  2. Hossackviffer Mkii 21 Jan 2013 18:07 Alodine... had to look that up. Guessing you use it on aircraft parts at work? Gonna be very careful with pressure testing. i've heard of people balloning tanks with only 5 psi.
  3. Hossackviffer Mkii 21 Jan 2013 17:32 Have you conducted a pressure/leak test yet? Also feel like a nice anodize or at least an sliding bath is in order. :-) Nope - filler neck and breather still need welding on. Open to ideas on wjhat to do for a…
  4. Hossackviffer Mkii 21 Jan 2013 15:25 Thanks Guys! :cool: One day i'll make a sexy hand beaten tank! Will be using a stock fuel pump and this mounting plate. [image: fuel_pumpm.jpg]
  5. Hossackviffer Mkii 19 Jan 2013 14:13 Wow, very Stealth-Fighterish!!! Cheers Mr Canuck! Shame it's going to be hidden with a CBR600RR tank cover. Will source some baffle foam blocks to stop the fuel sloshing about too.
  6. Hossackviffer Mkii 19 Jan 2013 12:41 Got the tank welded up.... [image: weld_tank1.jpg] [image: weld_tank2.jpg] Filler cap and breather ready to be welded on. [image: filler_cap.jpg] Next get it mounted!
  7. Hossackviffer Mkii 4 Nov 2012 20:13 Something to look at.. started fabing the tank. i've calulated that it will hold about 10 litres.. will do for testing. [image: Posted Image] Underside will fit over the airbox nicely. [image: Posted Image] Anybody…
  8. Hossackviffer Mkii 27 Oct 2012 08:51 SEBSPEED We need to collaborate and make many, many sets for all our VFR brothers and sisters around the world. :wink: Yes indeed we do :fing02: Some chamfering on the edges and black anodising and we'll be good to go.…
  9. Hossackviffer Mkii 26 Oct 2012 17:09 i started designing some rearsets a long time ago.... well there's a fair amount of machining and design in a full set.. so I cheated.. [image: 5gen_rearsets1.jpg] Adaptor plates... keep it simple and allow any cbr600rr…

  14. Hossackviffer Mkii 10 Oct 2012 07:33 Hmmm... apologies all - I hadn't seen that anyone had posted to this thread this year till this morning! Some progess.. I've moulded a rudimentry airbox as a standard one wouldn't fit between the frame rails. filtering…
  15. RVF800RR Build 7 Oct 2012 15:23 John Bradley’s books are both full of very useful information. Volume 1 is more theory based - Volume 2 is more practical and includes making a steel chassis, alloy fabrications, making exhausts, properties of other…
  16. RVF800RR Build 7 Oct 2012 09:10 HI Everyone, another exciting thread developing here then! :fing02: So your gonna do a trellis frame.. How about it using an existing frame to setup a jig/fixture from. it could possibly save a lot of work? Then you…
  17. Hossackviffer Mkii 14 Oct 2011 07:14 Cheers guys! I've seen Rangerscott69's COP setup. - Hoping it's still working OK too.

  21. Fuel injection conversation 7 Nov 2010 08:44 I've had a 'quick' look into EFI before. Microsquirt or Megasquirt have both been used to convert carb vehicles to EFI Looks as if you can use many different throttle bodies, injectors and sensors. Adding a cam pulse…
  22. 5th Gen Engine Modifications 3 Nov 2010 08:23 Just wondering how your getting on with the motor? :biggrin:
  23. Hossackviffer Mkii 22 Oct 2010 07:56 Druid Ok, I didn't know what your budget was but I thought £500ish was a good price for a custom built tank. The TL looks great. I wonder if it's for sale, it would be ideal for my commute :) Wish I had more funds to…
  24. Hossackviffer Mkii 22 Oct 2010 07:47 Ah, Now I understand what you're getting at! Your reasons for concern are valid and I thank you for pointing out a possible issue. Having re-evaluated the design and discussed with my engineer/welder friend i’ve come to…

  26. Hossackviffer Mkii 20 Oct 2010 07:35 Druid I know you were intending to fabricate a tank and use a CBR tank cover, but it might be worth getting in touch with these guys and have an alloy tank made. At least you know it would be watertight (or petroltight)…
  27. Hossackviffer Mkii 20 Oct 2010 07:15 Thanks Larry :fing02: I'm not really sure what you mean - i don't understand your description of the issue. :blush: i've decided not to spend $$ modifiy the engine until everything else is complete. If the bike handles…

  31. CANNOT get forks apart 11 Sep 2010 10:22 +1 on using a blow torch - heat the area around the seal really hot. I've found that if you put a bar though the axle hole and a piece of wood under the fork base, you can stand on the tube either side of the leg. helps…
  32. Need a throttle cable measurement please 9 Sep 2010 18:56 Sorry Seb - was laughing at myself for going out to the garage and measuring one cable then going out again to measure the other! Cables are still attached to throttle tube/switch gear. do you need them? yours for the…

  42. Hossackviffer Mkii 8 Jul 2010 17:47 Yep, it's going to be a challenge.. fortunately not for me though! I'm hiring the same guy whom did the welding on Mk1. After all this effort and accuracy I don't trust myself! The front parts of the legs and ajoining…
  43. Hossackviffer Mkii 8 Jul 2010 16:01 Another goal reached! :cheerleader: So pleased the forks are ready for welding. I'm never ever profiling tubes with such low angle joints and bends again! :pissed: [image: Posted Image]
