm bolt pushed through from the underside of the lower fork clamp. Make sure it is long enough to protrude about 1/4-3/8 of an inch. Use a standard metric dome nut and screw it onto the 6mm bolt. If you have access to a good drill press things should be fairly easy. Grind off the old nubs. Mark and drill through the holes for where you want your new stops to be. Drill from the smooth top side since there is lattice type bracing on the bottom side. You may need to counterbore the holes if the holes are into the lattice bracing.

I did not do this for my forks. I have a set of aluminum extensions that at steering stop, contact the main frame. The turning radius has decreased, so I am reluctant to add new stops.

This is what I did to shorten up the tail for the turbo bike.

[Alexis Wenzel]

Oh, awesome!
So you cut on the same region and added a "bracket reinforcement".

Great, now I know what to do for sure. Thanks brother!

[giantkiller]

If I remember right I had a bent handle bar I cut short inserts for the top pipes. I think I had to grind the inside seam but otherwise a perfect fit. And a little stronger.

[Alexis Wenzel]

Lots to do yet, but today was exhaust pipes, carburetors and heat exchangers day!

Looking goooooood.

[giantkiller]

That looks great. I have a true basket case. (With a title) That I hope to make a street fighter out of some day. Hope I can make it look almost as good as yours​.

[rlucas]

This is looking very good...

[jscgdunn]

Great progress Alex!  I think you will find that you will have clearance issues with the rear brake Mc and the exhaust with the swing arm.  I have a couple of V&H 4 into 1 headers here.
