Front end time


Had a spare half hour or so last night so I thought I'd swap the front end over and see whats what.

Initial impressions are good, looks ok and fits with minimal hassle

I will need to change the bearings and cap the top one off somehow

Test fitted some clip ons I had floating around they are too big hence the masking tape but overall not bad.

Then the tank and seat unit, still need to sort the rear frame out yet.

Now the big problem I have is the rear frame is much wider that the seat unit I have, options then, cut the hell out of the frame and remake and re weld to fit or cut the seat unit in half and re fibreglass it bigger, the second option may be better as I am not sure the rear is wide enough based on the size of the tank.

If I move the seat back its a bit better, still wide tho.

maybe not so much cutting and re welding but still a bit, think I need to sit down and have a good old head scratch about this one, need to get the tank to sit right first then i can see where that leaves me with the seat, now where did I put that angle grinder?
