 Stainless steel engine brackets with the Suzuki S, #41591-31000 & #41590-31200
|
 Made from stainless and mirror polished. Had to tap the head to remove the taper thread so now 3/8" BSP rather than BSPT
|
 Machined the brake caliper dust seal ring from stainless, the original one was bent and rusty so had to go.
|
 Piston and dust seal ring fitted. Just need the dust seal.
|
 The brake caliper piston is made from stainless with a brass cap. Piston hollowed out and within 10 grams of original piston.
|
 Press fitted the brass cap in to the piston. Total weight is 180g some other third party solid stainless pistons are 280g or more per piston, but could easily get a bit lighter.
|
 Finished polishing the stainless steel yoke cover. And the lower headlamp bracket cap.
|
 Finished machining the torque arm bolt, just leaves a rub with wet 'n' dry and polishing.
|
|
 I
made these rear foot pegs about 18 years, they are machined from
stainless steel bar.
|
 Just
finished polishing the rear pegs.
|
 These
two pics were taken before I polished and cleaned the rubbers.
|
|
|
 Chain
adjusters, again made these years ago from a block of stainless
steel.
|
 Probably took about 6 hours to make the pair, and about 2
hours to polish.
|
|
 Titanium
rear wheel spindle, ground and thread rolled. Also have made the
front wheel spindle out of titanium
|
|
 Rear
wheel spacer, polished stainless.
|
 The
crankcase breather pipe has been drilled and tapped and an insert
is screwed in with a small diameter hole through to try to stop
water getting in the gearbox when jet washing.
|
 These
are the stainless steel mounts for the rear shocks. They are a
push fit in the frame and swinging arm and are bolted from the
rear with mushroom headed allen bolts. See the Frame section
|
 The shorter mount is for the swinging arm and bolts on with 3 x M4
bolts, while the longer one bolts in to the frame with 4 x M3
bolts. I was a bit more limited for space on the insert that is welded into the frame.
|
|
 Stainless steel bolt for the rear sprocket.
|
 I
know you can't see them when they are on the bike but they still
have to be polished.
|
 Milling
the square on the end of the sprocket bolts.
|
 The
cap for the air reservoir on the Marzocchi AG strada's.
|
|
 Made
a brass oil filler plug that screws in to the clutch side engine
casing to replace the original push in rubber one. The casing also
needed to be tapped.
|
|
 Tapped
the oil filler hole in the clutch casing M20 x 1.5
The Original hole is the correct
tapping size for this thread. |
 I
have also made an oil filler plug out of aluminium, I am just
machining the angles on the side used to grip when screwing in the
plug.
|
|
 Stainless
steel water bypass hose connector.
|
 I
know you can't see it but still needs to look good.
|
 The
rear brake pedal shaft has been sawn off and drilled a 10.5 mm
hole through. This shaft bolts on to the frame. More photos can be seen here.
|
 This
shaft is 4mm under sized, this allows for a brass bush to be
inserted in to the brake pedal. The end is tapped M6. When the
brake pedal is on a grease nipple can be fitted and filled with
grease. Then the nipple is removed and end cap is bolted on.
