some of you may or may not know, but my wife is preg... so i am selling a good amount of my bikes. Pulled the cafe out to prep it up... and well... spoke to Tim from in the shop, he had nothing going on... told me to just bring it up to the shop and he and i would work on it saturday... about 2o hours later hahahah we got in a bit deep, now it has became a complete redo. hahaha well a good part of it at least is getting redone
work done:
wheels coated
dyna beads installed
fresh bearings
swing arm coated
swing arm spindall bungs welded in
brake arm fabbed and installed
VM carbs mounted and ready to install
prob more i am sure i missing someting
here are some pics... fresh out of the back of the shop:
looking rough
about an hour later
I really like using a sport bike stand so Tim made some bungs for me and welded those on... then got rid of the polished swing arm and color matched to the frame (with a few other odds and ends)
freshly coated
then on to the brake arm, the old one.... well it sucked! Thankfully Tim was able to come up with something much better!
here is the side by side with the **** old one and the newly bent/welded
welded the threads on the round bar and the clevis to make it work
then assembly (it was late and i wanted to get home, so i did not snap pics of us putting in bearings and installing tires hahahaha)
on the trailer headed home
few pics i snapped this morning just mocking up the tins and seat
more to come!!!
