Thanks for that, any pictures and ideas are always welcome Gives me something to aim for Regards |
New Picture Just found this which is just like the bike I am building With different colours though ![]() Tank is off to powdercoaters and the ally bits are in for cleaning and blasting, I may then get them anodised Looking forward to getting started on the build Buying clocks, headlight, indicators and tail light are next on the agenda Going to start fibreglassing a tail unit as I cant find anyone who makes them |
Update 21 Dec 2011 Just updated the seat unit thread The tank ended up with dust under the powdercoating so they had another go but the same thing happened again After Christmas its going back to be stripped again and re-done They are a good bunch of guys and these things happen Anyone wanting the contact details let me know They are near Bradford in West Yorkshire The brightwork has been blasted and looks a treat This gives an idea of what it will look like ![]() |
I assume the wood will go - its just part of the mould? |

Oh! Do I have to remove it :eek: Seriously though, yep it will be 'glassed over I have now done the fibreglassing so will post pictures soon |
DuCafe update Now making the first attempt to rebuild the bike Started by putting engine on blocks and getting frame on ![]() Once secured I have strapped it up to the scaffold pole that is fitted to the walls in my office:lol: Then its a case of adding bits ![]() And more bits ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Found that one of the fork legs is longer than the other so a strip and rebuild is on the cards There is a guy on ebay selling skf front wheel bearings for £6 posted The steering head bearings cost £31 each from Ducati Learnt my lesson there:eek: The tank is back at the powdercoaters to be stripped and re-coated Whilst it has the coat stripped off I will be getting a few areas leaded as its not quite perfect One thing I have learnt is that even when things are bagged and labelled things still don't fit:lol: |
I'd still love to strip my race back like this but don't have the balls...something will not go back for sure! maybe next winter.... |
