Worldtrip

Because I planned to make a world trip after my studies I have to take this project on hold for 1 year. After that year I looking forward to finish this bike ( just the brakes, exhaust and painting need to be done ).

Thank you for following this project and I hope I see you in one year when I finish the motorcycle!

Update Saddle





Today I received the springs and hinge. So I tested the "traffic sign" saddle but it was ugly as hell. Too small. So I went to a metal shop and got a piece of trash for free. This was excellent, I could make the saddle bigger and larger wish would result in a nicer result.

First I cut the shape out of the metal, free hand drawing and cutting. I welded some bolt on the saddle to make sure it will have a solid connection, because afterwards there will be foam and leather over and then I can not tighten the bolts anymore.

And off course some pictures of the result and instagram picture.

I'm pretty happy with the result, Maybe tomorrow I go to the upholstery for the saddle!

Saddle + Brakes

Finally, exams are finished! I can work now more on the bike. I got it back from the garage and I ordered the brakes. 2 Weeks for delivery. Meanwhile I can make my saddle. Today I made the saddle itself. The springs are ordered. From an old traffic sign I "stole" in my younger years :-) I made the saddle. It is a tight fit because there isn't much of space.  But it works perfectly.

Electrics done !!!!

The new electric wiring is finally done! Now I can start with the drivetrain and brakes. I brought my bike to Motortechnica for the drivetrain, because a good alingment is essential. Then I will order the brakes en install it with some small modifications I guess.
