The idea is to fit a removeable cross brace on my SS so it's similar to the early 750 900 sport frame which never cracked around the headstock. With the removeable one like on the corse 851 frames i can fit the airbox which will need to be open top (most are modded with k and n)
Hi Imola, I think that it's a "Halving joint ", bolted together, rather than a slotted one. I think that it was used on the Corse 888's so they could use a 1 piece airbox. I don't think that you can buy them, it's more a DIY job.
Thanks for info On the look out for a metal halving joint or get a solid piece of round bar cut/machined and drilled. :smile:
Have a search on a drum shop website...............they use all sorts of clamps.......I had something in my kit that may have done the job..... Chromed though.... AL
Steve Mr R Yes i know i should have kept it but i just couldnt keep up the stupid hours i was working to fund its rebuild and along With the project and me we ground to a halt. I feel much better these days doing sensible hours but im always Skint now with 3 young children to feed and water. Before long.... as Dad keeps hinting to giving me the keys to his VERY rare hailwood mille rep as he struggles To ride it now at 68 years old. It will get ridden though and no doudt when the engine needs a look over i will be coming down to callington as tbh i wouldnt trust anyone else Working on a bevel engine.
Custom bicycle framebuilders use a tube splitter fixture for belt-drive frames. Here's one example from my side of the pond: Tube Splitters - all - www.paragonmachineworks.com
nice unobtrusive and easy to remove would look nice in stainless or would that be prone to cracking ?
Bl**dy good, wouldn't look wrong painted red or black, really. Without knocking the design etc, I think the bottom front edge of my tank could be close to the lugs and bolt ends nearest to the airbox. AL
