Back on it yesterday......... https://i.imgur.com/o15NzBe.jpg https://i.imgur.com/sODjcxw.jpg Usual grime to clean away......... https://i.imgur.com/NaDaYLS.jpg Don't think thats been treated in a while........ https://i.imgur.com/nxgnu7R.jpg I'll take the one on the right please Bob......... https:...

Got a bit more done today..........cleaned the front of the dirty engine with some Gunk.
Checked the valve clearances [which were non existant],sprayed the corroded front fork legs black.
Stripped off a load more heavy junk and fitted the EBC discs......

I bend and form tube for a living and have worked with titanium occasionally. The softer, more malleable grades are quite straightforward - Grades 1 & 2. Some of the harder, more springy grades are 'kin 'orrible and really test my patience. Of course, if you use a softer grade then the finished...

Made some good progress today...........


Found 2 broken exhaust bolts and 2 PAR nuts that won't move..........
Some goody's for the front end..........

Yeah I think its going to be too unmanageable to work with as the thinner it is the springier and thicker gear is so tuff to work and kin' expensive.

Nice spec on this bike,it'll ride very well.

That's a fine lift you have there

Chris.

Its the same one I purchased to refurb my Storm,me owd bones won't let me work on the floor.....

Hi folks,don't know if you'd be interested in my latest project,I know it aint a Storm but I enjoy doing the spanner work just as much as riding..... First up before anything could progress I had to make a bracket for the bike lift as the Storm fitment would'nt work....... https://i.imgur.com/yUpZTS...

I've used Hammerite smooth spray cans with good effect on the spring,don't know if they do yella but red is very nice too and its pretty hard wearing.

Hi folks,as the title really.Need to make an exhaust hanger and would like to use titanium.
I've fondled some thin sheet and it is very springy,does anyone know if 2mm would be less so?

Imagine if it had two cans at that angle............pretty mean looking.

They can look good when butchered, what plans have you got? Just the usual brakes/handling Al,I picked up a brand new GSXR1000 rear shock,Scorpion titanium pipe and can a set of Dyna coils and Taylor leads,to be honest when it was delivered it ran like a bag of nails so I will go through the carbs ...

This is my 2nd Bandit,I bought a new one in 97'.

The actual full size pics show how good this is but for some reason I can't reproduce them....worth a look.
