Re: Akpilot's next Project
The two hoops look bad together, the stock Honda hoop has a much tighter radius to it. * When I had it bent I knew they were different but did not think it would look this bad, when I was bending it the stock hoop had not been cut so we were just holding it over the stock. *I'll just have another hoop bent up and not use the stock hoop. *On my Fl800 I purchased another stock rear cage and with shipping I did not want to go that route, besides getting a dent/bend free cage aint easy or cheap. *I sure the two new hoops will look much better.

Re: Akpilot's next Project
Mounting the RPM transmission.
I'm mounting the Transmission the same as my FL800. *The Trans uses the bolts in the case to mount the two plates. *The front plates' bolt is a pivot point, with the rear and the top (Hat) have elongated slots so the trans can pivot forward and backwards. *This allows you to use a range of belt lengths because you can set belt deflection with the pivoting trans. *I think the FL800's secondary moved about 3/4", therefore the belt circumference difference range is 1.5". *If you pick popular belt lengths to begin with chances are if your in need of a belt the "borrowed" belt will get you out, naturally this does not take into concideration belt width.

Re: Akpilot's next Project
How are you finding time to work on this thing when there is still snow on the ground? That trailer/ worktable is made to haul sno-gos to the mountains. Thats why nothing gets done on my rail, I'm never in the shop.
The oddy looks like it is taking shape, looks real good. I actually like the 6.5" spacing on the roll cage and you could use the extra room for your large mellon. |

Re: Akpilot's next Project
Alright no mellon jokes,
I've been grounded from snowmobiling since the last Turnagain Avalanche got one of the best riders in the world. *Two from Turnagain Hard Core (THC) lost their lives in Feb. 15, 2008. *Seriously I can't think of a worse way to go than buried alive. On a lighter note I've been able to get into the shop more. *I started to see how the engine will fit in the chassie. *This 4 stroke is HUGE. |

Re: Akpilot's next Project
Bug,
I have not run this clutch on my Pilot. *I purchased the secondary at a swap meet and put the ER kit on it. *I have been wanting to put it on my Firecat to see the difference between the stock and this one, but theres too much snow for a short track so I have not had it out yet. *I will before end of winter, matter fact this week is starting spring break and a perfect time to take my boy riding and I can do some tool time.
