Oil Cooling Experiment

It’s been a lot of work for something I’m not completely sure will function. The valve cover is designed to capture the oil as it enters the top of the engine head and routes it through the radiator before returning it to the head - I think. We’ll see this week. More photos to come.

UPDATE: I’ve given up on this idea - it’s not working the way I imagined (probably because it’s strictly air cooled). Great milling exercise though.

New parts back from the water jet cutter

Sprocket-side bearing carrier machined and assembled. Waiting on performance engine parts for the next phase. I’m liking how this is coming together.

Suspension seat prototype finished.

Works well smoothing out the ratty streets.

Getting race ready. New seat design and forks to change.

Five Hour Ride

Longest ride yet - an engine & drivetrain testing, somewhat grueling, five hour ride from Saint Helena to Bolinas, California.

Unexpected time for more prototyping

New transmission prototype … one more bearing carrier assembly to go.
