Looking forward to reading this, and maybe backwards when I get the time to read your older thread. Your bike looks mega as it, sure you've got some more great ideas for it. :thumbsup:

is that CX back in there?

 

[Natan]

Yes mate that's my brother's budget-restored and long-neglected CX

Congrats on finishing the apprenticeship. I've heard simoniz engine paint is really easy to use and gives a great finish, might be worth looking into it.

i been cleaning my engine on and off for a while, i gave it a rub over with sandpaper and then used clear packing wrap (like cling film but buy it in b&q for £6 a roll) to cover anything i don't want paint on. i'm going to use an engine paint that doesn't need heating after cause it won't be back in the bike for a while. i plan on using PJ1 paint as it seem to be ok

PJ1 allegedly isn't what it once was , took all the fun stuff out

g'wan, chop it up, make it fit

Ehh, I'm tempted but I'd rather not risk losing a bunch of money if I fuck it up! Plus after it's narrowed I'd have to make a subframe to fit it...I think I'd prefer something a bit more bare-bones with more of the frame showing. I'll have a think this weekend.

Looking good so far mate, i'll be painting my motor as well looking forward to the finish you get with whatever product ya go with

liking that swingarm extension it's something i have been contemplating but not this year.

 

[yantosh]

decent powdercoating won't hide a thing, it's like paint

 

[Natan]

Shit. Looks like another couple rounds of welding and grinding then! I guess I need the practice

 

[yantosh]

I think a CB1000r shock is similar dimensions, has no res and will be a stiffer honda shock

 

[rex_saugerty]

will you just weld the subframe? or will make it bolt on?

 

[Natan]

Will be welded on in place of the current one. Still to draw it up yet
