savage work lad cant wait to see this finished serious work
Another bit of a well needed up date...
i had it up and running with the 400 engine and it just didnt have enough go for the sideways action or to scare me enough lol
so out it came and i have now replaced it with a 919cc honda fireblade, which has about twice the horsepower.
still a few things left to get sorted before i strip it down and paint it.
Brakes now sorted all round, got new custom braided brake hoses made and have them fitted.
Gear lever linkage sorted now to work with the fireblade engine.
Dash now made and fitted, still some clocks and switches to be added.
Front suspension modified for more lock, jus need to modify shock set up.
Clutch and throttle cables, linkages and brackets sorted
replaced the cloth bucket seat with a leather bucket seat.
Chain and sprocket set up now suited to fireblade.
Waiting on a petrol tank and alloy radiator.
Made a start on paneling the sides.
Got a set of magnesium revolutions - really light.

So made a start on getting it fitted into place, cut some more box section and made the base frame around it.

Also cut out a place at shock mount bracket for a tail and brake light. Pass no remarks on welds here, only few blobs to hold it together, gonna weld it up when I have her stripped.

Got a bit more done to this,
Fitted fuel tank and fuel pump and made brackets to suit, also made a fuel swirl pot and piped all up. Still need to make a mounting bracket for it.
Also got radiator fitted, just need to make a removable top mount, also got it piped up, just need to make a few clamps to hold the pipes in place.
I got the mudguard brackets made and fitted on one side, to mount the front one I made a plate with mounting holes and welded it to the top of the hub so it will turn with the wheel.

Never mind the messy garage lol
got back on track with this, stripped it all down so i could get it fully welded up as alot of it was just tacked together, mainly all the brackets.
lining everything up and thinking of what all brackets i needed was the slowest part.
but i should have all welded up soon an ready for a lick of paint.
