sandblaster:
I'm officially jealous...  :-P

Foxx4Beaver:
yep...it's definitely one of the best looking AF builds on here!!

Chainsmoker:
Top notch build, I love all the TI, great attention to detail! It looks fast already and its only halfway done, can't wait to see a finished product.

jBernard:
Thanks guys.
If you like the Ti i'll be posting an update soon with some sponsorship eye candy I'm sure you'll love!

For now here's the 3d printed pieces back to test fitment.
The rekluse spacer I'll need after doing some case milling to get a flat area to mount it to. This will be pretty tricky but I'll figure it out. Also since I have to weld the perimeter I'm worried about thread distortion since it's so close to the edge. May have to do pilot holes and tap after its welded on.



HPSD mount looking pretty rad. Its a bit to compressed at max so i'll shorten up the throw about .050-.075" and it should give me just the right amount of play buffer.


I have some Ti Sheet laying around, and since the swingarm spacer tabs are exactly .080" i thought what the heck. So these will never see rust again!  :evil:



-Next up is to get my linkage races/bushings finally machined up so I can stuff my Mg linkage and the back end wont be floating around anymore.
-Machine up HPSD mount
-Still working on getting some Inconel 718 head and cylinder studs made, becoming a PITA.
-Rekluse slave case fitment

thanks for watching!

Wow beautiful project! Cant wait to see the finished product. Have you considered Ride engineering's brake caliber? And have you done EFI on a 500 before?
