92 KATANA

In these shots you can see(barely) that the foot peg position is moved up and back(about an inch each way).If you look at the tank position,Its moved back as well(about 3 to 4 inches).We'll have to wait and see how this affects cornering and front end push but I think the suspension and swingarm length will overcome this.We've got a 6.25 PM Chicane rim on the way.It will be interesting trying to fit that size rim in the swingarm.We're also going to a smaller diameter rear disk from an 86 GSXR as the current one is HUGE!

The PM wheel came in today!Mike and Chris are going to ROAD ATLANTA and plan to get some more parts and a slick.Right now we are working on the solo rear section.The Main seat pan is together and working and we're starting to "glass".The AIRTECH gastank sprung another leak so we ground the bottom edge and ordered some epoxy resin from FIBREGLAST.
We've dealt with this company twice now and I can't begin to tell you how great and fast the service is.This is THE place to deal with for anything related to fiberglassing.
We put the new rim in today to see how it fit.BAAAMM!!!IT FIT WITH NO MODS!The tail section is coming together great.We got the tail support and taillight mounted today and got the sides and top of the tailsection in place and we are almost ready to glass it up.We put the epoxy resin on the tank in the area we felt the leak was.Our fingers are crossed.We havent checked for leaks yet.
BACK TO CYCLE ALCHEMY



UPDATE!!!

We completed the tail section and rode her down the road.Everything is working great!Mike took it to the Gap this week and wore it out.If you see this Bozo up at the GAP,make sure you say "hi". Well we lost the battle but won the war.The Airpieceoshitech gastank still leaks so in a very fed up and drastic measure we stripped off the carbon fiber to find not one but upwards of 6 leaks.Pinhole size except for the major player that was visible to the naked eye.All the holes have been repaired and are holding up well and Airtech can kiss my Hairy crack.The only other teething problem has been the oil cooler line blowing out of the fitting.We kinda expected that and knew it was a "weak area".We ditched the fittings and had some new one's swaged on.
