My Next Project.................
This one will be Code Name Trojan.......... Don't Ask Why.It's what popped into my Mind.
Never owning a Sport Bike and Not wanting to Go to 4 Stroke Squid Bikes
I've Decided to Build my own Almost Modern 2 Stroke from Pieces of
Spare Parts that I have Lying Around.This one will Probably take a
Little While to Finish.(It took 8 Years to get something Resembling a
Finished bike from my 69 T500)
When Finished I'm Hoping to Get something a Little Similar to this.
The Modifications to the Engine will be going on thru out the Summer as time and Money Allows.
So far the Mods are turning out Pretty Good.There is a Lot of work to
go but this will give you a General Idea of whats going on.
I'm going to Attempt to Install these Stock Yamaha Banshee Reed Cages
into the Intakes.I'll be Using the 3/4" Trinity Racing Spacers as the
Boxes.This Means I only have to worry about Enough Room to Sink 23MM of
the Tip of the Cage into the Cylinder.This itself makes for Another
Problem.Getting the Cages Angled to Point Downward to the Intake
Port.Hmmmmm OK here we Go.
Actually I don't think that the Angle Milling would have been a Big
Problem.It just that in Order to Make room the Cylinder Fins Had to be
welded up to get a Flat area Big Enough to Gouge out and still have
enough Flat Space to Seal the Spacers Against.
OK it doesn't Look Pretty Right Now.I would have liked to have Gotten
Them Tig Welded but the welder said that for this Mig was the way to
Go.The one on the Left was the first to be done.The Second? well thats
what a Cylinder looks like on 190 Everclear.
Still not Bad at all but he Used a little more Wire than I really
Liked.I may take the lft one back and have him Fill in the Lower Fin to
match it up a Little if it looks a little out of Sorts when I have them
Milled.Right now the Reed Boxes won't be Attached to the Cylinder by
Welding.They will be Bolted so that I can play with different Spacing
to see If there is any Changes in the Tune Between them.
OK here is the Donor Bike.It's an 89 GS500 E that Had a Clear Title.I picked up for a really Fair Price off of Ebay.
Well the Intake I'm going to use Finally Arrived.Notice no Balance
tube/Boost bottle Spigots.Good they are a waste of space.Especially for
what I'm Building.Just one more thing to Leak Air.Right Now I have
enough to worry with to keep Air tight.
Now It's onto worrying with what I'm Going to stick in the
Bores.Instead of Playing around with the Baby Size Stock Suzuki Pistons
I've decided to go all out with a set of Old Wiseco .080 ( 2mm).This
will take the Displacement from Possibly the Stock 492cc up to 521cc. More is Better I guess? That is until the Pistons detonate or Sieze and Ruin the Bores.
Here's the Pictures of my 69 T500 Cafe Racer.Modifications Include:
34mm Mikuni Carbs
Billet Intakes
Uni pod Filters
Milled Heads
J&R Chambers
Redwing Shocks
GT Front End
GS550 Drilled Discs
GS550 Calipers
Nissin 5/8 Master Cylinder
Fiberglass Rear Fender and Side Panel
Euro GP Bend Handlebars (Thanks Gordon!)
Not Finished Yet.Still have a Few things Planned Like a Set of Moo's Reeds.
