Mick finishing off the last bit of welding for me, left lots of ally bits for anodising with him to collect next week hopefully. Frame in for powder soon.
booked in at the powder coaters, dropping off sometime this morning, all the ally bits for anodising have been delivered this morning,
should have back by end of week all being well,
well good day in all regards, took my GS and Avrils little KTM Duke 125 for MOT, what a blast it is trying to keep up corner speed on a little bike! so its not at a stand still when you exit on to the next straight
both passed, GS with front tyre and "noisy" exhaust observations
then got a call from RNR Powder coaters, frame and bits ready for collection, so quick drive over to West Tanfield to collect said item.
looks like i have some work to do over the bank holiday now
now i have most of the bits back from anodising, I was able to get the swing arm end caps fitted and clean up a small amount of coating from the mounting points on the frame to get the arm in.
fits sweet, i will fit the rest of the arm hardware later, that has also been away for anodising. still waiting on the wheel spacers to come back, so test fit of rear wheel will have to wait till then.
Saturday afternoon spent sticking a few more bits back in place with a bit of judus Priest on the box of noise, off the box so i can get better access to bottom of motor and frame.
today has mostly been taken up with fitting the sump, greasing up all the bolts with a splash of copper slip and re fitting, and to finish off i have removed unwanted extra metal from the clutch case spacer and giving it a good rub down with some Scotchbrite pads.
