Dezza Posted October 21, 2017 Posted October 21, 2017 Nice neat solution. Mine's still going under the seat though to appease my vanity Quote
caferacerdan Posted October 25, 2017 Posted October 25, 2017 (edited) very neat solution for the coolers. looks like there plenty of room for it on the frame too! then again it did originally have a full radiator there! Edited October 25, 2017 by caferacerdan Quote

No chance I cant afford another divorce, the last one cost me an arm and a leg and 2 bikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this project might have been a bit ambitious 1 Quote
nlovien Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 na, its just the bench marks and goal posts may need a bit of tweaking - enjoy succeeding in bite sized chunks take a chill and go read some Robert Pirsig 1 Quote
fatblokeonbandit Posted October 26, 2017 Author Posted October 26, 2017 Nah read that once, fell asleep half way through this might have to go in the back of shed with a cover on it for a few months whist I sort all the other stuff out Quote
clivegto Posted October 26, 2017 Posted October 26, 2017 Sounds like a plan that FB then go back to it in a while with new enthusiasm. 1 Quote
fatblokeonbandit Posted October 27, 2017 Author Posted October 27, 2017 last bit done today as it will have to be stuck away for a couple of months at least 2 Quote
nlovien Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 agree ref: the Pirsig thing, I only got into it after the 4th attempt - in Scotland that's a sign of being thran thing is - the point of taking the pleasure versus frustration from achieving the small part in its own right, work's for me - almost!! - problem I now have is I get sucked into enjoying making detail - not so good at finishing a project though, but then again these things never really get finished - project bikes always need another tweak take a bow for the work you have already done - the inspiration for the next bit will come is it Sunday ?

fatblokeonbandit Posted October 28, 2017 Author Posted October 28, 2017 Plan "D" get it running and MOT'd and flog it ??? Quote
Swirl Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Plan E stick in the shed with a cover over and come back to it after Xmas when your mojo is back Quote
fatblokeonbandit Posted October 28, 2017 Author Posted October 28, 2017 that was plan C, its not just the mojo, its the space , lack of money, soo much other stuff to do, you know boring "life" stuff.. work, taking her on holiday, fixing stuff in the house, and 3 more motor bikes that need looking after. Ive just tapped up a mate done the road with a huge garage to borrow some space for a few months, so we shall see 1 Quote
nlovien Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 you got plan - "trick and treat" - works for me the mountain of shit in front of you never gets smaller - it just gets pushed along - no point in floggin yirsel sort a chunk on the list - treat yirsel to a tweak on the bike - as said you'll never shift the mountain but the bike will then get finished I've just finished making my stacks - enjoyed making them - job done - price ?? - cost me to sand the front door crap job, took longer than making the stacks - hayho, I got my stacks - good lady got the door sanded - to varnish it is now on the mountain of shit list, thats going to cost her a rear wheel spacing Quote
fatblokeonbandit Posted October 29, 2017 Author Posted October 29, 2017 Had a quick few hours to put the right rear wheel in so that all the major parts are on and in the right place, just need a ton of brackets/spacers/hoses/cables and wiring to do.. now its off to another garage for a few months whilst i try and sort everything else out 2 Quote
Gixer1460 Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 That is a pretty damn good lookin' motorsickle - put it to bed for the winter, fresh for springtime. Quote
