Careful With That Axe Eugene
Nice!
LightsOut said:Hell yeah, that’s gonna look awesome! Really like the re-interpretation of the colored lines and the frankenhonda is a really nice touch I haven’t painted over decals myself, but I do believe you want to cover them in several layers of clear to ensure no edges are showing. Don’t skimp on the finishing now

Cheers Pete and thanks for the advice about the filler too, tomorrow I’ll drill it out and rivet the guard to the bracket it thinking mat blackPete12 said:Front mudguard mounts look great - no easy way on USD forks but you've accomplished it.
Very nice project! I'm afraid you will need to do a bit more work on your shift linkage though. The driving and driven links need to be much closer to being parallel to each other. (Red lines in pic) They do not have to be exactly parallel, but much closer than you have them. You can't adjust the driving link without cutting and welding or changing the pedal location, so you have to work around that. Ideally, the angle between the driving and driven crank arms and the connecting link would be 90o, but there is also a bit of leeway here and this likely will be ok. I realize that you have a very nice 90o angle between your crank arms and connecting link, but the 90o needs to be between the crank arms and a straight line between them. This is the theoretical or imaginary dark green line in my pic. Often as you know, this straight link is not possible to fit, but for design purposes, you must think about the link as if it were straight. No matter what the shape of the link (light green line), the function (discounting strength/flexibility issues born from the shape) is as if the link were straight. If you draw a straight line for the link on your existing setup (I didn't make a line for this), you will see that when you push down on the pedal, you won't be rotating the driven link very much. Easy fix though. Just rotate the driven crank to match the driving, and create a new connecting link. Making the bend in it as small as you can (orange line) will make it flex less. And once you are driving the bike, you will find making very small changes to the angles of the components can make a big difference in the shifting quality.cb250nproject said:[/IMG]
