Bundy project Now called lighteneing/modernization

I ran my pressure with the RPM [electric tach on the 05 made it easy] idle .5 PSI, WOT 4PSI. I think the port injection someone did a few years ago is a better way to go however. but even more work.

Injection IS the best way, but I don't have that much money for a project bike. That was my original idea. 180deg cranks don't help find a existing donor ( though I think the ER6/ninja may be a canidate).
So how did you use the tach. I have a spare tach wire as I use an electronic speedo/tach that bleeds from the COP coil inputs. Did you use the signal, a counter and an amplification circuit? Or gate the output from the tach?

Here is a tricky little one that most people forget. The spacer in the swingarm pivot. Big piece of steel that can be replaced by Al and improve stiffness again.

That spacer sleeve in the SA pivot - I thought it serves as the inner race for that needle bearing ? Maybe not, maybe I'm thinking a different bike.
Cool.

No , the spacer sits inside the steel inner "race" . The swingarm bolt passes through all 3 ( spacer and 2 "races").
If I could have got the needle bearings out without damaging them, I would have made a different shaped centre spacer. It would have been a bigger diameter centre to help stiffen the bolt. As it was I had to get it through the stock bearing centre ( less race). Like 2 truncated cones joined at the bases.

OK she is  roadworthable. Up for sale  for $1800 if someone wants it. Anyone in the Bundaberg area ( Rockhampton to Brisbane I can deliver) I can deliver. Not regd or roadworthy certificate. I need a new project.

Good work Greg... although I think you may be missing some finished pic's

[gregjet]

Good point PeteGS.

[ShowBizWolf]

Very very nice!!! I think I said it earlier in the thread but I'll say it again... I love the color

Congrats on the finished project

[peteGS]

Yep nice work indeed Greg, and yeah that paint scheme is spot on for a GS 

[gregjet]

Had some nice blue but tried to get it sort of in the Rizla Suzuki direction. That's as close as I could makew it with the colours I had. It is a nice blue though. Good unisex colour.
