Whats under the rubber fork gaiters? are there any springs under them? could you ditch the rubbers?

looking good tho'

Could the ign' switch go somewhere on the side? might be a neater fit and hide the wiring easier. plus its not expected on the side is it

 

[degsey]

No springs unfortunately , it's an option for the ignition switch on the side, I will have a look tomorrow but I kind of like it up and to one side

 

[bwprice100]

That did cross my mind however I may fit indicators at a later date and I will attached them to that location. I also considered just having a toggle switch in the headlight bowl but I decided no.

I could do you a good deal on some indicators to mount in the end of the handle bars

I looked at them on your site as an option, maybe not sure yet......... one set of indicators would be good but how do you get the flash right with just one set up front

 

[Kenny]

If they are LED ( havn't looked ) then individual resistors between the feed wires of each indicator

thanks but they are just normal bulbs

 

[degsey]

Sorted the wiring out this morning, from this



To this



The exhaust adaptors come so I put both silencers on and give it a quick start up





I’ve decided I am not going to put the battery under the gear box but I will put it where the air filter is..........................for now

those 2 horns need to go as well...............looks shite

I am looking out the window like a puppy for the postman to bring the seat from Tony Archer...hope it comes before the end of the world

There are various ways but basically a resistor in series to act as the second bulb. There are also LED specific Indicator relays. When you need to i can send you more info.

Coming together

 

[darkhorse]

coming together, but have to say the rear end looks a bit strange, but may be better once the seat is on

Yes we want to see the seat.

 

[degsey]

Yes it gives you that impression , when you sit on it the rear drops down about 3" and it sits quite level, no seat as yet I guess it will be the New Year now which is shite. i think the rear light gives it a high look. I am not convinced about the exhausts either I may have to make some.

I am just working on a battery carrier that will fit where the air box sits and that's just stopped because my jigsaw has gone tits up

In what way strange Dave

pardon for butting in but i agree with dave . to me it looks like the rear mudguard needs to move round more so the light isn't where a rack could be (10 o'clock instead of 12 )

Point taken thanks, let's see what it looks like when the seats on

Mud guard a bit high and rear light looks a bit of an after thought. Is that the light you originally where after?

 

[darkhorse]

Could you no have some new header pipes made up so the pipes tuck in closer or swap them around so the pipes come up over the top of the pots?

 

[degsey]

The header pipes are about 25cm away from the frame tubes so getting the close is not an issue, I will have a look at bring them over the top of the pots. I think the visual effect of the exhaust being low down and the rear fender being kicked up is ruining the look.

 

[Bugbear]

I don't even know if its possible but I think that if the rear mudguard could be fitted closer to the tyre and fixed to pivot with the suspension rather than fixed to the frame, it would look really sweet.

 

[degsey]

I know what you are saying but that's not an option , when I sit on the bike it on has about 2 inches of clearance between the tyre and the fender and it looks really balanced , I will get a picture for you shortly
