Back in the garage this evening, I cut out & welded an end cap on my speedo pod thingy.

One what exactly? I'm off to visit Mr SaddleBags in his Shiny Thing Grotto again later. He's drilled the top yoke to accept my bars.

Ahh. Much sought after they are.  We've got to build one for Mr Bags in the very near future, down at Saddlebags Enterprises inc. Gather your parts together & we could build 2 at the same time. What's the chances of us getting the parts mixed up & fitting your axle to his frame?! |

Hey, I forgot to ask this morning -what magic did you use to remove that drill bit I busted off in my yoke?

Well, one step forward & another back tonight. That's about normal really.
Collected my yoke from Mr Bags this afternoon. He's drilled it for the handlebar bolts, with countersunk holes so the allen bolt heads finish flush with the underside of the yoke. Then he's countersunk the top face so that the risers slot into the yoke, rather than just bolting to it. Very nice.
Then I buggered it up. Screwed the bolts into the risers. No problem. Unscrewed them. Argh! One came out easily but the other jammed. No idea why -like it was cross-threaded but it went in O.K. It ended up seizing completely. Couldn't even budge it with my favourite hammer. Could've given it back to Mr Bags to drill out & retap for me but it was easier to just cut the end off the riser & make up a new captive nut. That's done so I'll weld it in tomorrow & be back where I was before I started tonight. Ho hum.
Anyway, here's a couple of snaps of the story so far.

I've taken the fork top nuts off to remove the top yoke, so the front end's sunk a few inches in these piccies.
Not really much more to add to the frame now.
Master cylinder mounts.
Clutch slave cylinder mount.
Battery box mounts.
A bit of filing & general cleaning up then it's ready for powder coating, but while it's all together I'll also make up the handbrake cable mounts that will weld to the axle & the steering stops on the bottom yoke. Also the master cylinder reservoir mounts that will bolt to the top of the gearbox.
It's getting there -slowly.
