Currently have the almond gold, with 10 mb Polaris weights. 48 grams. Too heavy I suspect? Is 8300 correct? Also, I have the 81 ltd. The entrance for the radiator is on the right front. It's a ways from the windshield area. Didn't think that it was super necessary. What should the engine temp be? I put a more accurate mechanical gauge on, and may tap into the cooling system with the mychron tach also. Currently have 21/39 1.86 for ironwood, maybe dropping a tooth on top will work. Eagle River speeds are substantially less than other tracks, due to the tight corners. So the 20 top gear may better suit that track. I built camber into both spreaders, and welded a cross tie bar underneath the motor. The bulkhead seemed pretty flimsy. 38mm carbs 2.5 slides 35 pilots, 300 mains. There is no way that airbox is going back in there. I tossed the goofy bent steering shaft and built a 1 inch chromoly straight shaft. I do own a lathe, so I built all new steering shafts out of 3/4 aluminium solid rod. I reamed out the stock steering bushings to 1 inch id. I used a Polaris TX jackshaft and turned down a older cat brake rotor to fit. Which leads to my biggest worry which is the jackshaft pillow block. The LTD uses a goofy metric jackshaft, and bearing. I was having a hard time finding a 6205rs-1 bearing to use the 1 inch od jackshaft. I ended up using an invader pillow block which uses a more common 52mm by 1 inch id radiused bearing. The block is a lot less sturdy looking. Are they failure prone? I had to shim the chain case quite a bit to align the shafts, what a pain. The pivoting chaincase, and adjustable pillow block made everything very time consuming. Again, I am not familiar with Kawi's, so any help is greatly appreciated..
