My Greazy Project Ultra RMK

[Fosgate]

It followed m home about a month ago. Friend called up and said a mutual distant friend has a greasy triple he wanted to sell and has a long track upgrade to a 155 for it. Sweet! I've wanted a greazy triple for some time now. Sent me photos and thought I could fix her. She runs and drives. She was in need of some TLC but just put the majors finishes on it tonight and expecting to wrap it up in the next few days with just a few odds and ends. Prior owner stuck a set of Walker Evans off a 22 Matrix under it and was also going to shove a matrix tunnel, rail, track and marry that somehow into the drive system. I drove it, checked it out and thought sure I'll go through her and do a few things to spruce her up a bit. Make the wife a good first sled and if she won't ride it I will. Great to bomb the trails on one around home instead of the 165 boost. So I hauled her home and went to work on her.

Looks like someone shot the ski, It was cupped so bad I had to cut it off with a grinder.

 

[Fosgate]

Replaced the skis with a set of Grippers for $200 and a free set of absorbers from a friend.

Seat was in pretty good shape but needed a new cover. The XLT seat was swapped for the original at some point. Foam was in really great shape.

Finish on the hood was finished.

She was rough under the hood.

Holes melted in the belly pan

Along with a big dent in the belly pan

Mystery clutch weights.



Corrosion in the helix

Probably freshen up the springs





Da FAQ? I wound up having to use it despite buying a brand new primary bolt. But the Proper bolt was too large circumference and too long so I put the old one back in. Must have gone through a crank before or something.

First, yank the pipes out of the way and get them hanging for refinishing.

Put the decal eraser wheel to the hood, then sand and repaint the hood.

Put about a gallon of simple green in the fuel tank overnight and then took it to the car wash.

Used a soldering iron and plastic bond epoxy to seal then sand the repair down to repair the tank. Then made sure I got all the water out, pulled and inspected the feed line and resealed the connection. Added a splash of heet to hunt down any that I may have missed.

Now to fix the holes in the bulkhead, clean and reline the belly pan. Went through 3 cans of degreaser and could still use 5 or 6 more.

First I need a volunteer to donate the plastic.

 

[Fosgate]

Straighten the dent out with a new interior nose center support for the belly pan and the lower plate.

 

[Fosgate]

Put in a new jackshaft after I broke off the secondary clutch bolt.

 

[Fosgate]

Found identical primary spring that was new from SLP for the primary and could not find a new secondary from SLP's Setup recommendation for their Triple exhaust setup. I did manage to find a Polaris Blue that was the second option from SLP but it was also discontinued. Also cleaned up the helix and put new buttons in. Everything else with the clutches seemed solid but I went over the faces with a scouring pad on a cordless drill to clean the clutch faces.

 

[Fosgate]

Looks good enough
