So progress has been slow these days with fabrication of small but important parts. I’ve been working on steering linkages, mounting brackets, and the brake and shifting mechanisms. I’m very happy with the steering and handlebar arrangement that was inspired by project 100, but my shifting and brake pushrod system needs a complete re-design. ¼” rods where readily available, so I used them against my better judgment, resulting in excessive amounts of flex. I will be going up to 3/8 and doing some re-work to gain more mechanical advantage over the brake cylinder and shifter.
One of my main concerns so far is my speedometer cable. If looks to be about 18 inches too short. It has a square male end on it that screws into the back of the cluster. Does anyone know if Kawasaki uses this cable as a standard between all of their models? I might be able to find a longer one if this is true. Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
Yes the right handlebar is bent, this bike had seen some crashes...
