oldnrusty

should be a pretty easy fix, My Mk2 snapped a auto gear selector cable, and was a pretty simple fix/easy to work on room wise.

Have you manage to get parts all good?

Think ill just run the Renthal bars that it came with, There abit stuffed tho, so have been looking for a replacement bar.

They'll let the bike down I reckon, But I do like the bar itself, shape and size, maybe abit narrower

nar, just came up in pinterest

edit:, just googled the picture, and came up with this

http://silodrome.com/1932-talbot-boat-tail/

tank seal, bog, sand, bog, sand, re prime, paint, baste with semen! fit petcock, fill with petrol, find all the holes on first ride, start over.

gun mental gay is the colour

edit; Was flicking back through the build photos, noticed id missed out the part where i sprayed the frame 2k satin black. 

So in my hast in getting the front end back in, didnt realize Id put the forks on backwards haha dumbarse 
 
 
But anyway, heres the wheels in, 

 
wasnt going to paint the wheels or polish the drums when I started out, but chrome was stuffed and hubs needed something happening to them

 
really happy with the headlight aswel, got it awhile back but nice to see it on the bike finally

 
fresh paint!

 
First time ive seen it all one colour

 
Since I had the wheels all but done, thought I might aswel put a new sprocket on there, figured it would be a black one as thats what come off,
turned out to be a silver one, which kinda didnt like at first but stoked with now

 
Went round to mates workshop where Id sprayed the motor, decided the best way to get the motor back to my work without scratching it would be to just put it back in the bike.
So a few Friday night beers and some help from a few of the boys, Mathers, Ed and Cheygen, and its back in the hole

wheres the rust? how bad?

Dick tease

just the tippy tip

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
