GB's Modded Z900 now on a runaway budget!

[ruffle]

Nice to see the brackets fitted. Looks like I could have taken the relief a little further towards the Harris black bit but better too little than too much!

T'was interesting to do.

Ruffle,

They're 'spot on' & I am chuffed to bit's with 'em. I've had all the new fasteners delivered & everything now bolts up beautifully.

As I've said in my email, hopefully you can make it to Blackpool, where your beers are on me.

Managed to spend a little time in my garage last night & re-profiled the heads of the just delivered M10 x 1.25 socket caps to suit the counter bore on the rearsets.



In an ideal world I would use button heads, but they don't seem to exist in stainless with a 1.25 pitch. The last of the M10 x 1.25 stainless countersunk that I ordered from Stig fasteners never arrived, and they have no more stock.

Anyhow, that's the last I'll report on my rearsets.......... For now.

Mr bear - can't find the details on the drive chain tensioner you had (or was it a previous project?)...... need one for me Harris

I think it was on Magnum1's thread, GB had a skate board wheel turned down, think it was a white one!

Cheers Mr Bear




Just ordered one - well it is my Birthday on Saturday (52)

Had a call yesterday from Pete Sutton, to say my tank was done.

Collected it this morning...... superb work from Pete, once again.





Oh Yeah...... Modified the title of this project to something a little more suitable.

Thats more like it lad

[mick znone]

so the budget is blown Bear, thats the problem with the youth of today, no self control

[Ginger Bear]

OK, it's been a few months, this project was pushed to the back of the garage at Easter, because I was busy shoveling my front garden into 4 fookin great builders skips then repaving the whole lot (Take note MrParr!)





I was also fairly busy fitting shutters to all these £4milloin quid apartments in Kensington.



Anyhow, that's all behind me now & I can crack on with this again.

Only sorted a couple of jobs so far, first was to cut up me swinger & have a piece of angle welded back in to sort out me chain clearance;





Welding is beautiful, but is now away to be powdercoated....... satin black.

Next is to sort out a pair of wheels.




This is a spare pair, that I have now stripped & will go to Mikey to have the rims polished, before they go to Hutchy to be painted along with the bodywork which I plan to drop off with him at Stafford next weekend.

I've also found the colour I want & sent these pics to Hutchy, who reckons it shouldn't be a problem.

That's a stunning colour. Saw a Range Rover like that last week...stands out a treat!

Im sure it wont be just that colour alone though Mr Bear??

Any build of yours Steve involving your eye to style and detail is worthy of waiting for , period .
My drive however has been started on 5 and a bit years ago and is at this stage ,
the wait to completion is of no interest to anyone .
Least of all me as i have nobody pecking my head to get it finished
As you can see from this photo taken by my neighbour i've nearly finished .

[Is Vic There]

Great work on the drive mate
