I've finished porting the intakes, hoping to get the boxes welded on tomorrow if I have time.

I got the reed boxes welded to the base plates, just need a bit of JB inside to smooth them out at the joints

The front wheel was a bit harder to fit than the rear, the wheel is off a CR that has a 20mm diameter spindle and the RGV has a 17mm spindle
Easiest way to solve the problem is get a piece of 20mm O/D stainless steel tube with a 1.5mm wall thickness to slide inside the wheel, I also made a spacer to fit the gap between the forks
Here's the tube fitted in the wheel
I got the top yoke finished, it just needs polishing or powder coat.
I made a start fitting the shock but I need some steel plate so I'll order that Monday.

So after a whole day trying to find the right position for the rear shock I can't get it to work, simply bolting the shock to the swing arm is messing up the rebound etc, so, I've bought a 94 blade uni track linkage, It's a set back as there is a lot of work fitting it but there's no point pretending it'll be ok, finishing the bike to find it bounces up and down like a space hopper is there.
Be back in 2 weeks. |

While I'm hunting for suspension parts I'll get some bits of the bike finished
I cut the top flanges for the reed boxes, these will be welded in place tomorrow, I'll drill and tap the corners plus skim them flat.

Can you tell what it is yet?
Shame about the Shocker, it was looking so good.
