That I picked up from AndyT
Well I picked up my Ural about a month ago, It were not quite in the condition I was expecting, it ran pretty well considering, but paintwork on the chair was dull and there were a couple of holes in the floor, the chrome was breaking through the rust in places, so I stripped it down, polished all the chrome, and cleaned all the alloy
,
then cut the rough bits out of the floor,
then welded new metal in,
I roller painted the chair using rustoleum,
The seat mount was cracked at the welds, but I disliked the look of the original, as there was a car battery in the chair, I junked the bike battery and made a seat mount,
Though the tyres had plenty of tread, cracks were appearing in the sidewall, so I replaced them, as well as replacing the tubes,
I made a givi mount out in stainless, to replace the rear seat,
pretty much back together, there was a issue with the lights, cleaning the ignition switch contacts sorted that, I replaced the horn as well as the old one didn't work, wired in an accessory socket on the bike and in the chair, and replaced the cables from the battery,
I completely stripped both carbs and cleaned them, but found that slackening off all the throttle cables, the bike was still revving to high at tickover and was not resting against the idle screws, clearly the cables were to long and had been for the past 10 years, so I shortened the cable mount, and now it ticks over at the correct speed,
Nearly finished,
