NC 30/35 Madness!

Here is the heat shield I fabbed out of 1/8" aluminum. I put some ThermoTec 2000 degree heat barrier on the pipe side. You can see the capped master and melted res tubing from when the meltdown happened. You can also see the longer clevis I had CNC'd to get the brake lever where I wanted it.

I think I missed the next page. Sorry.

 

Yeah, I knew that. Commenting on THEIR wire job.

 

Did you make your own template or did someone have something already formed?

 

Made a template with thin cardboard. Something along the thickness of the cardboard for a soda 12 pack works the best, IMO. Once I had the template, my buddy cut it out with his plasma cutting table. You will also need to spin up two spacers if you use the heal guard/master mounting holes to mount it. That was the cleanest way, IMO.

 

Kinda what I figured. Card board has been my go to in the past. I have access to a water jet so I just need to make the card board template.

 

So jackwad ( formerly known as previous owner ) hacked the harness at both end for some unknown reason. Today I got the tail light sorted using a Japanese schematic and ohm meter. Viola! Taillights!

 

Looks like someone is getting a Tyga body kit and LED's. That wiring is cringey.

 

Almost there! Stay on target! Yes I know it says VFR400. Shut up…preemptively. ✌️
The harness was crazy but I managed to locate all of the right wires. All my digs work and tail light with the LED conversion..

 

Hahahahahaha, I wasn't gonna say a word

 

yo Norcal, do you have a DXF file for the heat shield? I can make my own no biggie, but I like the look of your shield.

 

Looking killer. Liking the muffler bracket.

Why are the peg heights so different left to right?

 

Thanks! I figure purist will twist in their seat on the build. hahaha

This bike came with the lever set on the left side of the bike (much lower and further back). It has a much longer custom shift rod than stock. I don't have the right length (stock) shift rod in hand yet. So, I left the old set on for a test ride to see how the transmission goes. By the time I get the bike put back together for that test ride, I will probably have the right parts. lol

 

So this was a fun find. Jackwad torqued down the air box so hard that the head were already stripped when I got to them. Thanks to you forum peeps I used methods previously discussed in other threads and removed what was left. Yay…bastard. Lol

 

Tadah!

 

To use this tail I needed new subframe hardware. My machine shop boys produced! M10 +M6 on top.

 

Sorry, man I don't. Saw your message and asked my guy and he said he trashed it, didn't think it would be needed again.

 

For future reference, there is a guy on Ebay who will make any length you want in ti. They are nice and he doesn't charge a lot for them.

 

Got the missing parts from Tyga. Yew, coming together! Heat shield cut and ready to form.

 

Looking really good! Coming along nicely.
