[yantosh]

I am so glad someone asked that question. I kinda hoped it was beer pumps of some sort !

Nice! Next question... what’s it for 

[yantosh]

air tools, air gun, normal compressor things

[Tombola]

Fair enough, I’ll stop being nosey. All them solenoids had me intrigued  

[yantosh]

why its so fancy ? who knows , looks good tho 

[yantosh]

freshly built tee ell engine , can I sneak over to Edinburgh next to collect me wheels ......

[yantosh]

i sincerely hope that's the engine and arm in for good , place is mid renovation and I can't find the grease for the head bearings , so the forks can wait 

[yantosh]

grease got and legs on , side stand on (without stabbing myself in the hand.... pure luck) and a temporary rear wheel thrown in. I'll grab a temporary front tomorrow, let me add more bits and move it about without wearing it 

 

 

[yantosh]

a lot further from completion than the photo might suggest 

[yantosh]

so much for the looking like it was done , arm back out  and the dodgy nylon sleeves removed ..... glad I remembered that , sneaky suspicion  the bearing will hold up better , and since the telly box is shit I'll just stay out and refit the arm 

[yantosh]

proper wheels are in , spent the day bolting bits on,  but its too dark and wet to get it outside for a decent photo , but I can now write a snagging list

 

 

[yantosh]

rolled outside for a look. Still needs the tank panels , but they are getting wrapped just now 

 

 

[vizman]

I don’t like the number board*.....but everything else is bitchin’

 

 

 

*don’t know if it’s just the angle or pure jealousy 

[yantosh]

i was looking at a lot of KTM when i made the number board , when I get the tank panels back on it might flow better ? 

[yantosh]

graphics are printed, 3 diff sizes, best fit gets fitted, once they have de-gassed 

 

 

[yantosh]

needed a 24mm allen key to tighten up the front spindle,  but I appear not to have one , no mind... i have a welder  and as luck would have it, M16 bolts and nuts have 24mm hex 

 

spindle tightened 

 

[yantosh]

more butchery of M16 nuts,  had to tighten the oil filter post ,  but it has no tightenuppers,  Soooooooo, turn the M16 nuts into M20 x 1 half nuts and off we go 

 

[yantosh]

wheel threw back in with the new bits , no point in pic, just looks the same 

 

then spend a couple of hours trying to get brake pedal in the right place, eventually  did , but the clevis thingy was fully unscrewed, so that needs a bit of altering tomorrow . The clevis pins were just bought,  £4 for two, not worth the effort 

 

 

[yantosh]

clevis thing altered, blasted and painted 

 

brake pedal assembly assembled
