It's the stock one cut down (just for the MOT) the side panels are now gone again and I need to make a new chain guard to replace the hugger, my first one developed a crack so has been discarded.
The bike is currently down to 169kg wet, so just over 20kg lighter than stock.
Making it less 'wheelbarrow' is quite high on my list of priorities, once running in is complete.

Slob,
Given the wheelbarrow appearance are you just going to chop the cans down in size and leave all the rest the same ? Seems the simplest of options, other than lengthening the whole bike......

2into1 pipe... more weight saving ;-)

Who are you getting to make the headers Slob?

slob · 01-10-2013, 07:45 AM

I've got some JHP ones for a 620, just need to extend them a little for the extra stroke on the DS Motor.

nope, it's simple: short at the back, long at the front

edit: I've thought of a couple of things
. use allen bolts, not hex head for more clearance.
. make sure the height is about the same as when the bike is sat on its wheels.

The engine stand looks really handy.
Mind you, it does look like it results in the weight of the engine putting a lot of load on the rear mounts (ie a clockwise turning moment when viewed from the right hand side).
I can't see that being a critical issue as the cases are probably strong enough to take it, but its massively more than the design originally intended and would possibly be significantly increased when you're heaving on a spanner.
So I was just thinking, could you add a removable support at the front ?
You could still remove it for when you needed the access but refit it afterwards.
I guess even a block of wood would do the job, but a pukka extension would be neat, and much more secure during the aforementioned spanner heaving.

those mounting points are used for footrest hangers on monster, so not a stressed part of design

main frame mounts to top of engine

slob · 29-06-2015, 03:12 PM

I had no issues with either clutch or alternator nuts, the bosses round the holes are substantial and the other side takes the side stand.

I had my 600ss on these stands for a few months with no problems and Ray uses the same at RC.

And similar types are shown in pics on Google image search.

I am going to get a set made up, for Ducati's and the Triumph.

Dirty · 29-06-2015, 04:03 PM

I could do with a set of my own, the set is the pic is currently holding my wet clutch engine

Some one should do a welding course and make some up.
