previous story is here
so plans for now is to get front end done, build a fairing around it. swap the swingarm, find a wheel for it.
so here i started yesterday
previously drawed it up and printed out on paper. had to purchase some exra tools for this, but tools last several builds
did cuts at 84 degrees so i can bend the tubes for neat shape. could have done it in single piece or make a trellis frame, but i like it this way, two pieces makes me think it's sturdier and it looks better in my mind, so i dont care what you say
both outer pieces done. was really missing a C-clamp, but i managed to get them identical anyway
this is how far i got it done
and pic of week age of bike, because, well... you have to start a pic with bike right?
as for money
100eur bike
65ish crank
50ish gasket set
120eur bearings for crank
50ish carb boots
misc stuff is 20ish i think
pipes was 30?
plasma cut parts was 20(yes you heard me right)
probably some guys with engineering background has a twitchy eye right now. but hey, if it works
