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 |
