Millyard RC374 Honda six replica - Episode 6

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this video I am getting the RC374 ready for a track demo (short carpark track) at the Sammy miller motorcycle museum in the New Forrest UK. I remove the fairing to clean the clutch plates and show how I made the aluminium and Titanium fairing screws and a little look around behind the fairing. There is a short running clip at the end in first gear but hopefully its gives an idea of its sound Thanks to Tracey, and Matt (www.altomedia.co.uk) for the riding clips.

    Ironically that was a pretty easy task to make that screw. All you need is a lathe, vise, hacksaw and a buffing wheel and a few months of machine shop classes. BTW aluminum being a soft metal is a joy to work with the titanium maybe more a challenge.
