My name is Russell Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 - keen motorcycles will spot I reckon you modified one peg at a time, what you should have done was cut both of and swapped the "cups" left to right, they only fold slightly forwards, I'm thinking it could be a WOF issue. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnrusty Posted December 3, 2014 Author Share Posted December 3, 2014 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/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnrusty Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnrusty Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 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 Cheers HayHole 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
