Re: First bike, First project!
Sounds like a hell of a job? the cover looks a little ruff, are you going to paint the engine covers or polishing them?
did you use sandpaper on the engine, cyl, and head as well?
I gotta say, you got the force with you if you "handblasted" all the components 8)
anywho, the best is that you're happy with he result.
Lucky you, getting the frame done, every time i go into the garage i find something new to cut off or weld on but i think i'm getting it sandblasted by the end of next week.
and i decided not to go with powdercoat this time. i want to keep the possibilities open for painting it in any color if i come up with something cool for a paint theme.
have you ever heard of myrphys law? guess what happened last night,... i was out there and thought i'd check over my engine after i put it back together and would you know the fu.... would not shift gears. i had to take the whole reassembled engine back down to pieces. found NOTHING wrong. and now it shifts gears. guess something had to much tension or something. . i think i cried in my sleep.
Post more pics of engine and other progress, fun to look
