always wanted a Monster, never quite got one, but... - Page 6

I agree that open belts are a risk.... I may look at a slightly different guard at the front as well.

For now, here is a short video of how it sounds.... I did take it up the street and the throttle response is fantastic!

Made a stand today to keep it upright and safe in the garage… The wheels are idler bearing i changed on a car recently when I did a can belt... makes it roll nicely. Also fitted the seat badge and tank protector.... with all the Corvid 19 issues its looking like I won’t be riding it for a while…

Scratching around for jobs to do now while I cant ride it! made some frame finishers…

Darren69 · 02-04-2020, 04:49 PM

Nice! I bet you could sell some of those on here?

but bloody costly to make, in man-hours, if you don’t run a CNC lathe.

Darren69 · 02-04-2020, 05:26 PM

Oh god yeah, so many hours work in those for sure. But doesn't everyone have a CNC lathe and a 3D printer these days though?

Mr Gazza · 03-04-2020, 09:22 AM

I see what you've done there.. I salute your stellar brilliance..

I might just steal that for a couple of my woodwork machines..

350TSS · 02-04-2020, 06:32 PM

^^^^^ No - more's the pity

350TSS · 02-04-2020, 06:34 PM

Incidentally, does the central Allen bolt compress the "O" ring?

Nickj · 02-04-2020, 08:27 PM

Just a random thought on 'always wanted..'
I never actually wanted but I got one and the rest as they say is history

Darren69 · 03-04-2020, 09:24 AM

yes they were... but the intention is to replace them with some longer DRO's that are now available cheap on Ebay...

well I came to make the last frame finisher that was actually a different size to all the rest... then I noticed that Ducati had cut the frame at an angle! So I had to make an angled finisher... this took some setting up in the lathe to get the angle just right....

Mr Gazza · 04-04-2020, 12:37 PM

It needles me when people call digital calipers, Vernier. A few are guilty of it on here.
There is a distinct difference between Vernier and Digital calipers. The Vernier principal relies on the comparison of two different scales. It can be applied to two discs with holes of uneven centres too, as in some camshaft adjusters. But Digital is just a linear count.

Sorry to be pedantic Darren..

I suppose you think I am in the pedantic society now?... Well you'd be wrong matey, because it's the Society of Pedants..

Buzzer, do those dro's read the same setting if they are switched back on without moving from the last time they were switched off?. If not they won't do my job.

yes, they retain the setting they are zero'ed into... but if it was me I would get some of these!
