1000ds FCR Build

[Düb Lüv]

Okay everyone. I've been recently getting my photos from shit bucket to reupload my pictures.


Recently Liam from sportbikegear sent me the tps setup for my fcrs. I haven't been able to mess with it much.very cool kit. Very detailed.  I was unsuccessful shortening one of my fingertips, so I kinda have a useless right hand.

Heal up
Looking forward to your completed project and how the motor recipe performs.
Cheers

Just picked up a NOS set of Roadracing brake scoops and a Roadracing front fender, inspired by this thread.

Wow where did you manage to find those scoops? I haven't seen any this side of the pond ever!!

I got the last set of anodized aluminum, but I *might* know where there's a NOS of carbon fiber ones.

I'm a finder of things.

I don't even want to know how much those cost. I'm testing the whole "budget" concept.

[LowercaseJake]

Well under $200. I'm happy.

[koko64]

How are you DL? Hope you have recovered.

I'm fine now my finger nail looked like a tree root for a little while. It's almost back to normal.

Thanks koko

I've been thinking about making some new progress on the build. I know this sounds stupid, but I've dreded boxing up the cylinders and pistons for a fresh bore job. It's such a pain in the ass to carefully box everything up and cost of postage and insurance. I just remember the paranoia shipping my heads to ducshop.

Glad you're recovering man.
Maybe just higher comp pistons  clean up the ports yourself and call it a day?

Theyre 1100 pistons. The size is escaping me at the moment. I have hyper cylinder but they have piston scrape marks on the walls. When I had the Ferrari pistons I was just going to risk it and use the hyper cylinder but I replaced those with pistals. If the cylinder eats a set of rings it's $100 per set and worse case damaged piston. Then I'd be cryin the blues.

It's like a snowball that's big enough to run you over financially. Larger aftermarket pistons, shit now I need the rotating assembly balanced. Ugh. Whatever. I know I don't have too, but with the amount of money spent so far, I don't want to skimp.

  Might as well go the whole way.

Sunds exactly like where I'm going with my "spare" YM1100 motor for my track bike. Started as a back-up, now it's all in bits with Carillo, Pistal, crank balanced, DP cams, close-ratio gearbox, new bearings all around ordered, .... Having retired, the snowball increased in size as well so it will have to take the time it has to take.

Yep might as well, I mean it's only your money not mine so what's the big deal lol
