Completing the disassemble of the bike today so it can go for sand blasting and powder coated
Had a load of parts delivered this week from all over the world just awaiting some parts from Europe.
I ordered new foot peg rubbers and the gasket washers for the exhaust guard also new bearing for the shaft.
Frame,fork trees,swing arm,stand and wheels getting blasted and coated
Only engine parts to buy thank god, then to refurb the motor and reassemble. Cleaning every other part along the way.
Today the plastics seat and tank got delivered!
It looks ok and I’m looking forward to getting it all back together, Curtis has sorted a place that’s going to blast and powder coat all the parts , wheels, frame ect.
Today I also ordered front and rear shoes and a throttle and oil cable. I also ordered a complete new nut and bolt kit.
All that is needed now is engine parts and paint for shaft housing ect. I think… (well hope) that is now it and Iv done all buying required less the engine.
This bike is going to be sweet and like new cant wait to see Finley’s face.
See pictures of the engine and frame, i gave it a quick blast of degreaser and power washed alot of the crap off it. will give frame to Curtis to prep and paint, the motor has come hme with me to be fully taken down and rebuilt.
Good news the oil pump is all there and looks clean, also dropped the oil and it looked ok.
Now for the fun it of preping and painting any thing that looks dated, today the swing arm and drive shaft casing was also added to the list of parts to paint.
Today got to work on taking the rest of the bike apart, it is very dirty and is going to need alot of cleaning and TLC, cable refrenced the wiring loom so hopefully will be ok to go back together
Starting to think that maybe would have just been easier to get him a new bike, this is going to be a full nut and bolt job !
Today the tyres and tubes got delivered. The old ones were not to bad but as Curt will need to take them off to paint the rims I might as well replace them.
Still to buy, foot peg rubbers, piston, small end bearing, crank shaft bearings, cables and any other bits I forgot.
P.s front fender brackets also got delivered today.
Just a quick update on the bike. The weather has been shocking and Iv been playing golf so haven’t progressed much with it.
Ordered new tyres and inertubes also full set of new plastics graphics and seat.
This is going to be a full restoration and going to take a little while as i live in a flat and work is being done at friends workshops ect when I’m free.
Hoping to get to work on it this week and looki to have it all done by September for Fin’s birthday.
