Diff'rent Strokers

Hi all,
thought I'd put a few pictures up of my mito 350 project I'm ( slowly) building. It all started when I saw Dougs Yagiva and I thought that I'd have a go at making one like it.

I decided that instead of buying a dead mito and changing the engine over I would try and build one from a bare frame up. After buying the frame I then bought an 08 r6 swingarm, 09 zx10r wheels / calipers / handlebars , 04 zx10r wheels/discs and a 31k ypvs engine.

I had to modify the mounts so that the engine will clear the swingarm and I dropped the front mounts slightly so that it now clears the existing mounts on the frame. I also had to make the rear mount of billet as the right hand L shaped mount hit the swingarm after 1in of wheel travel.

I have made a set of yokes,engine /suspension mounts and I'm about 3/4s the way through the rear subframe.

I've still got to get a few bits to do on the chassis ( welding ) then hopefully its just a few little jobs left , the main one is make a sprocket carrier and sort the chain run. Then I can start rebuilding the engine.

Here's a few pictures of some of the bits I've made

Shock and rear subframe mounts



Engine mounts









Yokes









Lightly modified r6 Swingarm ( got to weld some plates back in )





An heres what the bike looks like in a rough build







I'm hoping to get the bike finished by may 2011 but this might be subject to change

you cant rush these things though mate,their worth the extra time i'm just waiting for the crank to arrive back at dans,then the engines back together still quite a few things to do to it though
