Some more progress, made 7 disc bobbins from stainless, need to machine some reliefs into the adapter, add some holes then swage it all together. Bought some new pads, which line up exactly with the disc face width.
Need to make a calliper spacer and hopefully will have a front brake - halleluia.
Rubbed down some primer, bought some black 2 pack for the bits inside and underneath the frame, can't wait to get it on the road.

Now to start the rebuild. I fancy blasting and painting the rocker cover the same colour - what do you think?
The front forks have to come apart, the disc adapters need finishing, and the calliper mounting needs making.
Plenty to do still.

Yeah, colour matching the engine to the frame would be nice. Reminds me of the blue on my first ever trike. It was powder-coated in Arga cooker blue with a black frame. I was at the coaters, collecting bike parts, last week & Craig the owner said Have a look at this -he dragged a wrought iron garden bench over to me. Recognise the colour? It's the blue we did your first trike in. The box of powder's been sat on the shelf ever since.  |

My "first ever trike" hmm, well this one is a rehash of a good/bad creation. I hope I've kept the good bits (original bike frame front end, front wheel, forks, metalflaked tank, sidecovers, mudguards and lamp housing), other than that its all new.
So will I build a new, or my first? Yes I think so, I have a jig/frame a power unit (xj650 turbo) and some ideas, so it will be on. If I get that far, a v6 compact 2 seater is next up in my head, but who knows?
One step at a time...

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

Battery box and battery fitted, made sense of the wiring, cleaned the fuse-holder and changed the m6 stainless bolt-fuse (no kidding). My haynes manual is useless at identifying which fuse does what, so i noted the colours from behind the holder, will try to decipher which does what tomorrow, and what rating it should have.
Forks, front wheel and disc tomorrow hopefully, then make the calliper mount.
