Tank filled and in primer Sent from my FRD-L09 using Tapatalk

So this evening I made a start on stripping back on of my fuel tanks ready for a coat of epoxy primer. The paint stripper here in the UK is shocking, due the EU regulations they took the good stuff out of it, so it would barely touch emulsion paint let along 2k clear. After adding some of the...

Today I got my new forks fitted and my clipons arrived in the post so i got them fitted on too, it's starting to come together i just need a front brake lever and a fresh headlight and the front ends pretty much done Sent from my FRD-L09 using Tapatalk

Modified frame as it currently stands after a bit of tidying up of the welds, Its off to be shot blasted tomorrow! I also had some near new front shocks delivered today so will start rebuilding the front end shortly. More to follow soon! Sent from my FRD-L09 using Tapatalk

Good idea, Once the bike it put back together I'm going to have another play with the paint scheme and will post up some options Sent from my FRD-L09 using Tapatalk

So I picked up my frame early this morning from the fab shop, really glad I paid to have this welded professionally, so much better than I could have done in the shed! Sent from my FRD-L09 using Tapatalk

So my frame is off at the fab shop being welded up, so whilst I wait for the frame to come back and a stream of parts to arrive I have been playing around in Photoshop, I'm thinking of a very simple colour scheme like this, what do you guys think? Sent from my FRD-L09 using Tapatalk

So I've got the lower legs tacked on today, and it's starting to take shape! Sent from my FRD-L09 using Tapatalk

Haha - did I mention I might need some more practice too? Sent from my FRD-L09 using Tapatalk

I jigged up the lower mounts last night And notched the lower stainless legs, which was really very easy - not sure what I was worried about now! Sent from my FRD-L09 using Tapatalk

I'm looking at upgrading to a portamig 165 with a spot timer, which makes getting tig like MIG welds a hell of a lot easier. Just changing to a decent gas fed MIG will make a world of difference, the 105 is set up for flux core at the moment. Sent from my FRD-L09 using Tapatalk

My MIG isnt man enough to get good penetration on the tube and stock I'm welding, well not enough to rest my life on it! it's only used for sheet metal and tacking really, I need to buy a new machine, and put the little sip105 in the scrap pile. I want it tigged for strength but I'm also a...

Things are starting to move forward now! This afternoon I've tacked on the upper brackets and tacked the upper subframe, once I'm content I'll take it down to the local fab shop and get it tigged up. Sent from my FRD-L09 using Tapatalk

Instead I've gone a bit more traditional and semi eye balled it with a notching template that you can find online. I also used a jubilee clip to get some straight lines around the circumference of the tubes. Fitted the template inside the jubilee then traced over it to give the waste that...

So having thought I would be able to use a lathe to notch the tubes of the main seat frame it turns out it wouldn't fit due to its shape, size and mainly the fact that it already has reinforcement bars welded in it was never going to happen. The lathe should work ok for the lower frame mounts...

If your in the UK screwfix sell them. Really really useful bit of kit. http://www.screwfix.com/p/evolution-minibelt2-thin-belt-sander-230v/54960 Sent from my FRD-L09 using Tapatalk

Brackets have turned up, I just need to get them tacked up and get the subframe notched and mounted up. Sent from my FRD-L09 using Tapatalk

Good work on the brackets, I weighed up making my own, but decided to get them laser cut for £15 ($20?) for four! I'm away on holiday at the moment but hopefully they will be there when I get home. Need to get them tacked on so I can start notching some pipe! Sent from my FRD-L09 using Tapatalk
