Psssst,don't tell the wife!!

What did you use to clean the cases ?

 

[mikeyboy]

Paraffin,stainless steel scrubber,then high pressure steam

 

[mikeyboy]

If the cases are badly corroded I have them aquablasted,this creates a load more work .
In this case it really wasn't necessary,
Here's one that's been blasted

 

[mikeyboy]

Spent a bit of time on this today,got the new forks in and offered the front plastics up ,plus a bit more prep on the frame,

 

[mikeyboy]

All seems to work together nicely

 

[mikeyboy]

Oh !
nearly forgot,
The engine is built

Lookin good Mickey. Cleaner than a man called Dave

Now I am confused.
I thought that this was the bike I was fitting the Hayabusa forks to ? can`t be as I still have that frame here !!.
Is this one going to need the same tank mounts battery box etc as the other 2 frames I have here?.

Hi Chris,this is another one!,
Totally different from the two you have at your gaff
Variety is the spice of life

 

[mikeyboy]

Bit of light bracing

 

[mikeyboy]

Has anyone got an extended swing arm and driveshaft sitting around they want to sell?
Before I commission one

Bugger!

The wife has found out.

Heads down everyone.

 

[mikeyboy]

Yay,we have a swinging arm

 

[mikeyboy]

Not forgotten about this one,been a lot going on behind the scenes, so to speak
Our semi tame master fabricator " mistacat" has come up trumps again and waved his magic welding torch over the frame,bracing the head stock,making the rear frame and making the Enfield 500 tank fit,plus a load more besides
Chris , you are a star

 

[tuftywhite]

Looks great. Can't wait to try it for size.

 

[mikeyboy]

Well that's the dry build done!
Loaded the wee beastie into the van and taken to have the exhaust made!
Once the exhaust is made I can strip it all down and prepp for powder
Then the fun can begin

 

[mikeyboy]

Few more pics

 

[mikeyboy]

Yay we have a exhaust
