oldnrusty Posted August 1, 2014 Author Share Posted August 1, 2014 Sweet so managed to get abit done today during smokos and lunch break Put a coat of Black Zinc just for now while i mod the frame and weld up new tabs for shit, just wanted something on it will it was bare hence the paint jobs abit rough Swing arm wasnt blasted, will just paint strip it i think, but for now its just degreased and cleaned up You can see the state that the frame is in, most of it just looks like this, textured paint look, which should be sweet once its primed and painted properly This shits abit different tho, might have to weld fill this Degreased the wheels, the rear was covered in grease....... ...Came up really good! this is with no polishing, just cleaning aswel. and through the motor in aswel Its coming along, i guess, fell like im not really getting anywhere and just going in circles, but now I just need to sort tires for ride height, while im waiting on them i can sort out tabs for the electrics and little shit that will slow me down further along Cheers 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnrusty Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 So bee awhile since the last update, shits on the go slow with us both being on electric at the moment Danny has done his frame mod, which looks fucking sweet!! The factory frame looks as bent as a gay dudes slong, Now looks level side on with the up sweep rear tail section Electric poohar water troff is all done and installed now, and the wiring is looking pretty neat considering how much is stuffed into that tray New throttle So I havent been doing a whole heap, just remounting eletric magic boxes... Factory New mounts in, just need one more for the flasher, then ill get onto getting a small battery and make a mount for that, being 6v should be able to get a small one no worries hopefully i can make the battrey sit high enough up that you wont be able to see it side on Pretty happy with it, tried to make it look nice and clean also not 100% sure how ill be mounting the seat so wanted to be able to remove the electrics from the bottom aswel as the top Also finally came to a decision on tires, after going back a forth with liking then not liking the tires on the Holiday Customs bike im building it to, Ive decided that i hated the front tire but liked the rear So im just gona go matching front and rear, 16-500 rear and a 18-400 front http://www.cokertire.com/500-16-firestone-ans-motorcycle.html# There on there way now, so hopefully be here soon, Dannys only took acouple of weeks which i thought was pretty good, Fingers crossed Cheers 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hayholes mum Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 That looks terrible.... But if that swingarm pivot was lowered a bit so it was level, and the lower rear shock mount moved forward a bit.. Might look okay. DO IT SON. PS.

Steelies Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 rad! looks chunky as. rear end will get softer as that lower shock mount comes forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnrusty Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Shit this build is going slow! compaired to last time anyway. Ball is still rolling tho, I feel like im real dragging the chain and but Dannys dominating it ...............agian Got some prime-hole on my tank, Tanks to Chris other tank and bits are for chris's hog Put the new foot pegs on, had to modify the hangers, worked out all good, apart from one flaw that i fuct up on - keen motorcycles will spot Think they look oright, not sure if Im just steering at them and not totally all bout them or once its all done, mounts are black, and youll hardly notice them Lowered the rear and front abit more, the rear is at 60mm on the shock and front is 110 in this photo, Im think bang on 100mm will level out the tank and frame nicely and Im happy with that for swing arm levelness haha once i sit on it itll be sweet Head light brackets on, this headlight came with the bike, its not factory, i kinda like it but the bottom of the front surround is totally rusted out, so have to look out for a new one Top view of foot pegs, Dannys hog is looking pretty much finished....looking anyway. He peiced it together the other night and rode it After something like 3 weeks of wiring, cut extend remove and remount, the thing still fires up, with out catching on fire which is nice Ride that hog That is all 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anglia4 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 What was the peg fuck up? Put them on the wrong sides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kicker Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Brake lever looks hard to reach, does it just need to be rotated on the splines or is it disconnected? Oh and the pegs fold forwards and up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnrusty Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 Yeah, I modified one peg at a time, what i should have done was cut both of and swapped the "cups" left to right, they only fold slightly forwards, Still pisses me off, and was thinking it could be a wof issue, so will have to fix i think Yeah brake lever is just hanging out in that photo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
