fist off is getting the ignition fixed the stock tci box is shot so i decided to change it back to a mechanical advance with electronic pickup. i'm also puting on a distributer cap wich i realy like. i did not buy the ebay plans for this they are a cobbled mess. intead i figured my own out. i took the stock points cover machined a distributer cap base ring and mounted it to it.

here is my clutch cover i modified so i can run a remote filter. the inlet plate is all stainless steel with stainless collar . and one plug in the clutch cover was pulled out so a aluminum collar could be welded to the case. both the inlet and out let are 1/4 npt .my buddy chris at hurricanemotorsport.com did all the welding. the case was a pain in the but to do i guess ,thanks chris!

Are your oils 1/4 inch, I am working out the same type of oil system. I plan on using 3/8 lines. Will flow more oil than 1/4 inch will. On these bikes flow rate is more important than pressure.

yea the oil lines i got now are 1/4 buit ive already pulled it all off. i'm going to a bigger braided line . the collars and fittings are 1/4 . the remote filter holder i made . it's just a peice of flat stainless that i drilled out a 3/4-16 bolt welded it in the center and welded two stainless collar on top. it looks and fits perfect there i also figured it would help cool the oil off some too . any body that is curious about the filter holder i got the idea from a back issue of the horse mag.

xsleo · Posted: June 7, 2009, 11:17 pm Post subject: Re: yamahog

I got the filter mount from Perma cool. $11 or $12. Cast aluminum.
I just drilled out the case where the oil pump delivers the oil to the filter, tapped them to 1/4 pipe thread. built some plugs to plug off the extra holes.
I just tapped into the filter cover for the return. That way I can still use the stock filter. Just in case the external filter bypasses the filter.
I think adding the external filter will help cool the engine. Having the extra oil capacity will help cooling as well as having more oil to keep things cool.
I thought I would hook in A temp gauge into the return line. I thought I would hook it in and run the engine with the oil just going out and back into the engine to get a base line on temp.
I would then hook in the oil filter and run it to see how much effect the filter has on temp. If I thought it needed it I could add a cooler after the filter.

How much did you stretch it?

Luke4554 · Posted: July 8, 2009, 10:40 am Post subject: Re: yamahog

was that a frame kit or did you guys make that? i like your low seat height but ive not found any weld on kits with it that low. any information would be sweet.
