Quote from: m in sc on August 31, 2026, 11:22:02 AMthere def needs to be a 400 crank reproduced.

I have emailed Vitos when I was building my motor, Vitos said they would like to make stuff for the 400s but they needed at least 500 units made which might be tough to sell.

Old setup weighs 13 pounds, so nice little 5-6 pound savings.
The funny part is the old stock rotor weighs 5.5 pounds

Not from Europe but paid a 15% tariff for my brake conversion parts from China. I whole lot less than what I paid last time I ordered CNC'd stuff.

The dividers are a cool idea.
I just got finished with a 2-1 for my VM30s, what type/brand of TPU do you use?

Quote from: m in sc on May 28, 2026, 04:44:45 PMi like the split chain adjuster.

looks good.

Thanks,
Made them 2 pieces so the right side adjuster can adapt the larger hole the original hanger sat through.

I finally got around to modeling up a rear brake conversion I've been planning for, an underslung brembo p34 with a 245mm disk, got everything mocked up and ready for machining after a couple more tweaks.

I just crudely painted a plastic fender for my bike so I dont know how well it would hold up but I just scuffed it up, put glazing putty on some spots, and sprayed it with some old black paint I had, still have some spots to sand.
As far as Krylon goes, I have Krylon's John Deer Yellow on my bike. Had some issues but I think that was just poor prep I just have it cleared with 2k and its holding up decent, really any spot falling apart is my fault.

Thanks for those dimensions, they ended up working for my hoop.
Been making progress slowly but got everything welded up that I needed and got most things powder coated. Today I got the motor back in.

My fork tubes ended up being slightly bent, I didnt take them apart previously because I was having trouble getting the damping rods out, ended up hammering one of those "universal" sockets down with a T-Handle to stop them from spinning.
While I had them out I installed MikesXS valves, new tubes, adjustable fork caps, and new seals and hardware.

Neat, I may just do something like that if I choose to use my stock battery box or at least the idea of having spots for plugs and a socket.

I made one that hangs over under the seat, needs some tweaks though.

I saw a battery this size at home depot, ill probably end up getting one if this one is working out good for you.
I only need a battery to trigger my ignition kill relay as I am using HPI ignition too.
