You gonna put any cross bracing in the windshield area? Make it look like a preruner.

In roundy round they call it "The Petty Bar"
It gives the front of the Halo 1/2 again the strength, if it gets tied into the lower pod

I don't know.  Then it will need some wire mesh and mud all over it.

I might cut some and see what they look like.  Can definately add later on.

WUT?  So I have to get it all finished before I know where to mount the seat?

You remind me of Nancy Pelosi! "We have to pass the bill to know what is in it" 

You don't realize how important pedal positioning is till it's wrong. LOL!!!!

Thanks!

Get your Eyes checked.

So it's definately not a Rorty then Eng...

There used to be an issue where users would end up getting two sessions, one on www.dtsfab.com and one on dtsfab.com which is now resolved. A side effect to that is all your images which you did not specify the www on are now broken. Sorry. As a side note, you can specify bracket img width=# and height=# end bracket to speed up the page.

I ran the equivalent of a search and replace on the database. Images all work now.

I am trying to figure out how to do a shifter cable on a busa.  I plan to use a morse cable.  I am starting with a bare shift shaft. 

The splined arm that goes on the shift shaft is very short.  A cable or linkage could be hooked directly to the little fella then to the shifter, but it seems to me that a longer arm would put less stress on the push-pull cable and possibly give better feel and actuation.

Does anyone know where to source a longer arm with the correct spline / diameter?

Am I making this to hard?  Buy the splined link off Fleabay and connet the cable directly to it?

Thoughts?

Pictures?

Use the stock arm. You DO NOT want a longr arm .It will decrease any "feel" there is in the shift. You also do not need or want anything over 6:1 on the shifter either. Believe me. I have BTDT for sure. Ne reason to repeat my mistake.

[fabr]

BTW,I just LOVE my super short shifter throw. IMO it will help extend second gear dog life. It is a MUCH MORE positive feeling shift and you really know you have fully engaged the dogs. I feel my first tranny's second gear failure was directly due to too much shifter ratio. On a busa second is the first to go.

Are you running a cable?  What size?

Throw me a couple more bones....

What is the clutch cylinder banjo fitting size?  Is it common?  Can I buy one for a braided hose or how do you deal with it?

What is the little hose hose running off of the thermostat? housing for?

Can you get the quick coupling ends for the fuel line or do you just clamp a hose on the pipe?

Do you know the difference between the fuel pump with built in sender and the pump with separate sender?  Is the wiring harness the same either way?

[fabr]

-3 AN standard,I think,10 mm banjo. If your radiator is above the engine delete the little hose. It's an air purge line to the reservoir bottle on the bike.I cut off the tube and silver solder a -3 an steel fitting onto it. Not positive on the last one.

[fabr]

The cable is 1/4" morse. 

[Engineer]

Sweet thanks!

I really couldn't figure out the heater hose. 

How big of a radiator are you running?  and any issues with heat?

[fabr]

Scirocco size. I forget the brand. I'll look tomorrow . NO issues at all with cooling

[Carlriddle]

Radiator size is good, but Fabr like to run fewer much shorter fan blades.

Did you get the fans sorted out?

[SPEC]

bbbbwwwwaaaaahahahahahahaaaaa
i forgot about that

[fabr]

LOL!!!! Even without all but 6 blades gone I don't worry about cooling. Flexalite gave me new blades and a new shroud but would not replace the complete unit.
