Minor frustrations

Sunday, 6 April 2014

With the frame back from the welders I decide to build up the front end. 
Annoyingly there are some fixings missing from the kit and the included wheel/brake caliper axle spacers are not the right size. Thankfully they are oversize, so I can modify them to suit. I just need to find a lathe I can borrow or someone who will do it cheaply for me.

Happy with the forks though, they look good.

I will give my friends at P&D a call and see if they will do me a favour.

I am very happy with the frame. I located the rear wheel over the weekend.
The fender will need to be modified. I will round the corners at the rear.
I will profile this once I have the front fender located and the tank, giving me a full picture of what is required. 
I do plan on adding a spine to the rear fender to match the gas tank, also a cover for the left rear hub which would normally hold the rear brake disc. As this is redundant due to the brakester setup.
