front nose cone is now secure. Used parts of the old sub frame, reversed some brackets and it all seemed to go quite smoothly. The oil cooler will sit inside the nose cone but i will create some air ducts to force fresh air around it...........I think, oil cooler pipes were swopped sides because it had to sit upside down because it would reach my fixing point and the pipes would have fouled the fat forks. Thinking about which clocks I will use. The original vfr one has 2 connections, one goes direct to the cdi box the other to earth, works by the cdi box sending a voltage, the greater the voltage the more revs. I was hoping to use my old cbr600 fh clocks as theyre already cut down to bare bones and quite small. even has the temp gauge next to it but the problem is that it has 3 connections, earth, coil pulse and cdi box so works on the pulses from the coil. So 1990 on new model honda's tend to have the 2 connections.
Fairing lower is still a worry that its too low.Not sure how to get round this because of the race regulations insist on a lower fairing to contain oil. Most bikes of this age had the fairings as a 2 part because the exhaust were directly under the sump.
perhaps i could try and put a small belly pan.....or try and cut the lower tlr fairgn down a bit because its quite long and tends to dip at the back end.
Had some thoughts on various ideas too, could i make a manual exhaust valve flap so i can vary the back pressure at different revs, try and give it mor etorque low down by restricting the flow then opening full above 8000. Also could I create a variable airbox. Got me thinking now for the future. At the mo though I have to deal with the mundane issues like making sure all fairing brackets, steering obstructions, clock mounts, radiator, coolant tank....list goes on....then its finally stripping it all down, engine tweaking, suspension twiddling then finding ive run out of money to test it!
