I have just collected tools as i go. My father is a sculptor, here is his website, www.rickbooth.com

 

 

 

Dude sweet work.

 

so i ALMOST got really upset. I put the bike in gear and tried to roll it to free the rings from the sleeves. What do you know, it rolled with no resistance and the pistons never moved. DAMNIT, dont tell me i have to rebuild the tranny too.











































































Then i took a few seconds to investigate and discovered the clutch basket is missing, WHEW, thank Buddha.

 

Heh... that would really have pissed me of if it where me...

 

Ha its alright, i have all the clutch components in a box, so it worked out.

 

worked on it a little tonight. Why dont all motor manufacturers make the bottoms of their motors flat? It kelps out so much. This is my first motor that i can do this with.



got to love big bore twins

 

reminds me of something, hmm but what?



mmm crusty water pump



damn whats that remind me of????



oh ya, reminds me of my knee. BINGO!!! thats it



Anyone know what purpose this plate serves? Looks like it just blocks oil from reaching the case, ANYONE, ANYONE AT ALL?

 

Sorry can't help you, I've never had that side of the engine apart.

But you can download the service manual here: https://www.superhawkforum.com/forum...ad.php?t=11365 That might help.

 

It's to dampen engine noise, especially clutch/transmission rattle.
This allows the manufacturer to make the cover thinner..............
Which also makes it more fragile..............
So you get to exercise your welding skills.

thanks to the both of you.

Hmm cant you just tell i HATE clutch noise by looking at my Ducati. Wait, what clutch noise?

 

Hmm, I don't think you can easily do a dry clutch conversion on a SH... The duc looks nice like that though! working parts all there to see, just don't get your clothing caught in it!

 

Truckinduc - Great to see your storm getting a gleeful winter dismembering

Took a peek at your dad's website (see where you get it all from!) - I'd be interested to see any pics of progress on the JagdStuart - ta

I've an artist friend who's into recycled sculpture - Junkyard Wars style, though I think the finished Stuey would stomp all over it.

 

so ive officially got the FLU. THIS **** SUCKS BIG TIME!!!!!!!!!!!

I have barely got out of bed the last 2 days.

 

Sorry to hear that, being sick sucks.

Hope you are on your feet soon bro

 

well Im porting and polishing the front head tonight

 

I know the term port and polish, but what does that entale as far as what you have to do, what tools and materials ect? I might just be clueless, but do you just polish the air passage ways out?

 

Sounds like you're having fun Truckinduc. My riding buddy has 2 Ducs, an 851 and a 998. No question of when he's around, with the clutch clatter.

Your thread is starting get legs...like the PWNT.

porting is enlarging and reshaping the intake and exhaust ports for better flow and gas speed.

Polishing further increases the airflow velocity, but you dont really wanna polish the intake ports because a tad of turbulence helps with fuel atozimation.

Ill be doing a mild port cause the honda ports are designed well from the factory.


QUESTION, what do you guys think of a 1 piece carbon fiber tank-tail section?

 

TOO LATE

 

here are some shitty pictures. Ill take better ones when im done.

 

ill be looking for some tiny buffing wheels so i can buff the exhaust ports and the pistons. The front head is 98% done now, just got to hit it with the final touches.

 

front head is FINISHED. Exhaust ports are polished up to a nice shine. Now i need a valve spring compressor so i can re assemble it, can you guess how i took it apart without one?

 

Pull! and step back as pieces fly?

 

nope, it was actually very controlled.

 

Brand new camera is giving me problems, WTF, it wont charge.

INTAKE





EXHAUST





Wouldnt you know it, i have 8 thousand sockets and none of them fit the spark plug, once i get it out ill finish buffing the chamber.

 

and since the cylinders are actually the same front and back, I removed the unused CCT bung.

 

2 C-clamps would be my guess.
