WOW. cant believe I said "just a little bit of paint prep". I decided to spend copious amounts of time getting the absolute best results I can with my "first ever paint job" skill level. there were a couple of small dents that I managed to mostly massage out then stripped back to bare metal and...

the rest of the 100 freshen up was OK. just some gunk in the case ect. everything spins free enough without too much excess play. time will tell how it runs and lasts. I did the bare minimum to this eng to get it running as I have an SL125 motor I picked up cheap that i will "hot up" a bit and...

WOW. I cant believe I haven't posted sense June. my car (1977 valiant) failed rego so the Honda got put away and I started cutting out rust plus had to pull the engine out to fix an oil leak. (wont go back to that inspection guy again hehehe) well anyway. I have managed to get a little bit done...

The paint is single stage 2pak. I'm not a painter so don't no much more than that. I just went to a good car paint supply store and had a chat. They sold me products that would work together. I'm really happy with the results strait off the gun. As for the bushes. I purchased a length of...

Wheels painted, everything reassembled. Really happy with how it's going. Now it looks like a bike again at least. Lots of fiddley stuff now. Like making and mounting the electronics tray in the rear cowl and wire her up but time will be hard to come by with a sick misses and a busy time at...

Finished result. I'm stoked with them. Everything seems to work really well. Time will tell how they perform and last.

i had to take the brackets off to get the lower engine bolt through so i grabed some photos while i was at it. iv ordered the tyres so started painting the wheels. i have two sets, so i got the pair with rubbish chrome blasted and will 2pak black them. i can still bolt on the chrome set to see...

some pics of my rear sets. still need to make the spacers to move the pegs out a bit further.

I made the brackets from 6mm Alloy plate. I am mounting them on the centre stand pivot and the old foot brake pivot. they have a gusset type spine welded down the back for strength. ill try to get some better pics tonight. the left side is a slightly different shape to clear the chain and the...

yere it's getting there. Some weeks I only get 1hr for the bike. Others I'll put in 20hrs. the pic of a pile of part sitting on the eski shows the stuff I had powder coated. I also got a pair of wheels blasted but I will 2 pack them. I'm test fitting my second set of wheels to check...

Ok So I'm intreeged Very keen to see what they look like when complete. Mine are almost complete but won't be able to post pics for a bit. Until I reassemble the jigsaw puzzle.

Gluing the foam to the seat pan. I'm using closed cell foam 25mm thick. In layers glued together with spray adhesive. Little hint. It's a yoga mat. There cheaper than actual seat foam but exactly the same product. Most of the roughing out will be with flap disc on grinder the. Hand sand the...

these are my plans. will probably use Alloy instead of steal as stated earlier.

alright, i had a full day to myself so i cleaned up the cowl and seat pan. buttoned everything up, got the bike out in the open, stood back and it was wrong. the mug guard resess wasnt right. somehow it was off centre. and if a jobs worth doing, its worth doing twice. if you have never used...

has anyone on this thread finished there rear sets or did we all give up :) im working on mine now. im using the centre stand pivot and the old foot brake pivot as my two mounting points. I will also have a secondary pivot to to change the direction increase sweep for rear brake activation...

Ok so Iv been a slowly plugging away at the tail section. Iv fabbed and install brackets inside the rear cowl, built the bottom panel with built in mud guard and enough to clearence for a full bump bottom out. Quite happy with how it looks ATM although a flat underside would have looked better...
