hey guys so just a couple of updates, been a bit swamped with uni so haven't gotten that much done.
Decided on upswinging the back so cut out and welded it on. Turned out alright.
Also fabricated a seat for myself, dunno how it'll go but it was kinda cheap (currently getting upholstered which was only $120 so i'm not complaining). If it turns out crap i guess i'll have to settle for the loss and figure out a way to get it from DCC without paying $300 for shipping. (I'm heading to the states in november for a month so maybe i'll see how it goes then).
Primed and painted the frame, matte black turned out very nice (sanded and sprayed it about 3 times to get it to where i'd be happy).
Also wrote a quick CAD CNC script for top triples. Looks v nice and currently getting anodized black.
Carb rebuilt didnt take that long once i started reading up on them. The next big thing will be setting them when the bike is back to working action so more reading for that one.
Still unsure about the white tank...if im going to change it it'll definitely be the last thing i do once the bike is complete (easy paint fix).
What needs to be done: electrical (lighting, gauges, switches, etc), exhaust (i was thinking of wrapping it cause when finished i think it looks cool, also chroming that bad boy is way too expensive, cheaper to buy a completely new one), general putting it back together (i found the smaller things are much harder than the bigger objective i.e. engine easier than electronics). I've given myself an estimated finish date of October (mainly cause i see it happening by then) but it depends on the seat as well as timing (uni is becoming a bit more full on) as well as funds (poor uni student as per usual). So i guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Any queries, questions or comments are always welcome.
