headstays, engine mounts, etc.

I just went outside with the calipers... .630" on the head outlets and .695" on both the inlet and outlet on the gen-1 rad.

dude...you are the MAN! thanks.

On another note...I have costing back on the ignition and clutch covers (see earlier posts in this thread for lots of examples) and it looks like the prices will be as follows for 20 pieces:

$150 for an anodized ignition cover with machined-in script (still undecided):

and $175 for an anodized clutch cover with machined-in script (still undecided):

But, I will need to get some orders to offset the costs, or this is a no-go. So, who wants/needs bling?

On the clutch side, was capacity increased?

It was, although at this point I am not totally sure by how much. After I get the first artical set made, I'll know for sure. My guess is probably something like up to 900ml...but that's just a guess.

Any chance you can post a sticky poll on this subject to see if the membership here wants something other than the script I have already modeled? I think the clutch side is pretty cool as shown, but I could be alone on that one (per Danny's comments). I also think the 1/2 LITER 4 STROKE EATER is cool on the ignition side, but again, I am open for suggestions....for a while. Then, depending on timing, it will be go-time! LOL.

Jay: I won't need the money until we know we are committing to the run...so I guess it might be a little while until we see how many might actually wanna spend some cash.

I already have some billet covers, so I'm a maybe.
1/2 litre of 4 stroke eater is very tempting.

What's up with the Gen 3 two piece head stays???

ShanMan · Post by **ShanMan** » April 25th, 2008, 11:46 am

I am having a first article run of them (gen 1 and gen 3) done right now. Once I verify they fit right, I'll posts pics and prices.

OK dudes...I have a couple of sets of two-piece heads stays for gen. one and gen. three. I need a couple of volunteers to test-fit them for me so I know they are spot on before I do a big run. FYI: we went with aluminum, not steel.

Also, I will have the first article clutch and ignition covers done in two days. I may just send those to Bob for test fitment...

Getting closer!

I'm your gen 3 huckleberry. I have your one peice stay, so it would be interesting to see the difference.

dannygraves · Post by **dannygraves** » May 13th, 2008, 7:14 am

I can test the gen-1

oh, and put me down for a pair of covers... I'm short on $$$ right now, but I figure when they are ready, I will be cool.

ShanMan · Post by **ShanMan** » May 13th, 2008, 8:49 am

Mine too?

dannygraves · Post by **dannygraves** » May 15th, 2008, 4:28 pm

Since I'm pretty close, I will probably get it tomorrow, if so, it will get installed and tested this weekend.

Ported&Polished · Post by **Ported&Polished** » May 15th, 2008, 7:23 pm

Bob doesn't get one, he is Teem Mikes test bitch, DG and I are the official Shanman testers.

I'm closer than DG, so I will have mine sooner, and be testing it by noon.

ShanMan · Post by **ShanMan** » May 16th, 2008, 9:25 am

yeah, how quickly they turn....

clutch and ignition covers come off the machine tomorrow. Stay tuned...

Post by **AlisoBob** » May 16th, 2008, 12:11 pm

Now your talkin'

If enough members start building Gen 4's, want me to send you my headstays for reproduction?

dannygraves · Post by **dannygraves** » May 16th, 2008, 12:14 pm

problem with that is the lower mounts. everyone is going to run a slightly different angle. I'm going to try for level on mine.

Post by **AlisoBob** » May 16th, 2008, 12:19 pm

Shanman leaves the cyl head bolt hole undrilled, so every installation in match drilled to perfection...
