The undertray looks great Chris And thank goodness someone invented the Lithium battery ! Makes creating a special all the more easier when you don't have to contend with housing a bulky lead acid house brick battery "somewhere else" !! I couldn't decide whether to polish or powdercoat black my ally undertray, but in the end I went with polished. There is quite a lot of black on mine, plus I thought muck and stone chips would soon spoil the finish of paint, so I decided a polished finish would be easier to maintain. Looking like you are nearly ready for final strip ?? Dusty Hi dusty ,thank you I'm happy if I have your approval ๐, I have to re make the bracket's that hold the fuse box / rectifier,as I chopped them off in the beginning ๐ thinking I won't need them but things have changed and now I do ha has oh well ! But not to far away now ๐

Hi ๐, little update ,I made new brackets and welded them on to hold the fuse box / rectifier plate as I cut the originals off because I thought I didn't need them but things changed and i did in the end oopppsss ๐,I also shortened the two lugs that hold the fuse box so it now sits closer to the plate . The wiring is looking ok everything lines up and works ,do have to find a place for the flasher unit !!! Next job make a bracket to hold the new coils ๐Chris ๐ IMG_20200804_192926 by Chris, on Flickr 00100dPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20200804195635500_COVER by Chris, on Flickr IMG_20200804_205941 by Chris, on Flickr

Hi , little update on the under tray ,I made some alloy clips up and brought a rubber battery strap to hold the battery in place , folded some alloy side brackets up welded them on so the battery can't move side to side ,once powder coated I will stick some sticky back foam on to cushion the battery it all works really well and Im Really happy with it ,few pictures ๐Chris IMG_20200806_141916 by Chris, on Flickr IMG_20200806_142626 by Chris, on Flickr IMG_20200806_173159 by Chris, on Flickr IMG_20200806_173208 by Chris, on Flickr 00100dPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20200806173233767_COVER by Chris, on Flickr 00100dPORTRAIT_00100_BURST20200806173245652_COVER by Chris, on Flickr

Hi everyone , i took my wider 3.5 inch belgrada rear wheel and an old 140/70/17 rear tyre to my local bike shop this morning and got them to stick it on the rim for me, as this will be the size tyre I'll be running so wanted to double check chain run etc and gap in the swing arm ,it all fits up nice ,I need a offset front sprocket but I knew that. I'm chuffed because just that wider rim and tyre transforms the rear end I think it's cool ๐ Chris IMG_20200815_104624 by Chris, on Flickr IMG_20200815_111850 by Chris, on Flickr IMG_20200815_111904 by Chris, on Flickr

sidney81That doesnโt look like a Belgarda rear rim to me. Looks more like a 4HW or similar? What the wheel code, R what? Jon

The wider tyre does look so much better in the Rd frame I've got a 140 on my Cafรฉ bike, but I parked it next to the 400 project the other day - that has a 150 fitted, and that looks huge ! Do you know what offset you need yet ? Haven't measured mine yet, but I think it will be pretty big. Need to mess with the sprocket spacer as I have an Lc and a Pv spacer in the shed, I think. That may help reduce the offset on the sprocket Dusty

Off the top of my head, I cant remember the difference between Lc and Pv sprocket spacer, but I think it's 5 or 6mm ?? Sure someone will confirm. I will have a dig in the shed tomorrow and if I've got both I will measure them Dusty

I have read somewhere that PV spacer is 5mm wider. On one of the threads about fitting 140/150 wheels. Think they needed to make up 10 mm for chain run and advice was 5mm off carrier and PV sprocket spacer.

Hi ,been messing around with the front sprocket. As mentioned the ypvs sprocket spacer is wider so I slackened the sprocket nut off, wound it back so it's still on the thread. I then have about 5 mm of play!! so with a ypvs spacer or I make one up I can gain around 5 mm ,I also have the option to take a few mm off the rear sprocket carrier to if needed ๐ Chris IMG_20200817_184311 by Chris, on Flickr VID_20200817_184322_LS by Chris, on Flickr

Hi Chris, I double checked part numbers. The aircooled sprocket spacer is the same as the Lc, so 14.25. I have a Pv spacer in the shed, and that is indeed 19.5mm, so that will help. I've got a 3mm or 5mm, cant remember which, offset front sprocket, so will try that with the Pv spacer when I get time. Pv sprocket spacer is still available, albeit it on backorder, from Yamaha, but it's expensive for what it is. I'm sure you could knock one up easily enough, and save a few quid too Hth Dusty

If you use the YPVS distance bush do you still have the ability to lock your nut using a lock tab? Don't forget the outside part of the bush is also the running surface for your seal.
