C & J project 2

[sudman]

Parting out the old race bike for the new sideport project



The new frame fresh from the states, nickel needs work.



Set out

[sudman]

There was no swingarm with the frame & I had no luck finding one so after some looking around a TS250ER swingarm was the correct size with a few mods.

[sudman]

Frame back from the platers, TM BIll supplied the triple clamps


I did not plate the swing arm at this stage as I may make changes.

Tank back from the painters

Looks good sudman, theres nothing better than putting all the bits together its going to look trick by the looks of it..
looks like a winter project in NZ late nights in the shed,,Love the black tank must be dedicated to the world cup RUGBY

[sudman]

Thanks Mick the world cup had not even crossed my mind good idea, I have been toying with names for the bike but had not settled on anything, should get the motor cleaned up & in over the weekend, cheers for the comments bro

I see what you meant about your fabricated/modified swing arm there Tony, very nicely done.
This frame looks to have the shock mounts quite a bit more vertical than your other bike
I'll look forward to seeing it in the flesh at some stage this year

[sudman]

Hi Tony, mate you are welcome to come around anytime as we only live a few streets apart.

[sudman]

Had a few days off so I spent the time in the shed

Wow the bike is really starting to look the part, who did the plating. ??

[sudman]

Frame was done by the local guy here in Palmerston North.

[sudman]

And now it's all done

[sudman]

Taking it out for a ride tomorrow, it was a fast motor when it was in the the old XL frame & now it's 15kg lighter.

Looks great Tony
