was bord today, so thought i might as well make my head stay. this was the first time i have used my milling machine and it turned out to be a little harder then i had imagined. did not turn out as i had hoped, but with some sanding she might look a bit better!

more speed, less feed, coolant, not lube, and carbide, not hss

looks like it'll do just fine

If your really afraid of your frame breaking, run a kevlar strap bewteen the steering stem, and engine mounts.

LMFAO.... Bob made me burp my coffee out my nose... good thing it wasn't hot! LOL

I wish I had tools to make that!

started to mock everything up so i could get my pipe and muffler to fit and get my brackets all made so i could take it back to the welders to finish up.



rear pipe mount

whipped up some coil mounts

nothing on TV, so made my muffler mount

got her nice and straight

now i just need to make some pipe fit.........

I'm digging your mounts!!

I used two old FMF silencer head pipes together to do the "dipsy-doodle" around the sub frame....

thanx bob! i wish i had another muffler to use the pipe off it. i like what you did, nice and clean. i dont even know were to find SS pipe that would work.........

today i was looking for the best spot to put my coil, and was thinking about welding it behind the headstay. it would have been a hard spot to get in there to weld it, so i came up with a diffrend approach. i know its not the prettiest. all i can say is thank
god you wont be able to see it!!!

hey thats a good spot for stuff, thats where my cdi lives as the wires are to short to reach behind the number plate. keep the ideas flowing, thats what makes these projects fun

bike is off at the welders this morning. ordered some SS mandrel bent tube to make my exhaust. now its a waiting game.........

damn, I should have had you make 2 of everything and paid ya! LOL
This will be my next project too! LOL 2005 CRF250chasis, CR500

maybe you can have my headstay, it didnt come out the way i wanted it to. i have another block of aluminun sitting here..........

I would be interested, but I am not sure if it will work, as I am using the stock cradle .... I think.

I think it may look better with less holes in it. I guess if you are worried about the weight not much else you could do.
The build is lookin good!

yes, that was the reason i drilled holes in it, to lighten it up a bit!

Looks great
Is it done?

ok, its been a long summer and time to finish off my bike. i got this piece of pipe from burns stainless to make the section from my pipe to the muffler.

nice build

i really hope those case bushings arent aluminum, hard to tell from the pic

Looks great and some good ideas to ponder on my build.

went to take some pics today and my camera died!!! GGRrr..... found out there was a recall on it and sent it away today. so no pics for a bit. and yes my bushing are steel.

Tacoma... you may get a few hoon´s that would be interested in your stays and other little bits that you make.... I really liked the pipe mounts.
