Well I've started! arty-smiley: "Cheap Trick" cos I want to keep the expense of crash damage to a minimum.
The painkillers are history so long as I take it easy and get the muscle from the missus!
I've just about got everything together I need. All from my desktop! Inspiration from all sides. Cheers.
Will be giving it a bit of paint too. Renthals different lights no mirrors. shortened/stubby end can. But really just to get back ont road ready for when the plaster comes off the arm! Hopefully in 5 weeks time.
Maybe cause its plastic it was easier but still that is some hole drillin' perfection. I've done exactly the same with aluminum, or aluminiumium as people in your country say, and they didn't come out near that perfect to fit my flex strip through. Nice and neat, good job.
The tail piece will be standard, just the LED indicator strips and numberplate bracket.
I'll clean all the scuffs etc and spray up black with faded silver "flames". Loads of laquer:rock:
The front needs the headlight brackets sorting next and the cables and pipework tidying up. Then the clocks have to have somewhere to live!! Renthals on with RaceTech levers.
The expansion bottle doesn't leak:thumbsup:But not sure how it's supposed to work!
Don't you just love tywraps?
I'm guessing this bottle is the same as "Rob the Brit's" but his pic has gone.
Well...I fucked up the headlight surround :doh: New I should have waited till I could use the drill properly.
Drilled for the indicators like the rear but wtf...my holes are a mile off! Oh well have to change the plans slightly. Drill the holes 8mm instead of 6 and drill stainless plate with the correct pitch to cover over them...If I keep it quiet no-one will know......
Using the old fairing? cos it has the oil cooler guard built in. I don't fancy using the bike with it unprotected, the first week I got the bike the rad got holed
Not done much lately but gonna use 2mm carbonfibre sheet to mount the front LEDs now that the HL surround is peppered! Not a bad thing cos it means I can now mount it nearer the forks and a bit lower:thumbsup:
Been a bit pissed off cos now my plaster is off I can't move my wrist as much as I hoped so it's gonna be a few months til I get enough movement to be able to use the throttle or even grip it.
But that should give me enough time to work my wrist and get to spraying the tank fender and tailpiece. Get the headlight mounted. Sort the belly pan or not. Get cooler covers or not.
The tank is now rubbed down and ready for a build/primer coat. Not sure on the artwork yet but might mix the streetfighter logo with flames!!
About to get the HLight mounted and then make the carbonfibre mounts for the strip LED indicators. Also need to fab a bracket to the drawing I roughed out for the clock/guages.
I'm back in work :yawn: next week so things are gonna slow down a bit.
This will be Gold fading into the black base colour of the bike..maybe. Front fender and tailpice will be the same size but the tank one will be larger.
