Overall installation of the MRE (Murdoch Racing Enterprises) Junior, electric over air,
air shifter on a stock frame 84 V-65 Magna. Instead of the MRE air bottle, as it was short
and stubby, I used an NOS Sneaky Pete NO2 bottle to hold the air (N2). |
.
This was the hardest part of the whole installation as a lever had to be fabricated on the
shift linkage and the air cylinder had to be perpindicular to the lever. In addition the
air cylinder had to be free to pivit on its mounting bolt. Had to fabricate small bracket
to weld the grade 8 bolt to that was strong enough to absorb the force of the shifting. |
Identify the small mystery valve under the air solenoid and to the rear of the clutch
slave cyl. If you ar a real drag bike racer you will know what it is for.

Air solenoid valve mounting bracket was fabricated from 1/8" plate (to minimize
vibration) and mounted to the frame using the existing bolts. The 3 air lines are as
follows: the vertical line coming from the front of the bike is the air supply, the
vertical line going to the rear of the bike is the vent/exhaust line, the vertical line
running down goes to the air shift cylinder, and the horizontal line going to the rear of
the bike goes to the engine kill switch. Yea, yea, yea it does work!! |
