sheerider11 Posted June 11, 2016 Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 It's my first time with a round style carrier but the essential is all the way in the back(which is all the way tight) . I'll put it toward the front and see if I can overlap The chainPull the master and set the chain. Roll the carrier all the way forward. See how close you can get it. I set my chain pretty tight too. I don't like the shock of taking the slack out then the wheels turning. Maybe I'm just paranoid, but I've broken a lot of stuff and feel that helps a bit.

RagunCajun Posted June 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 I went ahead and shorten it and that did the trick. I also installed a new clutch cover gasket because I had a puddle on my garage floor. That's what I get for reusing it.Called my folks and it's pouring down there. So no riding today. edit* leak was the cover on the bottom screw of the plate on the front. It's where you have to grind the nubs off to clear the lockup. I cleaned the threads, put a lot of locktite and throw some RTV on the back side. Hopefully it holds. I've never had a problem leaking there in years of doing it. If all else fails, ill epoxy it.

RagunCajun Posted June 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Went run a half tank before the rain started again. These are the last pics ill post until something major cosmetically happens. http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff111/raguncajun/6-12-16%204_zpsoplou0mw.jpg http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff111/raguncajun/6-12-16%203_zpspnvqlxki.jpg http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff111/raguncajun/6-12-16%202_zps0a6a8ror.jpg http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff111/raguncajun/6-12-16%201_zps4wbs8zb4.jpg Ill start beating on it after i finish off the tank next weekend. I plan to order some different silencers. The ones they have on here are very very loud. But that isnt too big of a deal. I also dont find the brakes work that great. Only thing used(read as from my old build) is the rear caliper and rear line. I dont find the front nor back grab that hard. Ah well. Maybe it's because the rotors and pads are new and need to be broken in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickedcarbine Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Little hints of that gold in the seat would look sweet on anodized parts here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted June 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 You mean put some gold anodized parts on the bike to bring out the gold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaegerEliminator Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Sounds like you might need to bleed your brake lines further. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RagunCajun Posted June 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2016 who likes boring as hell shaky video? me neither. But that's all i got yesterday. At the end of the pull in the end i had coolant pouring the hole right behind the radiator hole on the clutch cover. So there went the water pump gasket. It was a new Tusk gasket but i didnt put rtv. Going run and get some RTV after lunch. I'm glad i have a new water pump gasket laying around too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RagunCajun Posted June 27, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2016 little 3-5 pull letting off to shift. I forgot how much time you lose when you gotta clutch to shift. override ftw. https://youtu.be/H_ao4tr09ZA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RagunCajun Posted March 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Little bit of an update before bed. I am finally able to do a few things to the bike with the new job. I'm back in my previous field. I took some weight out of the sling shot meanwhile going back to 6 stock springs. The clutch had 3hd/3regular springs for serval year. It shifts much better now. I had issues shifting at very high rpms with the serval even though it has a promod. I set the center adjuster for the clutch better. It was way off although there was no issues. It was years since i did it but it didnt take long to refigure out once the clutch cover was off. I installed my stock length round house style swing arm today. The install went very easy. I cleaned every seal, shaft, bolt etc back there while i had it apart. I regreased everything as well. I am surprised the carrier took as much grease as it did for only 14 hours on the bike. I only cut the chain once and it was perfect. I went for a quick spin down the street. It sure is a hand full. The front end shoots up when the power band comes on. I will have to rebleed my back brakes because i dont quite think they are where they should be. I may end up getting a shorter rear brake line. I ordered a 23" braided stainless line and it's too long. I will see what they do about that after i specifically told the guy via email it needs to be shorter than stock since it's round house which requires a 25". That isnt a big deal though. The rear caliper is stock but works fine. It has some Tusk pads with a JDS rotor. http://i.imgur.com/zfZYUmc.jpg http://i.imgur.com/qrF6Kdf.jpg Next on the list is new 2001 year model plastics(i sold the fullbore hood) with new OEM graphics(rear fender will have no decals). I am trying to get some obsolete decals remade. Finding the original 350 twin 6 speed is a chore. Then i will get the JL d/c conversion kit. I will sell my harness Kompulsive Concepts made me and have him do another. There's a few wiring changed i made so i ran it as clean as possible. At that time, i will be converting my bike to have brake lights. The bike was test fitted with a cheap ebay LED brake light a few weeksend ago and everything now bolts up after i modded the plate. I may do shorty ASV levers. The long levers i have are starting to bother me. There's anything i can think of that i want for the bike after those items. I'm not doing and chrome or polished stuff. I'm still no the hunt for some CSFX silencers. That's about it for now. edit* also want a Chariot thumb throttle. This modded stocker to open 39's sucks. But it works for now and im being a cheap ass until some other things are taken care of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
