Hey Pete. You was a goddamn hippy Actually 35 years or so ago, I looked very similar. Admit it, our bods may have aged but we haven't. We're still dumb arse kids at heart. |

Getting older but no wiser! Just using bigger hammers.
The answer to most problems, fire and lots of it.

I don't feel any different now than I did then. Maybe a few more aches & pains, but I still think exactly the same. Which may not be a good thing!

Messing about with the bike again this week, just to have a break from my truck now that it's running.
Not much to show, but a lot of measuring & tacking together of bits of metal. I'm making a box for the electrical gubbins, but don't want it to look too chunky & slab sided. So I've made a tray, suspending under the seat, with mounting tabs for side panels. The various electrical components will bolt onto it, (probably with the regulator/rectifier underneath so it's in the airflow), then I'll make side panels to suit.
Combined with the access hatch in the pan under the seat, I should have good all round accessibility if I need to get to it. I'll cut the side panels deliberately 10mm short on all sides to leave a gap around the edge of them cos I want to keep it looking "light & airy" rather than solid sided.
The front end of the rear mudguard bolts to the base & I've cut it flush with the underside.
Before you ask, yeah I know there's not enough room to get the battery out. The batt' box is open topped so I can charge it or top it up in situ, but it's held by 4 bolts to the underside of the frame, so I can drop it down to ground level to pull the battery out if necessary.

Coo! Hello stranger! I thought you'd abandoned us for the dark side of sports bike riding. Welcome back my friend. Seat height's maybe 20 inches or so. I'd planned to work on it this afternoon after work, but it was just so hot today I went for a drive in my truck instead! |
