Still feels like a long way a way haha Once the motors back in the frame, Ill get a massive hard on and the ball should roll abit faster.............................(i say that now)

Holy crap I did some work on this!!!! Have had a new headset sitting on the bench for a long time now, finally put it in. Why did I not do that earlier?! Putting brand new parts on is so sweet! Feels so good, I guess thats mainly because the last head set was "index steering" Forks on for the frist time since like last year! Loser! Sweet pootato pix aswel Have cleaned up the motor as good as I can, ready for paint. I know some people hate on painted air cooled motors, but this motor looks like balls Think Ive cleaned it up some more since these photos aswel Got the tank back from mates workshop which motivated me to get the seat pan made up after abit of trial and error with making the basic shape Settled on this Seat needs to be slightly raised to allow room for electrics, so made a lip around the edge Then welded from underneath, ground off top welds and welded on some studs for mounting, and etch primed Slightly tapered the front end to meet the tank width really happy with overall look, the seat the bottom line of the tank is dead on where i wanted it. Stoked! Terrable photos sorry, will sort out my camera and take some half decent ones at some stage Next jobs up - pant the motor - put it in the frame - redo the foot pegs - and finish off sealing the tank ready to paint. that is all.

steels need hub caps and ride height needs more impractical , (^^not the same van as yours but you get the idea)

Unless Ive miss read/understood (highly likely), but would you not be better off selling your KP made up adjustables as they are, then use the money to get another stock pair, then weld your new units on? might end up better off, maybe. Only suggest as you said money will be tight and Im enjoying the updates, Self presevation, I want you to have cash flow so I can see your updates haha

yup yup, but if i bring it, its a one way trip/ it'll be living at yours haha Hoping to come up Thurday night, will crash at Lauras old ladys place then up to the bogan HQ Friday night

yup, either way i can take them If you can wrap them that would be good

Looking sweet man! Are you gonna run the exhausts parallel to each other? or are they in there finally resting place?

Laura and me will be up there, Laura's taking the prefect down, will have a fresh head grind and new head gasket hopefully in time

Just wondering if I won an auction on the tardme for some wheels, would someone be able to pick them up for me in the Franklin area Would need to be able to hold/store them (outside is fine) for maybe a few days aswel, till I could pick them up or what not Cheers HayHole

dont you worry, this shit be pulling the bishes once welded!!

Was wondering if some one could have a look at a Ford Courier Xl Crew Cab 1998 for me. if someone is willing ill get the address off the guy but its some where in the Tron Cheers Hey-hole

Knucklehead, but a sweet bike tho, dont normally like big engine-to-tank gaps, but the bar and tank combo save this one

Sweet shit man! good to hear, I like that the cable fix, is to hard tail it. Perfect!

I like the "TAGS" Lee Adams From Napier

MEaN! Looking good

Ah i see, Fuck its so sweet some one should buy that hog! Russell, just do it!

Very cool man, I love these things, Have a mate who has three of them, two are custom and look the shit!

aw yeah got Laura to proof read it and she picked up on that too

What a fizzler of a build thread! Only really on my part as Danny has completely dominated the build off................once agian. So I have been working away on mine tho. Ticking off jobs/ trying to keep the build moving along and now my deadline is out the window, Ive been pretty picky on the little details Have also been Ebaying up a strom Genuine New Old Stock Suzuki coil from Singapore Got this Biltwell mako tail light copy, its still real good build quality for a copy and doesnt feel cheap and nasty Have cut the number plate bracket off, plan to mount it on top of the rear gaurd but kinda not too sure on it at the moment sticks up real high, but ill have to wait till the seat is done and might not look too bad. indicator, came with normal lenses, smoked and clear. Metal housings and feel like good build quality aswel. New swing arm bearings in. Managed to get some Genuine Suzuki one out of the UK Made up a new coil mount. The old one had been cut off for some reason, and the coil that was on it, was cable tied on! Rear hoop all welded in. and tidied up the ends of the shock mounts Pretty happy with how that came out Before......... ........After, just weld filled it, in the end. Looks pretty good, and once the primer and paint goes on, it should fill any last little pits Have since cut all the unwanted tabs off and welded on tabs for the rear guard and seat mounting points. Have to move a foot peg mounting point over, and a flasher unit mount then the frame is done and ready for paint. The Swing arm pivot sleeve was really badly pitted and the bearings rusted out and completely shot, hence the new bearings. Boyles couldnt find me a new replacement sleeve anywhere. Searched on ebay, but couldnt find anything. Lauras old man gave me a couple of good ideas, but then I remembered I still, for some reason, held onto the rear/cut up swing arm for the KZ from when i hard tailed it. Sure enough the sleeve is the right length and the right size OD (where the bearings run), but the wrong ID (where the axle goes). Stoked! As that shouldnt be too hard to fix, will ask Manu if he can drilll that out for me some time. Manu if your reading this............ I left not just one but both of my cameras up in Napier, Kinda why i havent done an update in for ever, Have just brought a new phone, with what seems to be, not too bad a camera onit. But anyway Lees bringing my cameras back down next week so will get some good photos of Dannys hog. Or you can just look on MoM http://www.machineofmayhem.com/dannys-custom-bike/
