ok - so ive decided... too many projects not enough time the diesel bike has been on the back burner for well over 18 months now - not enough time / not enough space. more projects to build that im more into so want to put my money into them im asking only £695 for this frame was modified profession...

why not just a dieselbike.net logo? does it need to be a group or whatever?

i do still check on here - my project is on hold for a little while but will be back n track later this year id say something really simple - dont know what name but maybe along these lines?.. that way if you want stickers / patches making in the future it will be really cheap and simple i dont thin...

if you cut the frame it is classed as "radically altered" and you need to get the msva - thats kind of like an old engineers report but heading towards the german TUV a little bit if you can make the engine fit without altering the frame then its fine you really dont need to do anything mu...

uk build not even close to that easy - MSVA time if you build it yourself - more fees and more work and more stupid rules [ mine wil be MSVA'd and all that guff]

What about one of these? - http://www.tayna.co.uk/ODYSSEY-PC680-P3107.html There are other sizes too or else put a couple in parallel? Depends what sort of oomph the engine needs I guess. Not cheap tho admitedly. My last diesel car battery was only £50! Neil found them last night thanks for that - ...

here you go - all posted on here before but its been a long while since it got side lined so a brief catch up....

basically a hacked ural with a d950 mated in there

figured id throw this out over here too last year i organised a tipple run and it was a success so im doing another its a good old ride but we made it last year on all sorts of stuff heres the blurb: Thursday 10th - Sunday 13th September 2009 Tipple Run 2009 is in the planning stages and its looking...

after a LONG time in the corner of the garage gathering dust im back to the diesel bike i could do with a little help on something though - battery - the old one on the donor was a 12v 68ah. its bloody huge. any ideas if there is an alternative for something physically smaller? i was wanting to put ...

looks cool - and looks kinda familiar haha - im getting back onto working on mine in the next week or 2

what are your plans for a tank? all my ideas so far look kinda nasty

my build is on hold for the next few weeks [oraganising a bike-run at the end of the month and need to finish my drag bike etc...] but will be bak to it soon

ahh - a man after my heart - similar daft idea - sold the chassis and gubbins on and got a lot of my money back - made for a cheap donor motor

to be honest i cant remember - what i did was i went down to motorworks bmw in huddersfield, took them my ural piece, told them what i was doing and he sorted me out a some bits. i remember its not what i initially went thinking i needed - same thing but about half the price as model didnt matter to...

mine - fits 3 slabs of beer perfect [its all boxed in now]

been slow - just a load of other stuff on - you know how it is im sure tank cut and hacked and butchered - needs plating back in now but the general idea is there http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i153/banjodave/diesel%20bike/CIMG0003.jpg http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i153/banjodave/diesel%20bik...

not knocking your work at all [quite the opposite] but you should be able to mix veg oil to about 70%oil 30% diesel and still start and run well. unless you are doing a lot of really long runs then making effectively a pre-mix will save a lot of effort - i know id forget to switch over back to the d...

if i can get near 80mpg i will be very happy - that will more than half my fuel bill and then when i sort the veg oil / diesel mix it will half again with a bit of luck

thanks all

no but im interested in getting rid of the gurt big alternator..

not being arsy but - its not an unanswerable question if you are running that engine in a bike... which is what i was asking if someone wanted to build a shovelhead i can tell them roughly what mpg they will get by telling them what i get - im not talking accurate but ballpark figure, same goes for ...

yea - i know its not a good one to guess which i why i was hopeing someone had a completed d950 project and they could tell me what they were getting.that would give me a reasonably accurate guess. and yup - daily fill up is a chore but i did it on my chop for 6 months filling going in and out of lo...

just getting to sorting fuel tank out for the bike and am trying to find out what sort of mpg i will get out of a d950

i really want a small tank but need to get at least to work and back on a fill-up

any ideas?

im working on having the bike done and riding in its post sva but pre nice-ish looking stage - might be a bit close to the bone timewise but we will see...

i want to see more of that bike his friend is on with the massive rear wheel

basically - you get either brand new plate of this year if you have receipts and parts are all new. or a q if its modified other bike with old bits on it

having to have an msva test depends on a points scheme cant remember the numbers but each part has a point - engine, frame , wheels etc... frame is the big points bit if you alter the front loop of the frame then its a "radically altered vehicle" so msva is needed if you want to be legal e...

tacked up but basically there. now just got to wrap a bike round it...

yep - i saw your ali version - i cant weld aluminium though so steel it is...

using 6mm plate and doing the same - getting it machined parallel after fabrication.

i guess it depends on the extent of your mods. mine is clearly modified. but they know that mr yamkawazuki didnt make a diesel bike so will be alerted to the possibility surely. if its just a couple of engine plates and it looks stock you might get away with it im not trying to tell anyone they have...
