anyone know which way round the ex-starter motor ring gear bush should be fitted (picture #2 in last post)?
I forgot to check if the large oil cutouts face the crank oil seal or the outer casing

which is (still) trying to stop the front tyre from hitting the centre header pipe..........

Just tranner help...........


Do away with the bubble though.

That would indeed be different

Gary,
There's more metal to come off that gear and I don't think you need that "spacer" if all it drives is the nylon gear. Always more grams to be pared off.

not a lot really Dave - been busy at work, readying the holiday home for the coming season and making progress with the Tesi project, so the GT750 project hasn't received much attention recently. Plus I purchased an RF900 to run around on in the summer, so had to prep that too.
Did manage to find time at work to fabricate a pair of these plates though - shouldn't be hard to guess what they are for......













no cheating now.....................

Interesting .. what ya got planned with the plates bolted to the head ?

[garry55]

found time today to cut the holes for the spark plugs



and turned 2 of these alloy housings to accomodate a pair of RGV250 rubber engine mounts



when the motor is firmly mounted on the 2 rear brackets, these will be welded to the head plates like so



then the support arms will be shortened and re-attached to the frame spars



and it will then bolt up to support the motor at the front, like so.......



this will enable me to run without a cumbersome and, in my opinion, unsightly, front subframe.

time will tell................

[Suzukidave]

Another interesting method to get the job done

[Suzukidave]

Hi Garry , have you had time to get the upper mounts welded back on ?

[garry55]

not yet Dave - time is tight at the moment and I am having issues with the rear-top motor mount.
I did find time at work to make my version of a barrel puller









I also took 6 of the original head bolts



machined the dome off and drilled and tapped them to take 8mm bolts thus





so that I can dismount the motor without disturbing the cylinder head



but until I solve the rear upper mount problem, it's on hold.

[garry55]

oh yes - almost forgot - I bought it a seat unit too !





for that "TR750" look


note to self - cut grass.........................
