    This is amazing! A roll cage and some strengthening to the floor etc and this would be epic! Please keep it on the channel it's the best build to date

      they is a full roll cage already in the relient from factory just not scene do the the fibre body i agree a frame needs meakinga nd a metal floor adding as they is no strngth now to the stock floor even if it just a frame from left side of chassy to the right side to hold the seat and other bits that need bracing

      a roll cage is an essential item....I always remember as a kid on my BMX one Sunday playing in a tesco car park (the days when shops were closed) and these lads with a Robin were jazzing around the car park and of course they went and rolled it, and some 5 year old kid went up to them and told em "you crashed because you had a wheel missing mister!"

  • @leighmoss4693
    @leighmoss4693 4 місяці тому

    Once you get the gear lever mounted more securely and can get all gears id recommend getting a gear indicator so you know what gear your in.
    Listening to this makes me really miss my Westfield Megablade. It was so much fun on the road having 10k plus clutchless gear changes, flames out the exhaust.

    Motorbike gearboxes are so precise you don't need the clutch, to change up a gear just preload the gear lever and it will find the next gear itself as soon as you back off the throttle. to downshift, preload the lever and blip the throttle.

      In case you don't know most Kawasaki motorcycles have a positive neutral, if you put it in 1st gear and the prop shaft isn't turning it won't select 2nd it will only go into neutral.
      The prop shaft will have to be turning for it to go into 2nd.
      I thought i'd mention it in case you sort out the gear linkage and then spend ages trying to figure out why it won't go into 2nd gear when it's standing still.@@itsleelockwood
