What I did today...

**zoidberg** · 13-12-2015, 07:38 AM

That looks unreal! Full pic?

**Little Mick** · 15-12-2015, 09:31 PM

Finished the neck stem on Saturday.

Needed to pick up an M12 x 1.25 cap screw to hold it all together which I picked up yesterday.

New shaft ready for mock up. Bearings were old ones for trial fit purposes, but an new set and seals will be going in once the owner gets all the other bits n bobs ready.

The lower tree needed to be removable as requested so I came up with a stepped spigot arrangement.

the cap screw is tightened to clamp the lower tree in place.

another objective was to allow the use of a neck stand for the track so the bolt was recessed further to give the required functionality..

Threads are M24x1 and M26x1.

Mock assembly - seal not installed

Mock assembled on the Harris frame..

ready for pick up

What year frame and what engine is going in it?

Absolutely awesome head-stem too! It's a thing of beauty, pity it's going to be hidden!

Not sure Nelso. Early 80's I think. not 100% on the engine. The owner is still weighing up options

maybe I should have come up with an external head stem lol

Looks great Nick, customer will be happy with that!

You should of been handing out Superbike Source cards over the last 4 track days ... so many busted up bikes, in particular Doocati's to fix! Wonder how many will be permanently tracked now?

You could get SU recovery to slip one of your cards (or better yet a small sticker) onto every damaged bike they recover?

**Ruckos87** · 29-12-2015, 03:08 PM

Decided with the ape out of action for a little while that I'd be keeping the CBR as a2nd bike. So flushed the coolant with water, did an old and filter change and cleaned the air filter. I've had some fairings here for 7 or so mths so fitted them up to get her looking a bit neater

Found out that the fan wasn't cutting in I let it get to 114 then shut it off. Pretty sure it should kick in at 103??? On that note is there any issues with hard wiring the fan to run whenever the ignition is on? Apart from draw on the battery is there a reason not to do it???

Next it to Lock wire, but I'll need some lock wire pliers 1st. Does anyone stock then over the counter? Repco and super cheep didnt that know what I was talking about on the phone

Yiewww!! Fairings look a treat, Luke!!

No probs about a manual fan switch, very common practice.

Cannot remember off the top of my head but I think it cuts in around 108 and turns off around 104 . Unplug the fan and put 12v to it and it should work , once you know its working ok you can hard wire the cbr 600 to the high beam switch as well as having the auto cut in .(ie use the 12v + from the high beam connected to the 12v + supply to the fan .

Cheers I actually got rid of the lights and running gear. ( might have them in a box of crap) But I'll test the fan tomorrow and make sure it's working 1st. If it is I might let it get a little hotter say 120 and see if it kicks in or not.

If it doesn't cut in by 110 you've got a problem. No need to cook it any further than that. Most jap bikes kick in at 103, but BoB knows cbr600s better than anyone, so take his word on the temp.

Usually on 600s we wire in a manual fan switch, but there's no real reason you couldn't wire it to be 'always on' as you suggest. The reason road bikes are set to cut in over 100 degrees is to boil off any water/condensation in the oil, which isn't a problem we usually have here in Oz without snow and freezing overnight temps.

Cool cool. I'll check the fans operational and look at hard wiring it on permanently

Thanks Nath: I forgot how much I like stuff from Torpedo7!! Thanks for the link - I just ordered $300 worth of tools and bits and bobs I don't really need but would be nice to have. They have a massive sale on at the moment.... nearly everything is 40% off (and it's cheap to start with). Bargains!! Sale ends today.

How quick are the groups lately?

Wooooohoooooo!!! Be good to have you back, mate!

Groups are the same... Totally depends on the day!

Have you ridden since they resurfaced T4 and T9? It's grippier and slightly quicker, especially the exit of 9.

Rick, the ram air ducts appear to have gone awol on the srad

**Ruckos87** · 31-12-2015, 07:06 AM

Sorted. Dose this mean I can keep going slow? Or have I been going fast enough to not need the fan.

BoB cheers mate, I chucked a post on you fan switch thread as to what the issue was.

No worries! Sorry I made you spend more money... But if I saved you 40% off $300, does that mean I get 40% of a V02?

I worked it out with calculators and science, it's all pretty good.

I actually need to grab one of those from you before end of the month, I will give you a buzz later next week.

Been working on a modification to a rear wheel to fit the Harris.....

Had to machine the carrier, spacer, and boss/pocket so the carrier would move 8mm closer to the wheel. ( Wheel is off a CBR600)

Note- bearings will be replaced for final assembly so didn't remove them for machining as they are required for mocking up etc...

some candy for y'all....

Cush drive rubbers will be customised as well

Cheers

Top work! How are you customising cush rubbers? As in making your own, or grinding down the current ones?

for now will cut/ grind down originals, but once all complete, will most likely cast some rubber into a mould and look purty...

next on the list though is a new rear calliper mounting bracket .....

Cheers
