LIQUIFIRE II
Re: LIQUIFRE II
I love it Joe! excellent work!
I get frustrated working on the factory stuff. Kudos to you for keeping your head down, and pushing through! The build quality is exquisite, and I cant wait for the final product! -Clint

Re: LIQUIFRE II
Tom .......plan is to bring it. I would like to reiterate that I have not run this thing yet and have a couple of
major concerns as to if it will all work. So I am not making any promises. Jon and Ed thanks for the nice compliments
and look forward to seeing all of you guys at the Ride.

Re: LIQUIFRE II
Clint thanks for the compliment and I know factory straight builds can be a pain like you said.
I got burned last night and am paying for it now. I was finalizing the clutch alignment and was not able to get the correct X-Y factory alignment
twist to the primary clutch. Screwed around for hours and it finally came down to tearing out the motor to machine more clearance in the motor mount slots. I was able to align them properly before the final weld of the frame. Slight movement from the heat? Who knows? It always goes together quicker the second time ............

Re: LIQUIFRE II
Routing of the oil lines etc was a pretty big job itself. I made this shroud to protect the K&N filters and help hold lines in place.
