And so it begins again - Classic endurance replica

#1 PostAuthor: Robw » Tue Feb 11, 2014 8:38 pm

Never one to be bored, I have decided to build a endurance replica to go with my ELR. I have quite a few parts left behind from my previous rebuild, so hopefully keep the cost down(well that's what I will tell my wife).
Got a frame from Duanne(thanks), a bit rusty and needs a weld but ideal for my project

The frame will be braced and unwanted brackets removed and oil cooler and frame brackets manufactured and welded on

Like it, I love the 80's enduro style, some great picture on the Performace Kawasaki page on Face Book.

Not really sure yet, got an idea in mind. It will definitely have a endurance fairing and I may get a tank fabricated to suit the look. It will be twin shock and will use a zephyr swinging arm. I aim to use standard forks with billet yokes and AP brakes as they are cheap and work very well. I have a pair of A3 wheels that look good, just need to get my disc centers changed to suit the 4 hole mounting.
Engine wise hopefully a 1170, the head will go away to Simon's Dad to be gas flowed.
I have alot of parrd left over from my last build, so hopefully I will create some space in the garage.

Cheers, I think they will be a bit to long forecast I have in mind. I have a set of forks but one side has been machined for some reason. It did have a homemade spacer fitted between the Speedo drive and fork leg

Just roughly positioned the Zephyr swinging arm, I will need to make some new spacers, but as I have my own lathe that shouldn't prove to be to painful. I am thinking of fitting GAZI shocks as they look okay and cost a reasonable amount.
I have a pair of A3/4 wheels, which I got from Bill Newman, but the rear one may have to be replaced by the 1000j one, as its a bit wider, so I can fit a more suitable tyre.
