Awesome.
Funny how once you learn the system the easier it is to work on.
I saw a crashed bike with the r6 in it local marketplace. I thought about it. Dont have a frame to put it in.

Its a steep learning curve....
R6 is purdy awesome. Would be tons of fun in a small light pavement pounder.

A radial 6cyl would be interesting.

That doesn't look too bad.
Some paint and you'll never know.

Certainly looks better than the first one. It kind of just hides itself. Not really very noticeable. I think it's the one.

Just a thought
...maybe "blacken" it (flat black)
...so, the engine & air cleaner will "stand out"...more

Moving on, to rear diff/sprocket/axle/brakes thing in the rear that the wheels will connect to.
I took a few pics so and this is the first stage in a lengthly project. If sum-thing doesn't make sense don't worry, it probably doesn't make sense to me either. But maybe it will make sense as this thing goes together.
Started with a couple of side plates, to support the center section. This will house the sprocket and two brake rotors.
I need to locate center of the chosen .250 inch plates. to make holes for the axle and the bearing carriers. like this:
In order to find center ya need to locate the edge. This Cool little gizmo accurately locates the edge. Locate both edges on both axis and find the center from there. You can see the thingy jump sideways when it bumps into the edge.
Set the DRO to "0" and repeat.

Checking the archives here at MTL resulted is this nice find. Ceramic 6208 bearings. 40MM just like the center axle section.
Stay tuned tomorrow when we tackle the bearing holders.

As promised in this episode of Hacks garage we work on bearing holder thingys and other stuff.
The thingys were made 'sept for the threaded holes. Since there will be about 100 HP jerking on the chain, trying to put the axle in crankcase it would be advisable to make it stout. As we all know fine thread bolts are stronger than course threads.
So the bolt selection will be 1/2 inch X 20 TPI (fine)
If ya have a drill press with low enough speed use it. Makes threads easy and straight.
The steel plate needs to be drilled fro bolt clearance.
The holes should be tight as to prevent slippage from the above mentioned horsies. It's much more satisfying to stick your bolt in a nice tight hole. To that end the holes were drilled 31/64 then reamed to .501 Ya can get reamers in + and- sizes. Depending on your specific bolt needs.
The bearing holders are less deep than the bearing is wide. That way when its bolted up it is clamped into position by the 1/2 x 20 bolts.
The side plates are 1/4 inch and the skid on the bottom is 3/16. When assembled it will look something like this:
On the next episode of Hacks garage we'll see if we can figure out what to do next. You don't wanna miss it!

Well l try to show the "right way" to do things. We get some young and impressionable DIY'ers here. Just last week there was a couple 70 sumpthin youngns hanging out here. Their parents probably had no idea.
And l need to make things as complicated as possible. Its all about the building,
i'd say i don't care if it ever gets done, but that would be BS!

Hey T,
Back when ya wasa lookin' for air cleaner options, I remembered I had this "fancy" air cleaner & tuby thing
It came off of one of them "fast-n-furious" kinda cars...someone had "blown up" & wasa scrappin
...but, couldn't find it
Then, the day after ya reveal V2...I found it
