Haha yeah I do like to document everything. I feel like people enjoy the threads more that way. The clip-ons did feel really weird on the first couple of test rides both in their distance and height but when I was able to clutch my first wheelie up i immediately realized why everyone loves them this way.

And yeah my avatar always throw people off, I made it that way intentionally :P

 

Did some more work this weekend. My stealthstay came in so I installed that. A stealth stay is made by a small company in California for stunters. It is an ultra low profile stay constructed of steel that lets you run your complete upper and let the clip ons clear the top of the stay. It does require chopping the upper quite a bit though.

The first thing I had to address was the fact that the mounting points on the headlights on my upper were cracked. So to fix this I did a ****ty first attempt at plastic welding.






To install this little beauty, it had to be done in stages. first the gauges had to be installed on the stay. Then you had to install the stay onto the headlight. Then I had to install that onto the upper, and then the entire assembly had to be put on the bike via the stays main bolts.









Also I wanted to get a better pic of the RSC shorty easy pull clutch I installed a while back.



And here is a good shot of the finalized controls.



Yesterday was my birthday and I got the 56t sprocket that I asked for from my sister, the 16t sprocket I asked from my gf and my DID chain came in last week as well. I also have word that my cage and subframe cage are on the way and will be here by the weekend. More to come soon!

 

Happy belated birthday lol
looks good man

 

nice project.
i like the 12'oclock bar.

 

nice build! Im curious to see the cage installed.

 

I got the subframe cage on over the weekend, cage and new sprockets are on hold. I went out to celebrate my birthday Saturday night and I was essentially dead to the world on Sunday.

 

lol ya we have all been there.. happy b day.. late

 

What do you plan on doing for the handbrake set up? Also wanted to add I did the same fiberglass re enforcement and it didn't help, mine still cracked. I built my own tail saver and it is great and gives you way more stability in seat standers!

 

Not setting up the handbrake yet because I'm a scrub and I want to learn to be really good with my foot brake before I go handbrake. I heard that the fiberglass can still crack but as far as I'm concerned this tail is only temporary until I can move on to a round bar. Then when I get a new tail I think I am going to go the fiberglass and a steel tailsaver on the inside under the plastic. I want to maybe fab up something that can even be bolted to the subframe.

 

from the way it looks you could fab a small mini subframe for the tail..
