The project started with a bare 900GTS frame and tired '91 900SS engine, each purchased for 250 quid Some may find the following butchery offensive: Fabricated the Y by cutting and splicing tube Made a roller to fabricate the megaphone....notice the Harley kicker for a handle and moped front sprokets
Wish I had the confidence to start and indeed finish a project. Im still pleased with my self when I manage to change a few parts over. Really looking forward to seeing the finished result. Just make sure you finish
Nice work! Just my two ha'porth... I have a similar home brewed rear caliper hanger, based around the Superlight type, to give a floating action, and as soon as there was any wear in the bush which the spindle passes through, the caliper mounting bolts wore a groove in the disc. I sorted it in a MkII version, which had a grease nipple, and a tighter interference fit. Just got my lathe up and running last week. Don't think that Im competent enough yet with it to attempt anything too complex though!
I love the 500, what happened to it? Actually I like all of it really - kick starting an Alfa :biggrin: amazing work!!
The update is the bike was finished and was voted the forum bike of the year, awarded in Darren's name after his passing. Check out the thread, I'm on my phone so can't link fom here.
