pugeyed

you asked me to send you the "other" link later dave or am i getting confused again lol

http://motorivista.com/ think there is a bike here for everybody..........

well tonight's episodue looks at the wiring loom. x2 looms came with the bike 1 very good and 1 that looked like it had been attacked with a chain saw. so i started stripping the old tired loom tape off and retaping so the loom kept its original shape have only found x2 repairs in the whole loom so looking good. here is the pile of old stuff i took off. and found some nice woven stuff to go over the straight bits. next thing to do is put it on the bike and work out which bits need extending, battery terminals for one etc.

nice one dave , glad the weather was nice for you!

bargain for the money! even it it needs a few little bits, no rush over the winter!

pics? good progress gaz! say hello to fr499y (matt) for me

cheers people,nice colours arnt they dick. im not doubting my decision but just thinking about it lol

well headers turned up and they are complete garbage, rotten in 3-4 places so they are going back! this week have been working on my seat/tail section and front mudguard. cut down the sides of the seat so it matches the bottom line of the tank and rubbed the cone down to bare fibreglass and gave it a coat of primer, still needs lots more work yet. chopped the sides off the front mudguard and took off id say 12-14 layers of paint, right back to original fibreglass, this took about 7 hours of sanding off and on so doesnt look like much work but hands are sore now lol. still needs chopping to size still a bit long. parts arrived from the netherlands , new fork drain screws to go in my polished legs, and new bottom fork bolts. here is what the whole lot together looks like still need to fill with oil and am waiting for some stainless fork caps to be made from a chap in scotland. once i get my refund from my crap headers i can buy a new front tyre and mount the front wheel.

would love to matey, but just sorned the bandit and am away all weekend in crewe seeing the in-laws.

yeah dont worry ill get me money back, just a pain you dont need the hassle. big update on mine coming soon.

hullo and welcome

jaysus thats some money matey! well if it makes you feel any better i was stitched up with my exhaust, rotten as a pear.

welcome

well done matey!

take is the busa and the b king use the same engine then matt?

no have decided on those colours but frame will be gloss black, polished forks, black yokes, only thing that will be white is seat hump , tank and front mudguard. you gotta give us more info on your colours, dont leave us hangin!

still putting off ahem i mean "thinking about" the rear master cylinder/rear brake. would like to get it done in the next month or so.

wow progress ! looking nice gaz, get some paint on her quick! dont blame ya for painting it. powder is nice but just gets expensive when your doing the whole frame.

9 times out of 10 central wheel have the offset measurements anyway but at least you have a spare set of wheels if needed will look awesome with alloy (i take it polished?) rims and stainless spokes. frame will look great in gloss black, same colour as im doing mine.

looks awesome gaz! your frame will be done before mine me thinks. did you measure the offset before you chopped them hubs out? gotta buy new bearings and seals for em? oh and more questions.... are you going to run the standard speedo drive? and spill the beans on your new colour choice !

just scored a bargain set of headers for it should be here sometime this week. will be wrapped in black exhaust wrap, so should look good.

seems like you can get em matey. not sure if this will fit yours? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HONDA-CB250T-CB250-T-KEYSTER-CARB-KIT-1978-1979-/220850331558?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item336bb49fa6#ht_2018wt_952

thought i would do the kz carbs today, were very dirty. let me know if its too many pics i will cut it down abit before and after, this was on 50 degrees c for 20 mins might put them in again later as there is still some dirt in the corners and on the springs . suprised how well they came up.
