Wednesday 8th Sept - shed night

Put the frame forks & seat  in the back of the car & headed up to the hills.
I stopped in at Midvale & Budgie from Spokes & Wheels had finished my front wheel.
Still a bit unsure of the blue & white paint job !



Wayne had cleared one of his bike stands so we set the frame up & put the front forks on.
Next we had to make a stepped bolt for the seat bracket on the lathe

Then we stood the tank in the frame & placed the wheel into the forks & had a first glimpse of the look of the bike.

woooooohooooo



















Next job is keep grinding the exhaust port on the front barrel & then hopefully get them to Bob ? to be rebored ( pistons are 50 thou over ) & 3~4 helicoils inserted on stripped threads for the heads.

I wrote to the VI list to try & get an idea of how much we need to grind the fly wheels  ...... no responses yet
