How about a larger oil cooler instead of 2 separate ones?   

This looks sweet.  Ill be removing all the sloppy casting marks off of my heads soon. Im also thinking about milling the belt guards off of the cylinders, no need for the extra weight. 

Looking forward to progress.

Had a chat with the painter, he suggested that if I want to have this done for the Iatlian bike show on the 14 November, I better get the frame to him! So , thats what I've been doing...

got a bit done on the yesterday. Removed everything from the frame, while checkin it out when removed I found this..



I knew there was a crack there, but it had migrated round the back more than the front so it wasn't easily seen.
This is the worst side but the other side is cracked to.
I was planing to brace those area's.. maybe a timely rebuild..   Smiley

Monsta indeed!! Cool stuff. That is one thing I wish I had, a machinist course, I work in aviation and see some of the cool stuff the "metal" guys get to make for themselves!! Great people to know Smiley

monsta, mate how did I miss this one...?  What a beauty - I'm always impressed with (and yes a little jealous of) such machining skills  waytogo

And the cases look fabulous - who coated em for you?  Was it a Victorian  Cool?

Me? I'm welded on to this thread.....  popcorn

trucka..  thats a classy looking gusset!
I thought about doing a curved one like yours, one of the things that stopped me was the fact that it would be difficult to make...  the scolloping out to fit the frame.  Well done!   waytogo 
I was also interested to see the pic that greenmonster posted in your thread of the Ducati Corsa 888  http://www.madeinitalymotorcycles.com/888corsa%20291107.jpg  I hadn't seen that before.

Ung..  I'm no machining superhero! I just know some good people to get advise from..  some of them here on this forum! Smiley
the cases were powdercoated here locally in Perth. No big deal I think any powdercoater could do it.. just textured black. The time consuming bit is the masking, took me hours, even made a cover for the oil filter sealing face.


anyhow...
making steady progress, I'm a bit time poor.
Made the gussets.. 




I was thinking of putting another gusset below the cross section mirroring the top one? Because frame work is a bit of a black art, I dont know if the extra bracing will affect the handling adversely?
anyone here have any thoughts?  I was just going to copy what others have done...



While playling around with the frame, these brackets fell off!!

I'd bolt that frame to the cases for the welding.

Hey those same tabs fell off of my frame.

Looks good. Is that 4130 for the gussets?
