Rounding the final corner

By fr33bird

Ahhh, one more day of building and tuning before round 3 of polini cup.  Things are shaping up, but still a lot to do.  Another quick update before I pass out and start all over tmw.  Heres some (crappy) pics from the last two days.

Out with the old, in with the new.

Bye little guy.  You were so little and cute.

 I just think this looks funny.  Stretched out hobbit.  Maybe I will adapt it to look like this for the drag season.

Since the walls of my cases were so thin there wasnt enough material to get a good seal, so we just jb welded the entire case closed.  Oh well.  I have plans for a new motor build before round 4, so this is just kinda temporary.

Another thing that sucks about custom builds.  Nothing fits right anymore.  Couldnt find any threads that were close to the right size for this set up.  Had to take minarelli studs and thread them longer.  Real pain in the ass.

Motor is installed and the bike runs.  Had to adapt the old exhaust to the new cylinder.  No biggie.  Fired it up in the parking lot.  Seems good.  Kinda just let it warm up. The tuning will start tmw.  We’ll see what this baby is made of.

Worlds sexiest moped part.

Jimmy’s stubby.

There’s a couple real hints since the unveiling is just over 12 hours away.  My bike is running and ready for tuning.  Jimmy’s bike just needs a pipe mounted up.  We tore down jimmy’s bike for powder coat last night, so this is the last pics you will see of lego bike.  It will be in full on race colors next time you see it.

Sorry for the crappy pics.  If you would like better quality pics on the blog, I am taking donations for a new camera.  Feel free to email me for my paypal.  Thanks.
