Hahaha I really do like the YEL fenders better now that I installed the WHT ones..... but for a while I will leave the WHT in place.
Here she is less a couple of loose ends. I will post the final product soon, all she needs is a little footpeg metal work and the brakes bled.
Very nice! I have an 86 510 and just bought an '07 610. Also had an '01 410 that your engine cases reminded me of. Very nice build! Forgive my ignorance, what is the mag cover with the water ports covering? Doesn't look like any cases I have (had)
That is the factory CH Racing magnesium airflow cover to keep the ignition cooler and for drying air. The windage from the spinning rotor/flywheel moves air in and out the 2 tubes (1 in 1 out) . You will spot those covers on the team race bikes from the period. The hoses simply are open behind the cylinder in that warm dry area under the carb.
I installed prefab 90 degree hoses like the race teams did. I even remember that Trolli told me to drill a decent sized hole in the bottom of the OEM cover to get moisture out, but with this CH Racing (Azzalin) set up it avoids that issue with these machines. If you look at Anders Ericksson's machines you will see this type cover on them. Also note I have put my hand and a piece of rag near the tube ends and the air really does move quite a bit more than I imagined. You can see the position of the tubes is in a cyclonic position . I did always wondered if the race bikes even had some additional "wings" mounted/welded to the flywheel.
