How thick are the spacers you need? I have some for the Aprillia wheels/disks . , they ere either 1.5 or 2 mm


And I guess if the are too thick you are just the man to skim them

Meet... The Hound of the Vanstuberville...

















Trust me it looks far worse in the flesh...

Bought of a cousin it's been standing for a few years...He took it to get a rear tyre put on & the bloke doing it was giving it the once over...Issues with the front wheel...He pulled it out to check, popped the seal out & all the ball bearings just fell out...

Steve says it runs alright but anything near 100 it just gets too much wind blast to hang on...

It's more of a lash up than a fighter...god damm alwful thing...but it gets him out of the house...

But I did get to thinking.
A dyno tune could cost a grand.
A dyno is repeatable load against driver? I "dunno"
Chain drive to a suitable brake. Load the brake until the bike in whatever gear is held to the rpm I'm struggling to (8000). Mess with tune, try again.

Have I simplified dyno's a bit far? Set of scales under the front wheel measuring the torque effect...o2 sensors in primaries?
The brake? 200hp car engine long block. Make appropriate mods to hold exhaust valves open. Exhaust brake for the price of a motor in the worlds used car dumping ground...I think I'll get change out of a grand. Mod a cush drive to accept another sprocket, chain drive to the motor/brakes crank. Maybe have to clutch the load in...
Motor/brake frame tied to swingarm. Use the sprockets and chains I got to connect the two

Feel free to tell me what I've missed. I dont believe it can potentially be this easy?
I did consider o2 meters on the dash and filming them but replicating the 8kwall on a try out we would probably end up exceeding the speed limit

She'll come around eventually, or take a tip from Fabio who just beats his into line.

Assuming you mean a grand NZ dyno fees are expensive for you. I got mine sorted for less than half that looking at the exchange rates.

tony.mon fitted two lambda sensors with dash mounted readout. Use the search, it's on here somewhere if tou want the info.
