jan de groot engine ,af frame
royceymon@hotmail.co.uk:
sorry the shots are not that good ,from what i can see the transfers had been cleaned up a bit and the internals looked as if they had been vapor blasted leaving a very fine sheen ,on the kips side i would have to put a standard set against the de groot stuff to see if there was much difference, the piston is domed its not wiseco and def not standard piston , i would dearly love to find out who worked on this engine when gunderstorm (think thats the correct spelling) was riding it! to find out the true spec and story behind it

ive started a monster!! started the chop out today , made a jig to hold the frame whilst setting up ,perhaps a bit over the top but were going to use lazers to make sure its all central .perhaps im being a bit anal about it dont know whether any of you other guys made a jig ,when i made the first cut on the main down tube it opened up and moved slightly over to one side but marginal .dont know how im gonna get the rad mount on the left hand side sorted as you can see more main tubes gonna have to come off ...it seems to be a very "snug fit" hours and hours to go ,did about 5 hours today and didnt seem to achieve much although saying that i redid the swing arm spacers down from 17.5 to 17mm gonna be a long haul!!!!!

did some more today ,forgot the camera duh, cleaned out the frame from old stuff chopped off a bit more main tube cut the y section down sanded sides and front and cleaned inside to refit to down tube ,not long before the tiggin starts , oh and sanded back old top motor mount flushed ready to weld on shortened old one might leave it offset and bend some lazered out new profiles or move over and use straight ones ...does seem the sensible option less agg movin it over..
dont know what to do on the kickstart front might get some of the 25mm ali plate we have water jetted out to make a new kickstart new shape using cad ???
