Nice progress on the bike and sharp welding table .

 

Made some more progress tonight. Waiting in the rivet tool to come in so I can shorten the chain, set tension, check for clearance and lock it all down. More than likely I'm gonna have to trim the splash guard just cause the chains a lot thicker than the old belt. New rotors also to match-ish the sprocket.

 

Front end apart, had to drill and tap the lower tree for the steering stabilizer.
Since they're off I'm going to get the trees sprayed again, replace the bearing and risers.

 

More progress this evening. Front tank mounted weld to frame and rear tank mount welded to the tank. Just got to smooth out some welds, do some JB WELD bondo, pressure test the tank and then off to powder she goes. This is how she gonna sit unless I cut it all off.

 

Now if anyone is paying attention, before you say it could be unsafe, that it's there for a reason and all the **** just calm down. I'm not necessarily done here but I have been going back and forth about putting a gusset of some sort back or rockin it the way it is. I've done a lot of research and see a lot of old school bikes with long *** front ends, takes way the **** out and guess what no gusset. Like I said it's not the "finished product but you get the idea. Hacked off the gusset, boxed in the motor mount and cleaned up the neck area. I think it's an hell of an improvement just in looks alone. Anyways, here ya go!

 

So I decide to to take my chances and leave it off for now. Motor mount boxed in, cleaned up, painted, open belt drive together and motor mount/ignition switch back in place. I orders everything to switch over to hydraulic clutch and it all should be in by the end of the week depending on this snow storm and what it does if anything. Just need my front end back and tank to finish it up and make all the necessary adjustments.

 

Awww **** gots me a roller again!

 

 

Installed my new brembo radial clutch and master cylinders today. These things are sexy, smooth and just plain ok badass.

 

Well that's a rap for now. Gotta get a new battery (dies at idle and in neutral), had to modify the Danny gray so gonna get that wrapped at myrtle but other than that I'm satisfied for the next couple of months.
