Made a matching alt pulley to go with my crank pulley.

Finished up the machine work on the ford fuel pump mount rings.

Made up a bracket. Looks like it is gonna be right here.

I could not get happy with a location or fuel line route with the automotive pressure regulator I had.

So i got a pretty hot rod adjustable regulator.

And made up a bracket.

Mounted to the intake/throttle bodies.

I had already mounted the idle air valve on the other side.

So the sorta match now.

That about up to date.

As yall can tell..... I am working on brackets for all the stuff I gotta mount.

I have some rubber vibration isolators ordered for mounting the computer.
 
Excellent ... I just loves me some build threads ... I see a VW build in my future ... or maybe a restore ... saw an awesome home made v8 trike for sale the other day ... guy wanted 16.5k ... and it needed lots of work ... ran really good, but to get it to a daily driver stage, I'm guessing 4-5k and 40 hrs labor.

Sorry for the hi jack ... now back to our regally scheduled programing.
 
A dub can be a chore to do. Your talking about 35 to 40 year old mechanical pieces.
Me.... I just wanted small motorcycle sized. But if size is not the end desire then go with something more modern.

I would like to do one with a Mazda wankle, something like a turbo rx. Massive hp to weight ratio.
 
I'm a decent mechanic on my own trike, but I really admire these guys that can fabricate and build from scratch. That's talent
 
Have not done much lately.

Started on the wiring harness for all the mix and match pieces. A lot of sorting out which wire does what.

The bike part of the wiring will be simpler this time, just the basics.

Tore down the mock up. Gotta rework a spot the oil cooler hit. But other than that it is time to paint the frame.

Ground some clearance room in the swing arm mounts.

The engine is gonna be wider and the pipes larger. Both need a bit more room, everything is so tight to fit.

Then cut out (again) that gusset that hit the oil cooler.

Then made a single sided larger gusset to replace the boxed in gusset.

And welded.
