Very well, thanks. Should have something together for an initial test in the next couple of weeks.
I'm working with Mike from Nestcraft Studio (http://www.nestcraftstudio.com/) to have some hand-made wooden speedometer enclosures made up. We're going high end on this one.
This project is great! The work on this (and what little I can see of Isobel) is phenomenal, you've got a real eye for detail. I have to break it to you though, but 90% of the pics on the Isobel don't work any more.
Well done learning to weld - it looks really neat too! Are you going to learn leading sometime too?
Yep, going to get into some brazing for the oil tank... read on...
So... plans have been approved for the extension, so bike will be slowing down even more, if that's possible. But did manage to get a few things done in the meantime:
But I think I'll have to put it all away now until the renos are done... vaguely attempting to get the oil tank done before then though, but I might be being a bit hopeful...
I mean, this probably didn't have anyone's ashes in it at any stage.. right?
Thanks for the kind words guys. I've managed to get a few more bits done, nothing major, but I've got the urn... I mean oil tank... pretty much together. I just have to solder it all up, we'll see how that goes when the flux arrives...
Thought I'd pop the front wheel on just to see how it's shaping up too (because everyone needs the front of a motorcycle in their office)...
I love it, I'm working on a 750k4 this bike and your last one is making me want to scrap it and go a whole other direction. Grrr maybe my next one, wanted to ask what tires are those I've been looking for good white walls
Tyres are Shinko E270s. Not sure what they're actually like to ride on yet, but then see above... I'm not dragging any knees around any corners in the near future...
Yep, good luck with whitewalls then! From memory getting anything for stock rims for these was a real problem so a lot of my rim choices were so I could use whitewalls... that's totally fine, right?
....Soooo.... while the house is being built we're living with the in-laws, and wouldn't you know it, the father-in-law has a a bit of wood-working gear! So I'm taking the opportunity to get a few wooden bits done while we're here (stuck with crappy iPhone photography though):
