ODB Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Thanks for the offer man - but you cant get cheaper than free! Hey Chris, Yeah I think so - this will be on the cards at a later stage. When I get it all set up and running. Re: seat / indicators. Unsure of plans for seat at this stage. Would love a fixed bobber type seat but having to get under it to fill the oil/petrol is a major downer for this plan. Its looking like the colour scheme is gonna be black with flouro wheels. The grips, rear struts and wheels all gonna be same flouro colour so potentially could use the existing seatpan and cut it down and then recover in a matching flouro vinyl.. I wanna run some indicators but some real micro ones - ditto front and rear lights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steelies Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 ah mean, yes free! cheap would = a high five anyways haha anyhow, what was the damage on those risers if you dont mind me asking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODB Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 Got em from eBay for about 45 USD landed I think. Were actually pretty cheap I thought - for 1" OD bars tho - 7/8" would have been better but oh well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlownCorona Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 you can get honda dax indicators on ebay, they look like the factory indicators but tiny. and are 6v which is harder to come buy these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ODB Posted August 25, 2013 Author Share Posted August 25, 2013 Hooked in again today. Parts bike stripped a fair bit. Got wheels, guard, a bit of wiring out etc. Took chain guard off main bike to get it looking a bit leaner and meaner haha Back wheel on main bike is pretty buckled (as you can see in above photo). CBF to try and true it. Both wheels off parts bike are fairly good so will send em to be sandblasted and powder coated in due course. Also both inner tubes are good off parts bike so bonus! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ODB Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 New bars finished and sprayed black. Trial fitment on the bike. Will need to try and lower the risers somehow but I think its promising! Will see what it looks like without the black plastic immediately below the risers I guess and go from there. Sweet riding position though comfy as haha 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ODB Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share Posted August 31, 2013 Planning to chop a square out of the seat and move the bolt on point forward ie make it a single seat. Will still clip onto factory front mount. Will rip all padding off and make it a slim line. Kinda thinking brown fake leather look lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ODB Posted September 4, 2013 Author Share Posted September 4, 2013 In the immortal words of 'Cube: Parts showed up and this thing is kinda coming together. Throttle assembly arrived along with 2 sets of new brake shoes from Wemoto. Grips here a few days ago. Obligatory pics: Grip test fit - squeezed onto larger bars with the old WD40 trick with other parts. Now waiting on throttle cable! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
