Crack on Russ!!
Gave the top clamp a lick of pint last night should be ready to refit after work and put on switchgear grips etc..
Also cleaned the calipers right up and was going to go black caliper paint but after I taped em all up I started to think maybe leave them gold?? not sure yet.
gold looks good mate
Glenn Eason drinks and smokes and lends his arse to other blokes
Yeah might leave em gold for now Blaster, they're a bit pitted from 12 years of use but they're in pretty good nick..
Fit all the business bits today.. the renthal grips were a bitch to get on, very very tight I ended up snapping the little locating pin on the starter switch gear fucking pain in the ass like 2 mins after I drilled the bar and fitted it too..
I use hairspray to get my grips on they just slide on nicely whilst its nice and wet then the next day there set and ive never had a grip move after . Compressed air gun is also a good one for getting them on too just the tip of the gun under the lip trigger wide open and just slide them on
Shes looking the goods anyways gitzy
Cheers Scotty, I use a spray bottle with soapy water it's never been an issue putting grips on, they slide straight on then dry etc you know the drill but these renthal road/race grips were way too small on the I.D. the left side went on ok but the throttle side no dice.
I had to slice off the raised edge from the Suzuki plastic throttle and all the ridges along it actually come straight through the grip.
Had a fiddle today with the air intakes, nothing too fancy, just make a template for the mesh cut some staino mesh stick it in with some selleys clear, run a bead around the rubber mounts and reaply to frame..
Also fitted the Rad and Oil cooler Guards.. bit more protection now..
The mask arrived in the post today to.. drilled some holes to fit the headlight. Just need to fab up some mounts...
Good good.
What's the mask?
Its a Pleiadescustomz , Shop in Turkey Rich..

Here is the back of the headlight, the bolt and nut setup works well to adjust the mask independently of the light itself..
Knocked up this little bracket this morning, very simple but it will do the trick very nicely..
When it's painted it should blend in and not be overly noticeable..
In case you were wondering what it bolts to, there are two nicely tapped holes in the lower triple for a plastic scoop thing from when the fairing was fitted.. so that's quite handy..
Pic for ref.
Nice! Good work Gitzy.
You shit me with your good fabricating skills! The crap I make looks like a blind retarded sea otter had his first go at welding.....
If I had a dollar for every time I thought about you, I'd start thinking about you
