  • Hey guys! This engine build is coming along really well. I'm really happy with the red and black powder coating. I made the prepreg carbon fiber covers myself. The whole process took a long time but I'm really pleased how with the final result. Can't wait to finally fire up the engine once I've fitted the weber carburettors. Make sure to keep an eye out for that video in future. Thanks for watching!

    I have to say this is a really detailed vid on some of the more awkward jobs ,just doing 😊heads on my goldwing and was scratching my head on some of the manuals instructions

    Amazing work! The first (and only) question that occurs to me is whether the hot oil, not only because of its temperature but also because of its solvent characteristics, does not attack the resin of the cured part! Or do you use some special resin such as vinyl ester or bisphenolic? Thank you so much for sharing these artworks with us!

      Yea, I saw that too and said NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO F'n Way ...... but some parts ya have to even from factory they do it. But the query lingers.........I figured bisphenolic, but with the no reply I am wondering. Gas does get into the oil and gas eats most RTV Sealants. And we won't even bother asking what the acids do to it.

      @@zrcarbon9937 it'll be on my Instagram when I start it. I'm literally so close to finishing up a money project then that's out of the workshop and I can start my next build. Have you managed to source some inlet manifold tubes for the carbs you've got up on Instagram? I'm buying the same set but haven't found that bit yet.

      Cool man!
      You can find the headers on Randakk’s website but they are pretty pricey or you can weld them up. I’ll be making my own header. Getting a milling machine soon. It will be made out of carbon fiber and aluminium. I’m so excited 😆
      I can sell you a set when it’s done 😉

    I cleaned up and reused the original covers, budget constraints, carbon fibre looks awesome but polished alloy is pretty good.

    You need to hold the adjuster screw in position with screwdriver while you loosen or tighten the lock nut. Be much easier than what you were doing 🙂

      Hey man. Thanks!
      No plans for that with this bike. I’m trying to build a muscle bike/race bike “cafe racer” style. Trying to make it look like light as possible but bulky looking.
      But in the future maybe I’ll build a 1:1 carbon fiber goldwing. We’ll see 🙂

    Hello, I forgot to put the o-ring (6:30) in my build, can you tell me what problem this will give?
    Will I have one oil leak after a while?
    Amazing build you are making !!

    • @zrcarbon9937
      @zrcarbon9937  3 года назад +2

      Hey!
      Did you forget both rings?
      I’ve never tried to run the bike without the orifice ring, so I can’t say what might happen.
      I would redo it before you start it up for the first time.
      Don’t worry, mistakes happen for us to learn in the future.
      Thanks for the compliment. Good luck!
