I was wondering what had happened to this one. Was looking promising I thought.

I haven,t got any photos of the seat on just yet.....Ive cut it down even further so its just a plastic seat pan now. I wanted to have a go at creating something at the back end with a bit of shape to it.I had half of a mudguard at the back of the garage which gave me an idea for making a tail piece.

I first cut the mudguard straight down the middle.

I then added a piece of steel in the middle,shaped at the top to fit around the seat,and tapering down to where the light will be.

I offered it up on the bike,supported with a bit of plate clamped up on the frame.

Ive now found another problem. The clocks are damaged,so i thought i could do a way with the tacho and just get the speedo refurbed by my mate. He refurbs suzuki gt750 clocks for the kettle club,and does a brilliant job. Any way,i unbolted the light and started to undo the clocks only to find that the ignition switch is cracked and hanging loose.Will have to get a new one of e.bay.
I want to have just a single clock,and ime tempted to buy a digital cockpit of ebay as well. They are multi-functional with every thing that a modern bike would need. The thing is,I only need a speedo and tacho plus the indicator lights and high beam /neutral light. Do you just leave all the other wires unpluged for things like oil/water temp and fuel gauge?

Hi.Just a few more photos of the progress.Rather than do a complete strip down,I simply masked off the engine,and resprayed the frame around it. I,ve also rubbed the casings down and repainted them with heat resistant black enamel paint.

Ive bought a new filler cap,ignition barrel and a new speedo. I wanted to do away with those big ugly clocks anyway,and the tacho was wrecked and smashed.Stripped all the idiot lights off and made an aluminium bracket to support the new clock.

Ive got a small tail light to fit on the back end which Iv,e still got to get sorted.....but this is going to remain the basic shape.Iv,e cut the sponge to a rough shape but I might try and get the guy whos going to re-cover it,to put some more sponge in the rear end to give it more of a humped shape.
