Asteroids G-1 coming together.
well the wife and i got a few hours work done on my 1st AF500 conversion.
the wife
shiming the engine, i placed 1mm washers between all my engine to frame mounting points
tightining the fromt mount bolt, i couldnt get a zink bolt all i could get was a high tensile black..it will rust very quickly. (BUGGER)
OUCHY OUCHY OUCHY the bolt i was holding spun in my hand.
putting the head back on.
Greasing the swing arm bearing using high temp grease
the swing arm now in place, i'm very happy with my OEM look spacers.
The motor in place for the last time (pending service intervals)
that motor has been in and out of that frame over 15 times..the wife & kid never let me forget this fact.
the back view
the front
Up the nose of a G-1 500
I'm nearly there.....thanks Feebee (wife)

The OEM looking spacers / engines bushes are they made of stainless steel?
Also what is the bracket bolted to the rear of the crankcase for?

Roosty you serious...ive seen some nice G-1 builds,
mines taking an eternity to do because i do a bit every payday.
I like the engineering side of things when i do things, & id like to say it shows in my work...and all the Banned help was the diffinitive guide i needed.
Agent...i placed the spacers with the required spacing in my engine because i was sick to death trying to get those 7mm-4mm spacers between the engine and the swingarm while trying to hold the wheel & all the other shit in place.
Now it just slides in like it was meant to be...OEM style
theres no load rating, metal fatige levels, expansion increases, weight gains or loses, just my way of solving a problem, and it works fine.
Bob your an idiot..LMFAO
