82 Mugen 360 build

[stroberts22]

it looks awesome, but the rear wheels are jsut to big as a 10" wheel. i think it would look better with 8" wheels and shorter/wider tires. but that's just my 2 cents. Outside of the rear wheels/tires, it looks amazing man.

I've done the 18" tires with 8" wheels and it not very good for the trails. I was trying to keep this one were I could ride it anywhere. I don't know why the rear tires are so big. The are just 20" tires.

I ended up making the head stay out of metal. The aluminum I had was too thick to fit on the tank mounts.

I had to take drastic measures to fit the mugen pipe. I had to grind on the head to get clearence. I hated to do it but have gone to far to turn back now. I'll try to get pics tommorow.

Where did you have to grind? On the left side of the head? (left if you are sitting on the bike)

Is that a hi-flite "desert" seat kit?

The left 2 fins had the ground alot to get the exhaust to fit. I don't think it's a hiflite seat. It doesn't have any markings on it.

I worked on the clutch a little today. It's going to have a hard anodized billit aluminum clutch basket. No more grooved baskets hopefully. Still trying to get it to work but I'm close. Now that the clutch was in I could kick it over a few times and it has tons of compression.

Who did your clutch basket?

Sweet build man

I cranked it today. It runs great but 3rd gear is out of it so I will have to pull it back appart. The gears looked good when I had it appart and it went through all the gears on the bench. On a good note it pulled super hard through 1st and 2nd!

[stroberts22]

I tore it down today and didn't see anything wrong with the gears and it shifted perfect on the bench again.
