Speedfight 2 50 project

Clock mount finished. Just need to sand & polish it now. Going to tidy the wiring up & start on the bodywork next

 

Woohoo, Santa's been while I was at work

 

That's a handy bit of carb/tranny kit you've got there -
Wanna get set up ? You gotta have the bits !

 

Been busy this evening. Cleaned up the jack up kit & fitted the new shock. I've refitted the main stand to make some jobs easier......... Wish I'd done it when the engine was out

 

Haven't much to report, just trying to sort the wiring out. I have bought my paint, so tried the etch primer & colour to see what it looked like. Still undecided, but it's too late now

 

Had a little play this morning while waiting for the missus to get out of bed. Painted the belt cover, quite like the colour now


Fitted my manual choke, biggest jet I had & dry fitted the air filter to see what she looks like. Not long before I turn the key & fire her up (shitting myself on the quiet, but quite excited at the same time)

 

All of my electrics seem to work & thought I'd fit the belt cover.

 

If thats a copy of a malossi e13 filter keep a good eye on it. The cover can pop off on bumpy roads. And if it pops off once it will keep doing it!

 

Cheers for that I'll keep my eye on it

 

Damn I like that color! !! Jizz in my pants

 

Triumph T595 Green apparently.
I called at BS Paints in Stoke on Trent, they will mix your paint & put it into rattle cans for you. Not a bad price either £8.50 ea

 

Might have to pop down breakwell paints to get myself some of that mixed up

 

Not done too much tonight, still getting the wiring sorted out & fixed the expansion bottle that had been dangling around, which had worn a hole in it. 1 soldering iron & zippy tie later & the hole is fixed. I've sprayed the front fairing too, it looks very nice, I'm glad i chose the colour now.

 

Nice technique crooz - good job !

 

Ooo theres that colour again
Anyone got any tissue

 

looks good buddy

 

Cheers for that Well, she lives! Started her up tonight, she fired 1st time, I'm hoping thats a sign of things to come. I have a coolant leak, but thats not too much of an issue. It did pee me off when the fuel line broke & pissed petrol all over my belt cover, I'm hoping it hasn't damaged the paint. I will post a video tomorrow, my home internet is playing up, so wont upload.

 

i think the whole scoot would look nice in that green with different colour wheels, like what youve done so far, one of the best projects on here for ages

 

not feeling the high pitched squeel when starting
