project zip

yea i did look at that but didnt really feel it that much tbh lol

 

after looking at how the paint has dried and realising how hard and how much its going to cost me in paint to do the bike in this colour i have decided im going to go with the idea i came up with the other day li will give you a clue it has a theme of a retro game

 

bit of an update nothing major

completely stripped the engine down to the bare minimum and de-greased and cleaned it up at work





then going to respray it make it look alot better

have to drill out some bolts that the previous owner snapped and use nuts and bolts

 

Looking good, mine still got muck on it, its going to take ages to get it completly back to metal lol You going to keep it air cooled or are you going to fit a water pump?

 

it took me about an hour to get it looking like that lol use a wire wheel on a drill thats what i did worked a treat haha and yea keeping it air cooled

 

heres some updates (i know my other pics arent showing having problems with photobucket, i have sent them a message hope it gets sorted soon)

heres the update

i ordered some l.e.d strips for my rear lights and indicators





i may need to cut them down as i think they are abit long atm will fit them to the panel 2moz

i decided to change the colour scheme and have abit of a theme with the bike to mix it up abit

sprayed the engine housing

primered



then the black



made a stencil of the theme im going with and here is the final product



then is was on with the panels gloss black just need laquring











resprayed the belly pan gloss black going to get a sticker made up for it in the end



respraying the inner panels aswell matte have primered them ready for paint





as i was in bristol over the weekend i stopped in pedparts and purchased these



tnt handle bars and str8 stem, had no problems with fitting the stem i as i have been told they have worked on the design so it fits alot better and a bag of screws and clips

fitted them and had 2 other peds sitting up at my work we were given ones a jap import which i have nicked some parts off and the other is a suzuki katana



and heres the bars fitted with the switch and brake lever fitted which i nicked of the japanese ped





will be cracking on with purchasing tuning parts in the new year when i have money and its my bday in jan so will be asking for funds lol

all comments welcome

 

will do would i need to bung it with something to stop shit from going in the hole?

 

i cut back the pipe and filled it with black silicon sealer (i took it off before hand lol)

just waiting for the documents to come through before a do any tuning mods and other mods incase they say it does come up stolen to which i will be paying somebody a visit if it does

 

no i mean i have no v5 in my name

 

i now have a v5 in my name so updates will becoming thick and fast.....when i have money

 

right UPDATES

heres more of the panels

rear panel is finished and has a gloss shine will try get a better pic



all inner panels finished in matte black



then took the front shock apart to give them a coat of paint however on removing them there didnt seem to be much fluid coming out of them how much fluid is supose to be in them? as a there was about a shot glass full in one but none in the other

sanded them back



added primer and gloss black



then time for colour and detail to keep in with the theme









and then fitted them i removed the plastic cover as looked abit shit with it on and they werent in the best condition but if its advised to keep them on i will refit them







then started on redoing the wiring making it abit neater



fitted the inner panel



and mounted a full light on it and a switch for my side lights as the handle bar switch doesnt have one and on the throttle side there will only be a start button which comes on the stage6 quick action throttle



also made a checkered floor plate



all comments welcome as usual

 

quite nice the front fork!!

 

cheers mate thought i would do something abit different

will be ordering a stage6 crank soon then spending money each month on tuning parts

 

oh, i did not know that :O cheers for the heads up dude will have to rethink my plan and what else i could use the button for instead
