Yamaha BITD sr1 class build

[sadisticiron]

i decided to move all the pics to this section now that theres a shop section

We are building the SxS from the ground up. We here at Sadistic Iron Werks have a slightly different approach to building a SxS. This one came to us as a bare frame. We removed almost everything mounted on the factory chassis, through it up on the jig, and extended it 13 inches.

check it out and let us know what ya think

Very nice, some of the best work I've seen!

 

[smiller]

Are the upper part of suspension arm mounts going to tie into the chassis some where?

 

[sadisticiron]

thanks BigGuy. we try our hardest to build for our customers what we would want.

the control arm mounts have slots cut into them so we can slide 3/16 plate into them to tie the sides of the mounts together. we are also gonna plate the back sides of the mounts to tie in the mounts to the frame rails

I definitely dig the whole structure, it looks very stout..

 

[skunx]

I also like the diamond drive sign haha

 

[tatum]

Very nice work but it looks heavy.

 

[sadisticiron]

thanks. i try

ya its a little heavier then a regular race sxs. the owner wants it slightly heavier so it forces the car into obsticles versus being a pinball. i had longevity in mind with the build and that TT using the sxs class as punting devices...lol

I like the spherical balls on the front suspension.What are you doing for spindles and shocks?

 

[sadisticiron]

ya i decided to run them on top and bottom on the arms instead of on the top arm and one the spindle.
shocks im runninng the fox 2.0x10 with resi's and spindles im making

 

[skunx]

did you have your spindle races machined yet, were having a batch made right now that are stock replacement with tapered bearings ..

 

[sadisticiron]

your gonna make them to use tapered style bearing instead of the stock sealed roller bearings. the only things i would wonder about is sealing the bearings from sand and dirt, also the problem with keeping the preload. the spindles am building are gonna be a direct replace spindle. so if a bearing went out or hub parts are an easy swap out.

Some purty lookin welds and fab there man. Nice job!

 

[sadisticiron]

thank you. building the exhaust now. had to change up the flanges needed them to be a little bigger
