The Hobo

[Surt]

long time no updates, just in the awe of posting too many pics. but the longer delay, the more pics to upload, so let us proceed...
occasionally bought this 203 mm brake disc, but it didnt fit onto the stocky break disc hub, its i.d. is smaller than hubs thread! i.d. 34mm v m35x1. firstly i put it away, but a few mos later i figured out how to fit it. i ordered a fatter hub so that the disc hanged in the air being centered separately on a special centering cylinder with m35x1 tread cut, and 2 threads were cut off to make 34mm diameter which centered the disc. then i drilled tapped the hub, and now the front brake disc is bigger than [it was] on my ole good civic [it was 200mm non vent and i converted it for the rear hubs, and fitted 260mm vented on the front]

fitted normal 2 yoke forks, they are made of ally and magnesium therefore are even much lighter, then the 1st steel ones. i wouldnt feel confident with one yoke forks. naturally, have to fab new stem and nuts. the frame and swinger with links were powder coated

on a side note, pics whorring is very useful for myself, e.g. ive lost all my old pics on the hades ride, so have to use my own thread as an assembling manual!

[Surt]

had to re install old forks while fabbing a much longer stem nut whichs gunna serve also as bars mount. firsty i intended to use 2 motorcycles risers, but in that case the bars would have been too close to me, causing not comfy riding position.
also fabbed the seat subby, the seat went back further than expected. i also wanted to fab a dirt bike style seat, but due to the lack of time, forsook it for a while. fabbing the central stand is another story, much unexpected pain in arse, but i considered as a must. not finished in the photo.

everythings ready for the 1st start up. btw, it was in the booth of my truck, a size real matters

[Surt]

and the first start up at long last, nice and easy, no fucking with lappy, just pull the string and enjoy the music

[Surt]

wtf happened to fresh pics?
however. back home, re welded the temporary zorst

[Surt]

fabbed the righteous muffler, according to a 2 stroke calculator. other parts will be fabbed later



an od 16x1.5mm stainless pipe, 240 holes, ally and stainless flanges and a 65mm intercooler piping cut off, here we go

[Surt]

wanted 2 light bars for the headlight, but they all are 12v, so after long searching on the web, i found a torch that i liked. inventing how to fix it on the bike was another task, solved





also wanted a tacho/speedo combo in motorcycle style and after long searches sourced these. again, inventing how to fix em on the bike was another task, solved 2

[Surt]

made the tension roller, rear brake lever, the chain and gear selector adjusted. now just gotta sort out the fenders and tail light... and the central stand, the bloody central stand!

[Surt]

showing off





never showed it folded









the king pin

[Surt]

the central stand sorted. needed it badly to hold the bike while folding and folded





the fenders are next

[Surt]

on a side note, also straightened strengthened a garden wheelbarrow made from .8mm wall tubes and an even thinner metal sheet



a pretty business, now i cant upload more pics in i post

[Surt]

a duck style wheel barrow...

hmm fuck shit cunt some how exceeds 27 kb?! i thought i could grow bigger lol
anyway, picked up the duck style wheel barrow, bikes, tools and all the other shit and drove to the country side

[Surt]

all i can say, the bloody thing is scarry, its too light and you cant brake with the engine, but its fun to ride

painted 30+ parts for the bike, panels, mounts, small shit. fabbed a heat protection cover on zorst













been to busy to ride during the summer, but before going home, decided to ride out one for the road. like i said its a fun to ride, nice riding position, intuitive access to controls, just a usual bike, just keep squeezing the clutch lever when braking. brakes are good too, the front one is a tad sluggish but predictable, the rear one can be easily blocked

[Nudie]

Bloody brilliant that thing (and you too obviously)

oh, happy birthday for the other day
