HollywoodMX's xv920/TR1 Cafe super-dupe!

I say go for it - worst thing that could happen is you have to do them again and you're out twenty bucks.

Ya maybe a more subtle like metallic grey, something like this.

Well I got a bunch of shit done today. Got the spacers made for the shock mounts, both ends.

Also got MORE custom bushings made! What am I up to this time? It's coming!

Back to the rear shock!

 

[HollywoodMX]

All fits good, looks good and easy access to preload, compression and rebound! (rebound will be under the seat though..)

 

[HollywoodMX]

Next the frame shit.

I had to clean up where I chopped both ends of the frame prepping for my custom jobbie had to make things level as I cut them while they were on the bike.

I find it quite entertaining this is the frame is so simple. I really like it. The lower part of the frame is level now (the smaller part) at this stage and ready for welding.

 

[HollywoodMX]

Here is the leveling of the chopped main frame.

Now I'm not a frame engineer BUT I did stay at a holiday Inn Select... ;D 8)

 

[HollywoodMX]

Now across.. fugging rights doggy!! PS took me like 4 hours to level both parts of the frame today. Keep in mind they didn't need to be THAT level but why not, lets make this bike really well done.

Now we are ready for custom boxing and welding tomorrow.

 

[HollywoodMX]

Well the boxing got delayed until today. Vagina got in the way for valentine's...

But I got new presents from motorcycle clause.

 

[HollywoodMX]

Boxed in the frame and did a shit load of grinding.. Trying to get things ready for painting.

Also not pictured, I prepared the steering tube for the new gxr shizat. Ha I wasted half an hour looking for the lower race..it was in with the lower bearing...duh! lol.

 

[HollywoodMX]

clean things up a little.

 

[HollywoodMX]

So I lost a bit of time today. I sanded the red filler and I forgot I hate that red shit. So I removed it on all those previous parts and scuffed them up, should be good for paint.

Feeling I didn't accomplish anything I decided to get the gussets done on the subframe. It was a bit time consuming too.

 

[HollywoodMX]

Sweet ditty! The carbs and chainsaw decompression valve came in today!

These were holding me up on the head work for the engine build. The engine builders hope to do the boring of the cylinders today too. I desperately need that info for the custom pistons. My xv piston is sitting on Nick Arias the third's desk waiting for my specs.

Ohhhhhhh Ya.

 

[Rich Ard]

Oooh.

 

[HollywoodMX]

Cleaning with the ichiban parts washer!

 

[HollywoodMX]

The bigger brother version for the more brutish tasks...

 

[HollywoodMX]

Now the business.. 8)

Just need the pistons now.

Haha, Ya!

Well I sanded the main frame and the secondary so it's all ready for paint. It was annoying.

Built some flanges for the frame. Too bad I will have to wait for the engine to be finished to used them.

 

[HollywoodMX]

More custom shiiiiiiit.

Superclean but you have to be careful, it ate the finish off some parts.
