XJ750 SECA Custom

Posting this here to keep it documented somewhere else other than my phone. Also for any questions in the future. Thanks!

 

Have a lot more pics if anyone is interested. Will update as milestones are completed

 

FZ1 Rear caliper bracket and custom bushing

 

Impressive and extensive project. Would be very nice with a writeup!

 

Thank you very much! Been on this project on and off 2 years and just a few months ago finally got to a point in my life where im finally able to work on it regularly. Hoping progress will remain consistent as it has.

 

Yes, very creative engineering/solutions!

 

very interesting. what rear swing arm did you use for the swap.

A write up would be great and please include some of your findings. like the custom bushing and if there were issues with center aligning the rear wheel or did you kept the offset.

 

Swingarm looks like Virago 750/920, possibly XZ550.

 

Lower portion of the swingarm is off of a 82' XJ750 Maxim, Final drive for the upper shock hoop mount point is off 83 XV750. Upper portion of arm was from XV750 arm as well. Rear wheel is 95' XJ900s Diversion

 

I will see if I can find and link the freeCAD file of the bushing here. As for the offset, I plan to keep/ work around. Appears to be minimal

 

Could someone let me know if this file works? thanks

Download worked for me. Zip file w/ 3 files in it. I don't have anything on this machine to open said files, but they're there (.stl, .step, .FCStd1). Wait, STD 1? Did I just give my computer a social disease?

 

Don’t worry. It will clear up on its own in a few weeks

 

Thanks for checking for me lol. New to this.

Tires got ordered on my lunch break. Continental Sport touring 120/70/17, 160/60/17. $184 shipped from JPCycles. Once tires are mounted to get correct ride height, I can begin tacking up the monoshock.

 

Universal rear sets have been ordered, last piece needed to finish the major frame modifications and finally have a roller again.

 

Very interested to see how this turns out and your work on the monoshock. The combination of different swingarm parts is pretty smart. I am curious how you are going to figure out the best angle for shock travel. it might be easy and straightforward, I have never done it so I am curious.

 

The variables needed to find that angle come from finding the Wheel rate, and spring rate.

 

Tires came in last night and my goodness nothing like some fresh meats! Got home late, was able to get the wheels off. Though they may have to wait till the weekend because I’ve been without my car for a few days, Clutch master Cylinder leaking. Why is it every time life is going well, your vehicle decides to speak up

 

I love the smell of new tires in the morning.
