Well, it was actually fairly pretty outside yesterday so I decided to untarp the dragger again and get to work...
The first order of business: the brakes.
The box o' junk came in from yamaha28 and was just what the doctor ordered. I only needed the "lock ring" part of the mechanical caliper assembly for mine to work so I salvaged that out of the siezed caliper and assembled mine.
I took two stock "right side" (brake side) foot pegs and cut the pegs off. I then flipped one around and cut the back end (the part the kicker hits) down just a bit and then rewelded the pegs back onto the plates farther back and "leaned" forward so they'll "bite" my boots better for the drags.
I also cut the pipe down near the cylinder and rotated it downwards some. Because I built the pipe before I actually had any part of the quad together, I built it pointing up some to avoid being near the tire or out the side too far. Unfortunately, that meant that the bracket for the pipe was sticking way up in the air and was quite fragile. I wasn't REALLY happy with that arrangement and intended to change it. Yesterday just happened to be the day. With the pipe cut and rotated down, the bracket should only be about as tall as the pipe and mount to the new left foot peg well...
Pictures tonight!
