Progress update.
Exhaust on
Wheels on
Rear and front break set up
Clutch cable

Was going to put the chain on but the chain that came with the swingarm is too short because it is catered for a 45 teeth rear sprocket not a 50.
This will give me a chance to get a black sprocket for the back.

Finally got on to doing some more, was waiting on a few parts to be painted.
I picked the engine mount and spring from the powder coater early Saturday morning. The two crucial parts before i could go any further. Firstly i changed the engine case bolts with a kit i bought of ebay. The swing arm and shock where then mounted followed by the engine. Finally the bike is coming together and looking great. Next step hopefully get the wheels on, would of liked to do this first but was unable due to the shop not having the bearing i needed in stock.

Ready for paint.

Tonnes of stuff done today.
Removed the engine and steering column from the frame.
Then hacked into the unwanted plastic mounting tabs with the angle grinder.
Got the bearings out of the wheels. Now the frame and wheels are ready to be powder coated satin black.

Found this awesome looking build on the net. Love the green tank and front fender along with the cargo net on the back.




Box with the posh "hollow kit" from VANEM arrived. Unfortunately no shops stock the battery required for the transfer. Looks like it will be another week before i get stuck into it.
