24mm mikuni meets tomos or a glimpse at a silly future.

 Since I have a proper space to work on bikes now I have been getting a decent amount done. Most nights I work until 3 or so its hard to wrench outside but now ive been  working in the new battle station on the race tomos. I have a brand new set of pirelli 16x2.75 tires for it. I put them on the poorly painted mags and damn they look good. the picture doesnt  really do it justice. I raced the 2.5 versions of these tires on the C-Word. I love the way the grip. They are super sticky and made in brazil.

the Tomos weakends intake i decided to use after all. I did have to do some modifying to it ti get the 24 m mikuni round slide to fit. I know this intake is made for a 20 mikuni bolt on but the I.D. is supposed to be 24mm. I bolted it up and started filing 

I had this stupid cut up honda seat that was on this frame before I destroyed its last engine. The pad and cover were crap and plus it said HONDA on the back and no self respecting TOMOS rider would allow that.  I pulled the cover off and will put a bit of foam on it and some vinyl or maybe tape depending on how lazy i am about it. 

I am really happy with where everything lined up. Ive got a puch 50 cc head that had been milled down to be a hi comp head. I have an A55 head that is huge but it takes different plugs than all my other bikes so i am using this. I am not really worried about this thing over heating. Im gonna be dumping so much gas through it that its gonna stay nice and cool due to the fact that its blasting so damn fast

Heres a dark blurry 6 am picture of about how its gonna look. I think I am going to cut the seat down about two inches. Im just going to have it welded on because there is no need for it to ever com off really. I might add a cross bar. I did really like having it to lean on in the corners on the C-word. It helped me get into those turns real low and stay on the damn bike. Ive gotta go get some head set bearings from the bicycle store to put the forks on then I can bolt the forks and wheels on and  start tuning. 

I got some mags for SI YOU SOON, I decided if I wanted serious torque  off the line 14 inch mags would be a good idea. its going to be tiny and fast. im gonna try and get Jesse from the Cutters and P-town scooters to make me an intake so I can use the 24 flatslide i have for it because once I get the seals for the forks I can throw the whole thing together and figure out the brakes. I still need to piece together or buy a rear clutch and a belt and Polini variator. I can always do some work and get it running single speed so I can try and get the motor broken in before taking it out on the track. Im pretty excited to see what this motor is going to do. I have yet to see its full potential from the short amount of riding I have done on it so far.

Trusty tri purpose toaster oven. It wouldnt be a shop without it. it heats bearings and cases cooks food and warms the area around the bench its a wonderful thing.
