Things are starting to take shape now, Richard has finished the electrics and we now have power Viv has also fitted the Domino QA throttle And then got on with the aluminium pipework which is replacing the rubber hoses. He's using Wiggins clips from aerospace applications for a watertight fit Over the weekend the pipework will be finished and the custom exhaust made. We're also modifying the tank ready to go to paint on Monday
Really nice build. Never heard of Wiring4bikes, but that looks like the same Richard who runs Motorcycle wiring Specialists? ! He did a custom loom for my 900SS Trackbike / Sunday bike. Absolutely top notch and highly recommended. http://www.motorcyclewiringspecialists.co.uk/
Water system is now done Airbox is modified and fitted Under tray made and fitted Then we moved onto getting the tank modified to fit the Domiracer seat unit Now its off to paint. Viv has a couple of contacts and so we dropped it off for paint with a 24hr turnaround. Judging by the metal sat round in prep I'm sure it's going to be a top job! The exhaust system is being made as we speak so in the next couple of days it should be finished!!
That place looks like a real Aladdin's cave. Your bike is in good company, and I'm looking forward to seeing the final results.'
Today Viv finished up shaping the undertray.... And we picked the tank and seat unit up from paint What do you think?
Wow amazing, although i am a tad disappointed as the exhaust was on a 24 hr turn around and no piccies of it yet
Haha - it will be finished today. Just had to wait for the seat unit to come back to finalise position of the end cans
So final update before its done and we show it to everyone. I wanted the seat pad we put on it to be the same high quality as the rest of the bike so sticking some foam usually found on a race bike wasn't going to cut it.I also didn't want to stick on an off the shelf vinyl pad which wasn't designed for this seat to be put on. Whenever I've had cars trimmed in the past I've used Dave The Trimmer based in Milton Keynes. He's usually knee deep in classic Aston's, Porsches and numerous other exotica so I knew my seat would be in safe hands. True to form with the rest of this build I needed a quick turnaround so I dropped it off with Dave this morning looking like this... By 11 I had these pictures from where he'd made a fibreglass base for the seat and had the foam cut and on... And by 4pm had these... Charcoal alcantara with a red stitch. The fit and finish as expected is perfect Tomorrow we are going to build the bike back up. Check every nut and bolt and take it for its maiden journey. I'll post pictures of the finished bike with very special exhaust asap
Dear lord that's a thing of beauty. Forgive me if I'm repeating someone as I have not read it all, just scrolled down and looked at pics, may I ask what the predicted final build cost will be ?? Tell me to sod off if you wish, was merely curious
