Especially the red ones Steel plate for the yokes has arrived. Think I'm going to need a lot of hacksaw blades as they are 20mm thick. Just looking at it makes my arms ache. I am just going out, to the garage. I may be some time. (Apologies to Capt. L Oates) |

 Watched another of his vids. He's a hoot. That was 6mm plate he was cutting. Burnt out my jigsaw last time I tried something over 12mm thick. Will probably get some thin cutting discs for the angle grinder. It annoys the neighbours

Bring it over to Loony's workshop Dave -the neighbours are used to us using angle grinders.
Bet Heather the post lady loved you for making her lug that steel about.

Luckily for her some other poor postie had to carry it I'd forgotten quite how heavy 20mm steel is. Have spent two hours roughing out the top yoke. This could take a while. |

Top yoke. Just roughed out.
Once finished it should look like a forging.

The neighbours will be happy. Lots of smoke and not a lot of go from the angle grinder  Yep the motor caught fire Never mind there is still the hacksaw and hand files, till I can get another. It's just a hell of a lot slower  |

Angle grinder situation sorted + picked up a new 25mm drill bit, to bore the yokes for the headstock stem.
Bored the top one out on the lathe using a 4 jaw chuck and kept the speed down to about 60 rpm as it was so unbalanced.
Also drilled the riser mount holes.

Steering stem carefully removed from a Z750 bottom yoke. Seemed a shame to cut it up, but the yoke wasn't in great condition, it will save a lot of machine time and I know that it will fit.

Bottom yoke slab roughed out and bored with a fine taper for the first 3mm to aid pressing in the steering stem.
Will press together later once I have finished shaping the yoke and got some more propane.
