If you decide to make them, I'd be interested in trying them. My bike vibrates like a paint shaker.ShanMan wrote:you might want to consider going with a two-piece head stay. Several of the guys on this site claim it helps control vibration quite a bit. Let me know if you are interested...we could probably whip something up pretty quickly to give it a try.

Shanman, how much do you need to get started on the Gen 3 headstays? I might be willing to front you the money to run a line of them. I need two sets right now. Seems like a steel version would be thinner and stiffer. Let me know.ShanMan wrote:I'll make them if I get paid orders.....no money in the budget right now to create inventory....same goes for engine cases...assuming I can get some loner samples.
Anyway, the headstay design could be twin machined aluminum ones or the steel version, which I think will be best:
Thanks. I really was wanting to see how close the exit spout was to your pipe. The first pic with the hose clamp, how close is the hose to the pipe?Ported&Polished wrote:Here you go.pimp559 wrote:Got any pics of the hose routing from the rad mod?

BINGO! Thats what I was looking for. How much clearence do you have between the pipe and the hose? MIne touches a little becasue I have a 1" spout and I'm not sure how I'm gonna fix this yet. I'm thinking about denting the pipe or having a little more tube welded at an angle to the spout.Ported&Polished wrote:

Thats a great idea Iggy. The only problem is my welder has a 1 hour minumum at $64 an hour. I was also looking for a cheap fix. Maybe I could get a 3/4" threaded collar about an inch long and cut some threads into the spout? I wonder if Bob's magic tape would work on this? I have no budget right now, I blew my cash on engine rebuild parts. I pick up my Cylinder from the shop today. I can't believe this motor (1992) was on its first piston (stock bore).iggys-amsoil wrote:You could put a pipe, thats nearly the same diameter in there and gently bend it towards the frame. The stuff is pretty soft.

Ok I just put a puke bottle on the machine and used disstilled water and Watter Wetter, hope it runs cool now. Gonna take it for a test spin shortly when the temps come up a bit. I also discovered that my tire gauge I was using is goofed up because I had like 30 psi in the front tire! No wonder the front end was harsh, but these Marzocchis do feel softer just pushing on them.

Well, the stock forks have a inward off set mount that uses that red spacer and the axle that was in them. The Marzocchis are straight forward and centered at the mounts so they needed a longer axle. So I went into the tubs I got from you and there was a axle and nut in there. Tried it, and it fit perfect! It's probly the stock cr500 axle.
