I bet the rear wheel weighs a bit - I wonder how much a new tyre will set you back

currently.... No!
but a bit aff swingarm adjustment and frame mount adjusting will hopefully give me the desired amount*......

just wanna sort it in my head before steaming in

*details to follow......... as I work it out

TOUSHAY

[sidmarklong]

Present job location will dictate when. I got about a year to get the parts. then I will be in a place without regular travel and life wont be on hold.
The biggest trick will be to find an engine. From here I will stop. No more talk. Just about when you forget about it, I will probably start.

[sidmarklong]

I'm gonna hit the rack. I'll be back in a few days.

[Sideshow bob]

after a busy week*.....

work starts up again.......

the swingarms back off pending some fitting adjustments.... and as I've nothing better to do I started the polishing process....... BORING!!!

*workwise

[Sideshow bob]

..... after two hours and the loss of my fingerprints*....

It's looking a bit better**

* .... I'm now the perfect burglar***
**GOD!!! this is gunna take forever
*** others may say I shoulda just wear gloves..... for both sanding and burglary....

Rome wasn't built in a say SSB, and like that project, a little burglary will help speed up the process.

and If I get caught.....

Breaking big rocks into littler rocks will be about as exciting

thanks for the encoragement* spina.....

*think i need it.... found myself excitedly watching paint dry earlier...

but,it's getting there............... Slowly

[sidmarklong]

The swing arm is a perfect place to polish. Have I mentioned anything about bank robbery? Of course, you could use a power tool for this part of the project. Magnetic base high torque drill with a carbide/diamond oxide bit, to cut into tumbler box on the safe door. .........*
Okay, I gotta go.

i think stealing the keys would be easier

[sidmarklong]

Yep, I know the frame will take allot more work. When I polished my Gixxer, I used a buffer after I sanded the coating off. I used Mothers polish, comes in a red and white container. Gives a chrome like finish. I used 400gritt and 800gritt paper, then Mothers polish with a buffer for hours. Nice, shinny finish.

Thats better! Now we're getting somewhere butty. Skiddy has the right idea as regards to the buffing me thinks...

[Sideshow bob]

1 more sleep .....

then I off for a week so hopefully get some work done on the fighter

and to get the ball rolling goodies are starting to arrive

[Sideshow bob]

well todays the begining of a week off....

..... with nothing* planned but to work on the blade

shame the weathers decided to blow a gale and lash down

*except now I gunna have to find time to pick up loopys bike

[LoopyLee]

It's not my fault she got a a screw in her tyre and a puncture..

[Sideshow bob]

well I wern't riding her...

anyway.....

Due to the typicaly unreliable british weather and the urge to get summut* done.....

the plan to start repositioning the swingarm was shelved** and I decided to make up an undertail because.....
A) it could be done inside in the warm
B) I need to find out how much room I'll be left with to position other things
C) it could be done in the warm
D) I couldn't think of anything else i could do without spending alot of time in & out of the krappy weather
& finaly
E) because I'd done it before....

yep i've now started the recycling of ideas***..... anyone who's read my other fighter thread will know how this goes..

so quick version
first I made a template outa card, then cut it outa perspex and fitted.. thats it

except this time I decided to use proper fittings from the start**** and bought some well nuts which once inserted into the sub frame give me a nice tight fit
still need to add another couple of mounting points under the seat area, tidy up a bit add the black tint but you get the idea

here some pics*****

*anything as long as it didn't involve getting wet
**pending better weather
***maybe because... i couldnt think of another way, maybe because... I liked the clean tidy look it gave me to Thundergods rear end
****Forgot about these last time and had to botch it later
*****last one is Thundergods tail for comparison & for those who ainy seen it

[sidmarklong]

The big tire will throw allot of stuff up into the tail. Probably need some armor plating to protect the back side. Maybe, some Carbon fibre/Lycra/Airramid laminate's will do it. Yep, plastic or fibreglass, thats fine, fibreglass, yep, just fibreglass* big tire, road grime, yep, gotta cover up the tail,
