Kimjon Posted June 13, 2023 Author Posted June 13, 2023 Im on the fence regarding this. Its cable tied there badly for the purpose of the photo. Obviously I need to cut it up, to get it sitting better etc. The only reason I'm thinking of the fairing is to hide the ugly of my digital speedo. If I could get a small speedo I'd probably shift away from the fearing. 50/50...will give it some absorption time to think about it some more. 3 Quote
Kimjon Posted June 14, 2023 Author Posted June 14, 2023 Main reason for the fairing is to hide all the ugly, like cables, wiring looms, and digital speedo etc I think it looks pretty tidy. It's not actually installed in these photos, just boogied up with cable ties, etc...but gives a pretty good idea of the look it'll achieve. Paint will tie it all back together when its done. Looks a bit disconnected at the moment. 6 Quote
Kimjon Posted June 16, 2023 Author Posted June 16, 2023 Last photo for today...time to switch off from designing and building stuff. I feel its beer o'clock 4 1 Quote
Lord Gruntfuttock Posted June 16, 2023 Posted June 16, 2023 I highly approve a properly crimped and heat sleeved connection... 2 Quote
Kimjon Posted June 23, 2023 Author Posted June 23, 2023 I got this tool the other day...what a fabulous invention. Its a pipe linisher that goes on an angle grinder. Made my shitty flap disc job look amazing in no time. The photo about was after about a minutes worth of linishing. The tightly curved parts of this sub frame still require more work - I'll buy some of the skinny belts to do that. 10/10 would recommend this tool. 5 1 Quote
sheepers Posted June 25, 2023 Posted June 25, 2023 where did you get it/what brand/is it a decent tool? been keen on one of those linishers for a while but never got one..... 1 Quote

Its just an Aliexpress version. About $150 landed with a handful of belts. I can't see a more expensive one offering any advantages over this one, as its just two ideler pulleys and a driver that goes on the grinder spigot. Only thing I changed was a cheap Phillips head screw for a m6 Allen cap screw. Be easy to make one, but at that price why would you. 2 Quote
Kimjon Posted July 1, 2023 Author Posted July 1, 2023 So, I ordered these without the hole. Didn't want bar end indicators then. But now I do. Oh well, this oughta work... 8 Quote
Kimjon Posted July 7, 2023 Author Posted July 7, 2023 Instagram ready photo...aka, mocked up with duct tape. But after fettling it into 4 different hights and 4 different offsets fore and aft I settled on this position. Ideally id like it another 10mm back towards the tank, but its already created endless issues with cables and wiring. 3 Quote
Kimjon Posted July 8, 2023 Author Posted July 8, 2023 Fairing mounted...well 2 points on the top. Ill save you the details...it was a fucker to figure out. Bottom will be harder, but easier. Harder because there's no obvious places to connect to or from...easier because once I decide hiw to do it, it's already sitting in place, so I can measure off fixed points. 2 Quote
Kimjon Posted July 8, 2023 Author Posted July 8, 2023 Bracket so far...keeps getting more complicated. Its dropped 60mm, moved forwards, has extra wings etc... Quote
Kimjon Posted July 8, 2023 Author Posted July 8, 2023 Bottom bracket sorted. Needs a tidy up, but its functional now. 8 Quote
anglia4 Posted July 17, 2023 Posted July 17, 2023 Something about that front end has just looked unbalanced to me and I've stared at it for ages trying to work out what it is... Are the forks on the wrong sides? - So the calipers should be underneath? 2 Quote
