Matt....how far do you think you raised your transfer port roofs....was it hard to keep the same angle that was presently there and how close to going through to the water side were you. i know you used a 90 degree attachment to get to them but did you also use a flex shaft. that is the only part i have left to do.....i cleaned them up a bit but being that i was restricted by the dremel tool i couldnt do much to the roofs of the ports. also...how would a handwarmer sieze a cylinder?? thanks for your posts on this subject here and on pwctoday....you were my inspiration man!!! :biggthumpup:

I didn't raise my roofs...simply matched them. I am not sure how close I came to the waterjacket - I didn't go nuts, and so far it's holding together.

As far as the handwarmer....I got in a hurry and didn't go look for a tee like I should have. So, my cooling outlet for the engine became very restricted, because the only outlet was my handlebars (not much flow at all)

That's just like running no cooling at all.:bigeyes:

This is a great thread!! Props to you for putting it all on here . . .

I love it!:biggrin:

matt i have ultimale solution for your handpole warmer issues

come and live in the gold coast

great work guys

 

[Matt_E]

An more immediate solution would be to take my time and not rush. Biggest quality killer ever.

This is a great thread man. I found it searching for a place to ask a question and this looks like the place.

I tore apart my motor today to deal with my epoxy leak. I have a guy that can weld aluminum. Is this my best option?

Or should I grind the old out and put in JBweld or Devcon alumaweld if I can find it?

This is the first time I've ripped it this far down and I was PLEASANTLY SURPRISED to see the monster air in! That explains why it rips so good with my speedwerx dry.

I posted a pic of stock verses mine.

Nice....those are pretty wide, should feed good air to the transfers.
I will post some case porting info soon. I am almost done moving.

Here are current pics of my cylinder. Exhausts widened, and bottoms modified. Oh yeah, those ports are not chamfered yet. I haven't touched the cylinder since picking it up from boring, and then I moved.

here's your handwarmer solution....

 

[wildman326]

This year I ran hand warmers and foot warmers. The hand warmers came off the head and the foot warmers came off of the pipe. WOW:bigeyes: Don't run anything that will touch flesh off of the pipe. Anytime I gave it any power it was too much heat. It's warm enough now that I only have the foot warmers (off the head) and they are perfect. Feet never get cold.

BTW I'd run the T so that it splits the line evenly or you might get mor water to one side. Just my 2 cents.

here's your handwarmer solution....

UHHHH... you live in Florida there Scotty... :haha:

UHHHH... you live in Florida there Scotty... :haha:

**** man, im STILL using a warmer on my roundie as of yesterday!!!!



(and yes, the T has been fixed...)

 

[Matt_E]

The handwarmer problem boiled down to lack of flow - it kept the grips warm just fine, but not nearly enough flow for the engine.

exactly, use a single tube like I have in the pic above and just aim it so the water shoots whereever you want.....if anything, the water out of my cyl head is TOO COOL

 

[wildman326]

What do you mean? Lack of flow?

 

[Matt_E]

The only cooling water outlet on my engine was the single head outlet. It went straight into the line to feed my bars - fitting threaded into the bars. My bars have ODI plugs on the end. I had some small holes drilled into the grip areas for outlets. Those were the only outlets.
See the flow problem now? I simply didn't think of it at the time, as I was more worried about getting out there & ride.

 

[wildman326]

YEAH. I see the problem.

Many times in my life the desire to ride overpowered common sense or anything else. Sometimes it was OK and sometimes I blew a motor.
