After getting Mito envy while reading through Yazza54's thread I remembered that I had a pile of bits that used to be a mito. Being as the swingarm I made didn't fit I decided that I'd get a standard arm as it should be a straight swap  I quickly remembered that I needed a rear wheel so I ordered one from an er6 so it would match the zx10 front  It seems that the sprocket carrier I made for the 10 wheel fits but I won't know if the chain run is right until it's all together. It looks pretty though.  When I tried the wheel in the arm I quickly realised that they won't fit together properly without machining the hub down a lot.  It was then that I remembered that I moved the shock mount on the frame which gave me a couple of options. 1 is to move the mounts back to their orginal positions, this would mean that I'd have to junk the rear subframe and use a different seat unit though 2 try something else Being as I quite like the way it looks I'm going to try someting else. |

Being as I'm basically starting over again I thought I'd have a go at re-making some of the bits. One of the first things I found in the shed was the rear engine mount. So I found this 7.4kg lump of ally hiding in the bin  Which ended up as a 1.3kg lump   and fitted in a loose arm   I then decided that the yokes I had already made didn't look as I wanted them to so ........    and a fitted picture ( I really need to clear my shed out )  The weight of these are 1.54kg and for comparison a set of oe R1 yokes weigh 1.5kg. I made a set of domes up for a friend of mine as well which have a toriodal chamber.  The plan is that I'll use this shape when I ( finally ) build the engine which will save some time messing around developing the chamber shape Next job is to work out fitting the engine tie bars then I can start worrying about getting the wheel to fit in the arm |

You have some epic machining talent, but I'd question who leaves big billets of aluminium in the bin lol

+1 this has been a rebuild thread I've watched for a long time and it would be great to see it finished |

I'm still in the planning stage at the moment so it will take a while longer yet Plus I'm trying to get shot of my 3ma for a bit of space and everything has come to a standstill until that's sorted There is something I want to try out on the intake but I'm still working out the fine details so it will be a while until I'm ready to give any details out on exactly what it is  |
