Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

What's that?

Quickshifter which will run into the zeeltronic ecu. Wanted a strain gauge as there more reliable and I can swap race and road pattern shifts.

Sounds like a nice bit of kit.

Having some of the parts blasted has caused problems. They had some form of protective layer on originally which has now been removed. Parts that are Steel and have not been lacquered or powder coated have started to show early signs of rust. So i have been toying with the idea of plating. However after speaking to my engineer friend i asked him if he could make them out of stainless. I got the bits back today and I'm VERY happy. The swing arm Adjuster is also threaded inside. He also made all the nuts and washers.

I had a Cordona qs on my old 675, nice bit of kit. You can set the weight required to activate the shifter and the kill times individually to get it sweet. Have you got your engineer friends next order for bits ready?

I'm loving the attention to detail and the work arounds as you come across problems. Having someone like that to help create items is a godsend

Yeah i still have the weight function on the Cordona and then with the zeeltech i can alter the kill time the zeeltech also has intelligent shifting which means that it alters the kill time according to revs

I actually took him the next job as i left with these bits :-S Its a good job hes cheap lol

He also loves bikes working on them messing with them so he enjoys doing bits for them

What, not Titanium.????????????

Seriously though Rocket, this thread is a real showpiece to your skills & application IMHO. A cracking job, & it's going to end up an even better example of the RS250 than mine..

Thanks I did look into doing them In titanium and while i would have loved it I could not justify the cost.

Exactly what St Marks says. Some serious effort, hard work, dedication and skill has gone into this project. You should be rightly proud of your achievements

Thanks. Will see what my achievements are when its on the road / track lol I'm enjoying doing it but it is costing a lot more than i thought it ever would.

Today I torqued up all the engine mounts , Swing-arm and rear suspension. Test fitted the exhaust to see if i need to do any mods :-)

Nice! When do you think it will be ready? Fancy taking it on a Friday shake down at Darley Moor?

might be tempted :-) its not that far.No idea yet it will be ready for this season

100 quid for the day, 60 quid for half a day. Think it starts around March and they only do Fridays for bikes

Yep i am in for one of those. Perhaps 21 April to give the 853 a shakedown run?

You've got to be pretty happy with how that's shaping up, just spent 5 mins zoomed in looking at it all. Very impressive mate, top work.

This just gets better, I'm in. Rocket?

Today's job. I wanted to mount some panels to the clocks so i could have all my switches laid out and have an easy access point to get to the ecu plug . So ive made these 2 panels out of a sheet of carbon and spent the day shaping and mounting them. Then i have installed all the switches etc. Now I'm going to wire it all up.

Loops good pal. Can't wait to see the finished bike.
