I asked kaemna what hardware they used and they told me 10.9 . Since I had a hard time finding metric parallel allen bolt I bought some 12.9 grade instead.


After
1 month 8 days
2 dealers &
$450

I finally got my d@mn dp cams. I don't even want to install'em. I'll probably just hangin in the living room

woooo...

a good source for 12.9 and 10.9 stuff (and Dacromet coated) is mdmetric.com but you'll buy in 100 box minimums

Hey DL, how's it going? (..and Happy New Year).

Looking forward to seeing the finished style of the bike and it's dry weight. Also want to see what this bike's output is with the engine/carb/cam combo.

Looking forward to more ...............

After ya'lls bump in the thread it motivated me to cut the braces and starter solenoid bracket off to mount the carbs with the frame on. Im going to rebrace/relocate the removed braces.







Something else that I ran into was that the oil cooler won't fit in its stock location due to the air filter. I've been looking at a superbike oil cooler and mount it on the bottom horizontal valve cover or flip it 180° on the top valve cover. I'm not worried about that I'll get it to work.
I had to chop a nice chunk out of the rear tail section to make room for the rear shock. I still need to box in the frame where I notched it out.

I was talking to my buddy last week and I told him I think I might take my time on this. I keep thinking about doing my phase 2. My phase 2 involved lopping off the whole back half off and building an aluminum subframe with a shortened DP gel seat. Kinda of another reason is I finally saw the price of the custom triples I wanted and kinda bummed me out.

Nice!

Try rotating the filter or cut down some of that length at the carb mount...

Also, the SS shock spring is stupid close to the tank hinge mount...  just like the bikes I build w/SS shocks on them.

Looking good so far!

Minor updates

I got an email last week saying my custom triples are in production as we speak. EXCITING! I started pulling engines gears off for lightening but can only do a couple at a time.

Flywheel


6lbs 6.4oz to 3lbs 1.2oz


Cam gear


1lbs 11.6oz to 1lbs 6.2oz


And I had a friend weld up my sensor hole for me.


Hope you guys enjoy. Happy Valentines eve

Looking good.    Perseverance is what gets these kinds of projects done.

still nothing really new to report. progress is kinda at a halt until i get my custom IMA triples, but i know they'll be worth the wait.

i picked up some tpo ti engine mount bolts and some used speedymoto framesliders. FYI the speedymoto framesliders do have the same thread pitch as the tpo ti engine bolts. speedymoto said they didn't know and wouldn't work.  i guess they said that because they don't know how long the ti mounts are compared to the one that comes in the frame slider kit, but there's roughly 17.5mm of the ti engine bolt that's threaded into the frameslider nut.
