GREENGOATCHOKER Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 right well seeing as though i can now upload pics to my computer again here goes afraid pics start a little way in due to the above well a certain frame and bike maker turned jurno decided to refit this to my bike so as a precaution i decided to completely strip the bike and rebuild it incase any other horrors had been left un-dealt with had this completely failed it would have dumped the fairing onto my front wheel , not impressed it was replaced with this fully rebuilt front end goes back on spondon adjustables are hard anodised black and refitted with all new taper bearings back end and engine goes back in . of course engine is subjected to a full stan stephens f2 tune , carbs are given an ultra-sonic clean via my £10 lidl cleaner that works a treat and then bored out to 31.5mm bowls and then re-cleaned . now the jigsaw of parts its getting smaller but i have the bits i am not looking forward to most to do . repiping and bleading oil pump and brake lines and sorting out pv mountings and wiring loom . brakes have been stripped and bleaned are away for stoving . i intend to get the filters and engine , electrics plumbed in and then it goes for paint . i will fit brakes back on when it returns (i think) . you lot voted so i will be going with this but i am retaining the 916 fairing for time being although if i do keep i will be going over to mk7 race fairing and single off set hdi conversion , bank account needs to replenish first though . plus i have at least 2 more projects that will probably jump in before i start swapping it about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Excellent, you certainly know how to do a good project. Please tell me more about the ultrasonic cleaner. Ive been wanting to get my carbs done for a while, but they have a very grubby/tarnished/stained oily finish. How good of a job do they do? I was thinking along the lines of aqua-blasting first...

GREENGOATCHOKER Posted November 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Ultrasonic cleaners are pretty good , it's basically an electric ladies friend attached to a tin pot . The vibrations loosen the dirt without scouring the surfaces of the materials so ideal for carbs . As I say I paid about a tenner for mine last Christmas from lidl's and it has paid for itself time and time again . I tend to use whatever solvents are to hand , any kind of degreasing agent . The more time you use it for the better the result , will it remove varnish from carbs yup pretty well but expect it to take a while piss with no manual and no real pics of how the bike went together setting up the powervales was a wanking nightmare (considering it should have taken about 40mins) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GREENGOATCHOKER Posted April 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2012 thanks for the comments , as usual life , the kids, wife , drinking and other bikes are continuing to keep this build slow but thorough . right need a set of filters for the thing as it obviously runs no air box , check rg500.com and ebay ,shit me £230 for some foam , wow people are stupid . so out with the hacksaw . first i got hold of some standard carb feeder pipes and sawed the fuckers in half personaly i have always had doubt about placing carb filters in direct airflow without some kind of plenum chamber . so chop chop a quick clean up with some emery paper and into the trusty dishwasher . oh my bloody sonic cleaner busted can't complain 18 months use cost me a tenner from lidl . next thanks to you guys i found some sheets of filter foam from ramair who were realy helpful on the phone . 2 sheets of a3 and some glue came to about £20 inc post so was happy with that . i post some more pics when i happy with the results .
