They are great wheels! They are a little delayed because they don't normally come able to accept the 25mm axle I'm using so they have to fab up special spacers and such, and all for a rather measly sum (the fab work not the wheels!).

Of course, now I'm into the hard part, which is actually fitting up the turbo, etc. I've never worked on one so it'll be a learning experience for certain.

If you need any help give either myself or 'fastbyme' a shout as we've both got turbo bikes, though Dave (fastbyme) has eaten more Rajays than I've had hot dinners.

I am at the point where I need help!!

I haven't been near the garage (or this site! :oops: ) for weeks, but am back to it. Here's my problem: I haven't been able to put together a parts list of what is needed for a turbo bike, nor have been able to piece together how the wiring and oil lines SHOULD run. The POs ran wiring and lines, but since they F'ed most of what they touched, I want to redo it.

I'm pretty certain I have all the parts, I just need to make sure and need to know where some of 'em go!

Hey all! Been a bit since I posted here but I've been back at it lately. Since to me "machining" means filing a bolt or taking a grinder to the frame, I carted the turbo up to the man who's making those spiffy triple clamps for me. He's going to machine up the clamps and do all the spacers and machining for fitting the ZRX swingarm and the wheels.

:xbou

Lower triple clamp is done!

Here're some pics of my lower triple clamp. First one is a manufacturing pic!
