Cool! I hadn't really planned it, but ended up ordering an m-unit too. Mine hasn't come yet, so I'll count on you to figure it out so I can follow your steps ;)

Thanks! Here are some photos of my 520 conversion. The rear sprocket is for a Suzuki DR 750 and the front sprocket is for various 90's Kawasakis. The chain is a very narrow d.i.d chain. Front first. The sprocket has a section which is 2.6mm wider as shown here: IMG_20180809_171020 by Lars...

Another test fitting of the rearset. Next day in the garage I will play with the angles and put on a longer transferrod. IMG_20180809_175756 by Lars Krogh-Stea, on Flickr And here's another picture of the rear wheel IMG_20180809_172737 by Lars Krogh-Stea, on Flickr

Finally passed the turning point, and the bike is getting together again IMG_20180809_105244 by Lars Krogh-Stea, on Flickr With the top breather cover off, the frame slid nicely over the engine. IMG_20180809_110423 by Lars Krogh-Stea, on Flickr After putting on the rear wheel and shocks it...

Time for updates.. Got the engine together today. Was a bit of a hassle bechause previous owners had ruined the threads on almost half of the 20 bolts on the valve cover. That will be a task for later, to fix the threads and get a set of new suzuki bolts. I ordered a set of oversize oil drain...

Good luck, patience is key :)

Thank you :) IMG_20170712_170300 by Lars Krogh-Stea, on Flickr The pegs are made on both the lathe and the mill. Here is a photo from a test I did with some plastic. When moving to aluminum I went down in size for the mill endpiece, I used a 3.2 mm Dremel round head. I also had to make a...

Had a go with the sodablaster today. Impressed with how clean an dry the surface is afterwards. Washed the pan in diesel first then blasted it. Gave it a coat of BMW grey to finish it off. With paint by Lars Krogh-Stea, on Flickr With paint by Lars Krogh-Stea, on Flickr With paint by Lars...

Very nice work! Although you're going a different route with your build, the process reminds me a lot of my own. You definitly overcome your lack of experience with loads of imagination, creativity and the joy doing what it takes to get where you want. I'm impressed :)

Should I powdercoat the rearsets black or leave them as they are?

Great work!

Today I got to finish one of the parts that I've really been looking forward to see finished. The Motogadget MIni embedded in the headlight. The result is not perfectly symmetrical, but close enaugh :) Motogadget embedded in headlight by Lars Krogh-Stea, on Flickr Motogadget embedded in...

Had a full days work on the bike today :) Tedious work, and I'll need another full day to finish these. Hope I'll get the time to take another full day off soon. IMG_20180328_203355 by Lars Krogh-Stea, on Flickr IMG_20180328_123910 by Lars Krogh-Stea, on Flickr

Got som time with the bike today. Did a test of the rearsets on the brake side. When i have the final measurements for both sides I will make some more parts on my friends cnc-router. The arms that hold the linkage will be about an inch shorter and much slimmer in the final version. Pictures...

Thanks for all the friendly replies! I will keep you updated :)

I have a friend with a cnc-router, so I decided to make my own rear sets. Excited to see how that goes: IMG_20170402_181501_502_zpsbsmnmawy by Lars Krogh-Stea, on Flickr

Wanted wider rear wheels and also wanted to get rid of the cast wheels. So I got hold of a 1977-9 gs750 hub. This hub is for both disc brakes and spokes. Ordered a 4.25x18 aluminum rim for it and powdercoated spokes and hub. The rim was powdercoated by the supplier. 20160707_133821_zpsx0ns4jgx...

I have no previous experience with metalwork, so behind every part is a lot of Googling and hours of Youtubewatching. In the next picture I've made some kind of buck to bend the rear seat around: 20160529_194812_zpsc9rkobar by Lars Krogh-Stea, on Flickr Here I've been trying some TIG welding...

Hi everyone! I've been working on a bike for a while and decided I'd start a thread to get feedback and to get help when I get stuck. Here's a picture of the bike when I bought it. The engine ran OK, but the bike was misssing som parts like som bolts, and one of the engine mounts. I descided...
