a bit of spondoness.

Make them captive, saves faffing when wheel changing.

thats the plan tony i wanted to make this wheel like the dymag in that i can just pull the axle out and it just sits in postion held by the swingarm cups. makes it dead easy for wheel changes.

[fabiostar]

so the long running battle is over, and i win , just need a new sprocket and a good clean and its good to go.
parts ended up.
Honda swingarm bolt as an axle
spacers/sleeves/bearings from all sorts
Honda wheel
rear wheel now running 4 bearings
new carrier(disc)
kawasaki disc
kawasaki caliper
Honda carbon chain guard
sprocket carrier faced
kawasaki front brake line
alloy bracket for the caliper
Ti bolts for said bracket.










i love that big ugly brute of a swingarm tho


i win. but NEVER again

Rear Talon sprocket arrived today so after a wee scrub thats the rear end buttoned up and good to roll...

oh and yes the oil pipes are grotty but they are on the hit list to be changed

just waiting on a man whos making me something to call and say its ready and that the jigsaw finished i promise.

thats the thing about getting old
the older i get the more i forget?

[fabiostar]

yeah i keep forgetting to stop spending money i dont have on this dam bike

[fabiostar]

nothing else happening so took my chance to get the bikes bodywork off for a scrub up underneath.

rev counter retrimmed and the frame giving a wee clean up










but now heres the biggy, do i try it or not? i love the look of them and iv an old fairing here that came with the bike i got the motor from which had been running ramtubes so i can use that as a template but, when its fitted it looks a bit messy ,sorta. not sure on this so i will sit and give it some thought before getting the dremel out.

[freeridenick]

Send everything to me, I'll test them out for you. My fairing is shaped to fit so it'll just be a case of catching me to get them back. Lol.
