I think you might be right on on having to machine/ream bearing housings after fabrication.
I thought that dram looked like the spondon on. Those rotaries were awesome bikes.
Do you manage to make all the billet bits from 7020 too? It just seems so hard to get hold of.
How did you go from fabricating bike frames to all this cnc machining? Amazing stuff though and hopefully Mk motorsport will be a success for you.
was it kieth you spoke to at kenny roberts,its not that difficult to get hold of ,aswell as making frames i cnced all the frames gussetts and yokes rear sets etc,then worked at castrol honda making parts for the sp1 race bikes and super sport bikes ,thanks for that i hope it is
