Hi Matt, that thrustring from hell will function well to keep your shaft properly located. Do you also consider making oval grooves in it for lubrication like the original mini idler gear shim has?

yeah im going to file some grooves into the thrust face, but i need to face it again once its been soldered in. im still working out how to sort the thrust in the opposite direction. but i can't see it being too much of an issue. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

Bush with larger face? Only horrible to have it sorted out with a proper play. I guess you don't want to have a pile of shims between the bushes and have it all torqued up to 150 Nm-ish. squeeezzzzzz... |

Progress has been slow (lack of time), but during my lunch hour I have managed to get a few things done. The selector drum now fits in and the forks are finished, I now have the position of where to drill, so its back on the mill for some drilling! 
I have also started blending the 'added plates' into the box, and smoothing out the casting masks inside and outside of the box. pics...

Lots of nice work going on with yours though, havent seen it since MITP 2010?! you got access to some nice machines with the new job?!? i say new, probably been there a while now? I haven't fixed them in place yet. But i generally sandblast the silver solder away so you're only left with a small fillet. The smoothing of the box, is partly tidy it up but mainly to stress releive it by removing any sharp edges. The last thing I'd want is for it to crack along one of the casting marks. 
Im not 100% on the shifter mech, but I think I can get the VFR one to work. I'll know once I get the holes drilled and everything lined up in its correct place.

HI Matt, I'm curious how you finally fixed the dowels top the forks, as I can't see any sign of soldering. Or was that "evidence" polished away? And why the smoothingof the internal side of the box: will you finally polish it for good show? 
Good luck with last drilling. Curious what gear shift spindle system you will use. Mine will be a blend of VFR800 and home-brew connection to a star of the kawa z900 regards, Bart https://www.facebook.com/pages/Fusion-Fabri..._homepage_panel

Urm a slight update... The bearing retainer is all finished now, the selector drum machined down, and the holes drilled in the box for the selector shaft. My gear for reverse has also arrived but there's a slight problem with that! Lol

good stuff! I am worried that lower bearing will suffer from contaminated oil, as there is no good drains down low for the oil that comes down from the outside of the main bearing and that area anymore. will oil with crap in it be left laying there? |

That bearing retainer has given me the horn. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Well it's been a while, but I've been tickling away on this during my lunch breaks at work. It's nearly all in, just waiting for a few bearings to turn up, then i can position the shift each, and sort reverse out.
