Welding, Wiring and Engine

Its the monday morning update then, well I dropped the frame off at a local welders last week and got it back friday.











He basically just welded over my pants welding but its much stronger, a bit of sanding will see it right, it will all be powder coated anyway.

I then remade my tank mounts so that they hold the tank in place better.




​So a quick mounting of the tank and seat


I then sorted out the fork bottoms and removed the original mudguard mountings.




Had a fiddle with some foam for the seat.

Stuck the engine back in, after changing all the gaskets and oil filter, I want to see if the engine runs first before I strip it down, seems pointless to strip it first without finding out if its ok, once I know it is then I'll take it all apart before getting it painted.





I'm very happy with the overall look so far, theres a lovely void behind where the air filters will go.

Next is to tackle this….



Its gonna prove a bit of a headache, slow and steady i am loosing a fair bit from the loom as i won't be having indicators or some of the other bits, I also need to relocate some parts of the loom to further back in the bike, so a lot of the wiring at the front will be at the back.



I think I need a bigger shed!.
