HONDA HRC 450RR



Right here's a few more pics while were waiting on the triples to be made (going to be next year before they get made) - sorry Johnny's X,,

This is the battery and solinoid in the airbox, as you can see it sits in there perfectly, , real impressed with the way it turned out, even if i say so myself












Thats about it for the moment, guys

Cheers,

That is a neat job there G !!! Fair play to you !!

Bloody hell fire G I should have done those triples when I had the chance ,,I could have made them twice over by now lol!!!

Stacey

I wish you had man, i wish you had!,,

That is a neat job there G !!! Fair play to you !!

Thanks Stacey, pity you could'nt have done the triples,,,, but never mind.

Ye, the 450's coming along nicely but slowing up a bit now, starting to build my big bore 85 250r not sure wether to make it an 85 HRC REP or just a very nice MX 'er.

How much longer will he take ? Is he going the same route as I was going to do ?

Ye, he's going to make exact replicas of the originals, but with the larger diameter bore for the USD forks, due to the triples incorporating part of the rake, all the engineering shops i went to would'nt look at it. They apparently need a 3 or 4 axis CNC machine,,,,or some crap, ,,

So the only place that would do it seems to be very busy with oil related work and with the holidays and one thing or another, it seems to be taking ages, i called today and the guy told me he's going to draw up the plans for machining during the holidays, so he says i wont get them this year,,,

If you still think you can do it, nows the time to say so,,

Thats not entirelly (sp)true I was going to part cnc them then finish off manually . I,m still going to say no on making them as I have a busy few months when I start back in January so it would be unfair on you and all these guys that are eagerly waiting

Have a good christmas dude and keep a lookout for a job on the rigs for me !!!

After reading the entire progress on this trike, i would like to comment on the true craftsmanship you have put into it. Great work!!

I have a possible problem (that i see) may be a problem. You have don't a great job getting everything to fit on this bike. The only thing i might be worried about is the gas of that battery being sucked into the engine. I am unsure how it might effect the performance of it, if any.

Again, GREAT work!!

Thanks for the compliment Phil, am real pleased with the way it's turned out myself, as for the Battery gas issue,,,,,,never thought about that,,, are'nt these batterys sealed?, i could run without the airbox lid, but i want to keep the airbox lid on if possible.

I'll check with Honda on the gas issue,, thanks for the heads up.

Glad you like the build,

Don't worry about that battery, its a sealed unit, no chance of gas or fumes leaking with that one unless it gets cracked.

Outstanding job on that bike Gordon but I figured it would be sweet considiering your others.

I think stacyl200 has a great Idea. You could cut everything In the cnc, then angle a mill head to the amount of rake needed then bore the fork tube holes. I'm pretty sure a 86r has 6 degree's of rake built Into them.

I know a guy that can make you some tripples with the rake built into them. If your Interestad In getting them done NOW, I will talk to him. His shop Is always slow this time of year, he has the cnc to do the job. He just does'nt work real cheap. He built cams for Toyota at one time & Is a VERY Talanted machinist. I'm sure he could build them as nice as anyone else. PM me If you want me to contact him, or I can PM you his number.

This bike looks like a brand new ride. It looks PERFECT. I can only wish I had the patience & money to build a bike that nice. You did'nt listen when other's said not to try building It, you then built a Wicked Badd Ass bike. Nice work!!!

I really must say...this is awesome. Lots of talent across the pond. The biggest disappointment....most of us here in the States will never lay eyes on that beauty in person. Pics NEVER do something as nice as this justice. Keep at and congrats on that sweet ride.

BTW....Anyone else recognize this front Wheel/Tire? I think I do.

[johnny's X]

Looks like an 86 350x front wheel to me. Yeah skip they guy and go with Jason's machinest and lets see that thing roll

[super90]

So what happened to this project?

[Jason Hall]

My machinist's wife Is the ruler of the machine shop & She has made It kinda tuff for Gordon to do anything here. I feel horrable, because I know exactly what he wants and have talked to him lots on the phone. Gordon Is a very smart guy who knows exactly what he wants. I'm majorly bummed because I can't get them made for him. She wants full payment before the machinist will start making them. If I had enough money to flop on their counter, he would be rollin In no time. This Is one awesome machine that I would love to see sitting on all 3 wheels..

It is an 86 350X wheel. WHERE did it come from?


Look familiar? http://www.3wheelerworldforums.com/s...ght=conversion

Sold it on Ebay, and knew it was going overseas, but wasn't sure where it would end up. Guess I know now! Glad to see such a talented builder was interested in it. Too bad it isn't gonna make it to the final build, but maybe it will end up on another totally awesome machine.
