the netbook, the 88cc and the rg125
So first a little update on the netbook situation, bought a dell 2120, super cheapo, didn’t realize they came in single core models..
upgrade time!
Whole motherboard upgrade,
*eyes wwan port* pci-e ssd?
failing purple msi wind gave up its ram and ssd to my new chunk top.
Anyways back to the fun stuff, clutch carb, and rev counter installed.
They don’t work, but they are installed..
Check out the rubbing from the carbon fiber pipe on the shock 🙂
new old pipe is the best pipe ever.
springs installed to keep choke from closing accidentally, and the throttle from accidentally staying open 😀
Ford bits installed!
These will be where i install the rear sets, next week probably, no mig wire!
Pump and switches for runner 180 water pump mod.
Onto the Rg125, gs500 37mm forks fitted up quite nicely,they are a ton lighter and 0.59kg/mm springs seem to suit it
lock stops, steering lock, everything perfect.
Top yoke is ugly, but what are you gonna do?
Whole thing is sitting a bit high, we’ll fix that.
gs500 wheel is drop in replacement, if you needed to keep the stock gsxr forks.
Disc is a 320mm vs 310 and the speedo drive is a smaller outer diameter
Replaced the lower bearings with ebay specials, no rubber seal, unlikely to do so many miles i’ll need that. Dogbones need extending to lower the back about 3cm according to my calculations
extended 6mm, or at least i planned to, actually got 5mm, best i could do with a angle grinder and a stick welder.
Dropped fork 50mm, threw on the clipons i bought, i bought 38mm clipons cause i’m an idiot, rushed to buy them, nothing an angle grinder and some filing couldn’t fix. I like the radial master cylinder.
Onto some plastics mock up.
Fitting the under tray and some of the electrical loom
Probably gonna have to tidy that, quite heavy too!
Big gaps, need to move tail piece forward 30mm
2T oil tank i don’t think will fit under the plastics, thinking of making a tank and putting where the batter lived.
Moved forward here,
Much tidier, gotta weld it up next time i’m out there.
And also my cbr was sick!, ran rough as feck, very close to happily dumping it in the spares pile (already on DoneDeal looking at other bikes) but then we found the blanking plug for number three vacuum port, fallen off an sitting in the vee behind the cylinders… pop’d it back on and the cbr’s butt was saved again for another day.
