Mounted "twister" today to see where I could weld a support bracket so all the weight wasn't hangin off the exhaust ports.

My best bet is the cross member right behind "twister". I may remove the round bar and replace with square stock. Or may decide not to do anything at all.



I think this would be my last frame mod before it would be ready for powder. I am not doing any "beauty" work though until the dryfit is done.

A buddy stopped by today from Toronto (other side of the country) and brough me a present. A quick parts exchange later and I had a nice billet stablizer which gives me much more room behind my head light.
Of course I will have to grind off the old mount and weld on another one but it is worth it.


Here is where the rear res is going to live. I am making a tap off the batter box to affix it to.


I have a brembo off an r6 but my mounts are done and it would require more welding and changing my new stailess steel push rod so I am thinking that is out.

Was a real nice day today so didn't get much done on the beast. Put on the levers and controls to check tangle with the stablizer and made up a new bracket for the mini reservoir.
Don't worry, that is not my brake hose just the mock up hose. I will be using clear "TYGON 2075". Best on the planet.

Here is a better shot of a good mounting area for Twister. Gunna run something from the cross member.

You sir, are my hero

Been a little busy but will be back at her with lots more pics shortly

Ok, riding season is over for me. Plates are off the bike, final video cut and posted.
Now I am thinking of camera mounts for the new project. I had some time sorting out good camera positions on the kat and had some camera issues (vibration and electromagnetic interference) so, I am sitting and pondering some invisible mount points on this beast. front and rear.

You will bake your top end at that compression ratio. You have the right idea on boost but add a base spacer to get you to about 8:1 ratio. Keep your cam timing around 104degrees on both intake and exhaust sides.

Well, it's been a long time but I am back at her. The turbo won't materialize this season due to budget contraints. Since I spent a fortune on normally asperated parts I decided not to risk them in a turbo engine this year. The Efi is a go though.
Today I mounted a waterproof USB port on the beast cuz I hate running out of power on a ride.


Behind the iphone is a rack of led's so I have some light under the seat if need be.

[katman1260]

There is always a snag....

As you can see in the pics, I can charge my extra iphone battery and power an led light for seeing in the dark, but, what I can't do.... YET!!, is charge the 3GS. This phone has a different charging parameter that Apple changed with this phone. Needs more than power/ground wires. Needs low voltage to the data wires of the usb as well or it will not accept the charge.

I have it figured out, just have to work out how to put it together.

[katman1260]

OOOhhhh baby!!

I love it when something actually works on only the 10th or 12th try.....

[dabaitman]

wow loads of pure awesome on this bike

[katman1260]

Surge tank is done. Didn't really need one but thought I would throw one in anyway. The kat tanks are big and roomy so low fuel situations could be sketty..
What a pain plumbing, looks pretty straight forward but it wasn't. Running AN6 all round being fed by pingel 5/16 valve with 80micron screen.
The pump is a Mallory 160 litres/hr low amp draw since kats don't have many amps.

[dabaitman]

Very kool.

[katman1260]

fabbed up a cooler mounting bracket out of 2" x 1" angle alum and mounted the front and rear signals. I removed the old rear signal mounts and moved the signals forward.
