I like how you've come up up with a plan of attack, it's something i was looking for when i started my project as i felt i needed some direction. turns out you just start taking it apart and it all flows from there
I mounted all the bits on my handlebars over the weekend. Ended up having to cut 20mm of the throttle twist grip, not ideal but not really a problem either. Fabbed up a wee bracket for my speedo too.
Can anyone enlighten me as to how to remove the cable from my old speedo? I took it all apart but it appears to be all sealed up, tamper proof I guess.
I'm gonna go for some rattle can bling this weekend. All chrome parts, most of them are rusty too so I've done lots of research and prep work. I hope to have some pictures of the results next week. I'll either be an expert in dealing with rusty shit or going to plan B, sending them off for sand blasting & powder coating
There's plenty of work going on but not much to show because my bike is scattered about town. The engine and carbs are at the mechanic's. The frame and swing arm are getting glass blasted ready for powder coating this week. I almost forgot my ignition is at the lock smith getting re built. I have bits in my garage, bits in the car, bits in my bedroom and my shed is now a make shift spray booth. I need 2 more cans of enamel to finish my rattle can work. I'll shoot home at lunch time today for that. I cleaned up a few parts yesterday and drilled some speed holes. Busy!
98% happy with my rattle can work. Definitely the best I've ever done. Considering it was really cold then really windy and my 'paint booth' was less than ideal. Picking up my frame tomorrow so not far from reassembly. Need some caliper paint for my disc rotor before I can get the front wheel back together, oh and some tyres...
Steal is such a harsh term don't you think? Let's just say like don't mind if you "take inspiration" from my work. Unless you're planning a move to the South Pacific of course! I'm still on track to have the only café racer in my city. Yes that is the stock front fender cut down with the fork brace lowered.
