Here it is, the humble build by 87cclR

Flip it up side down. I made something similar. Not as cool or fancy.

How have you guys mounted the individual brake lines in the past? I'm talking the kits that use two individual lines instead of a T.

I looked at some pictures in another thread I started about this tee that comes in the kit - Jimbo45 was kind enough to submit them. Based on what I'm seeing with the way the tee is mounted on his R and the routing of the pipe, I'm hoping I'll not have clearance or interference issues. Have to wait and see.

Yeah, mine clears the sparks mx pipe fine, just mounting it on the right hand side factory boss.

So. Having been absent for awhile, I've slowly gotten more work done, and have a pic or two to share. I've since relocated the rear Elka rez to the correct location (instructions, duh). More details and progress pics to follow. Enjoy.

Looking good. The blue with black is a good looking combo.

More pics.... Hope you all enjoy as much as I've enjoyed the build. Thanks.

Bare frame, homecoming day


Powdercoated parts. Have since purchased an LSR Axcalibar and anti-fade combo, so no use for the sprocket or disc hubs


Polished thumb throttle and brake reservoir, both received rebuilds (my local polisher is the fn bomb)


Polished dogbone


Polished engine covers - the head and the jug are out to the same guy for polishing, should have them back this week


Hubs in the same blue as the frame. Had the polisher do the LSR tie-rods while he was at it


And what can I say, I got tired of not riding, so I picked up a spare - sadly, no R's in riding order were available, so I had to settle for this tank....:numbness:

[dem3500]

lots of shiny stuff!! lol.   hey as long as you cant get out in the dirt anything is better than nothing!

[dem3500]

personally i LOVE prismatics powder. its the only powder i use anymore

[87cclR]

Only way to go, their stuff is top-notch. I struggled for a week or two before settling on that particular blue. I didn't want to go with the typical candy, wanted something a bit different.

[87cclR]

So, my polisher had a nice holiday surprise for me, the jug and the head are done and delivered


Next week I'll build the motor back up and hopefully put it in the frame, start getting her ready to ride.

Motor in the process of being built. Running into a few "normal" issues, one bolt hole on the right hand crankcase cover doesn't want to grab threads. Pulling cover this weekend and will heli-coil the offending hole. Need to do the same with the oil drain plug, thought about going oversize (14mm), but it seems easy enough to just pop a heli-coil in there as well. Waiting on the N.O.S. head gasket and the fastener order to come in. I placed an order with Fastenal for the OEM-style flange bolts and button-head stainless bolts for the covers. Whichever looks nicer once I swap them out for the old crusty ones will be the winner.
