696 rebuild - on the road & stage 2

[Raux]

From wind pressure alone? 

well probably from vibration due to crappy roads near my house as they redo the normal ones. AND a few runs in the triple digits... well more than a few.

noticed it today. the normal short vibrations went into long oscillations... i knew it wasn't right. I was going to make sure the bolts were tight when i got home.... never made it before the dash fell into the wires behind the light at 100mph  well that was the last speed I saw before...

anyway, learned to ride with no speedo and no tach I think I was carrying higher corner speeds as I wasn't looking for indicators, but was feeling the bike better.

Was able to get a mount built before thursday's (last) safety day. got some pics back... really the first pics of me riding the new setup.

I need to get a short front brake line.



and really need to start phase 2 which will include a custom exhaust



but the ride height change with new rearsets... tons of clearance. need to get a new kickstand (Mark ) that will hopefully give a bit more clearance.

Looking good!!

+1 on the new kickstand.

Mounted the white skins back on for inspection so should have some nice photos.

Also bought some smaller rear signals matching the front ones. tuck in real nice under the seat.

pics pending.

Are you routing under cases for horizontal cylinder because that would be awesome...

[Raux]

using stock headers for both cyl.

horizontal will stay high right side.
vertical will curl under motor and out right side behind rearset

ending up using the front head pipe from another bike at the curve near the top of my right boot.. happen to land perfect with the front exhaust shield mounts on that pipe looks very cool.

the top exhaust midpipe is welded up. gotta clean it all up. not a professional job, but it will work. nice snake look to it. it comes out wrapping around the higher mounted brake fluid reservior, so I may throw some shielding on that as well.

going to measure the pipe length tomorrow and start matching up the low pipe routing, probably will have to make it into two parts to ease assembly.

oh and decided no pics until complete.

I need a stock front exhaust shield and mounting hardware... anyone got one around?

That little shield on the horizontal cylinder pipe?

I've got one. No hardware though, used it for the CF one.
