#72532 Mr. Breeze (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 217 Re:Manifold porting garage day 4 Years, 1 Month ago   Gram, I am going to be using a drill press to port my manifold next weekend. I would appreciate any tips, pointers, advise etc.. that you can give. I don't have a spare manifold, so I need to get it right the first time. PM or post.....

Admin Posts: 4326 Re:Manifold porting garage day 4 Years, 1 Month ago   Hey Mr Breeze, I will post a little later with some detail, the process I use lends itself to getting an extraordinary manifold without having tons of experience. The more experience you have the better it gets. I was holding out for folks who wanted to start porting manifolds on a regular basis due to the tool up costs, but since you have a drill press might as well proceed. Long story short (details to follow) you are going to need sanding dremels, drill bit extensions, and a good globular hone. I have a few leftover manifolds if you screw it up. What year is your bike?

As I told you in an earlier post, I venture to Ontario for business, so maybe I can make it to the 'Garage Day' if I have enough notice. Who knows, maybe I will want to set up shop! I would appreciate any details you can send my way. I plan on doing mine next weekend.

A frined of mine is a mobile motorcycle tech. He has rebuilt 30+ Roadstars (due to trans recall). I might be able to talk him into setting up shop if he sees the procedure. I live just outside Palm Springs so Corona is not to far a ride...I'll try to contact him today. and let you know.   Logged     Charlie Horse It only hurts when I laugh!!!   The administrator has disabled public write access. #72611 Cougar (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 3210 Re:Manifold porting garage day 4 Years, 1 Month ago   Hey Gram ....I would like to see the press version as well.I have a drill press and if I can improve the way I ported my Manifold I would welcome the info ....Coug   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #72616 Gram (Admin) Been there, wrecked that. Admin Posts: 4326 Re:Manifold porting garage day 4 Years, 1 Month ago   Mr B, Charlie Horse, Coug, I am on a killer project right now that is saturating all my time ( 7 x 12). The project is slated for launch on Monday night, but that may slip a day or two. As soon as it is done I will get some pics put together of the tooling, then see what I can do with a steps list. Maybe knock one out to take some progress pics of.
