'bout time too

cheers arclight! Now i know how you felt after your rebuild And special thanks to all the input you put in drew, your knowlege really is an asset to this forum mate. Yeah it took a while but between waiting on parts and finding the time to organise days to work on it between me and my brother it did drag on a bit. We werent in any hurry either and were really taking our time on this rebuild cause both of us had never done one. I reckon if we did another one we could do it MUCH faster now.

Started it up again today, no oil leaks developed overnight. Engine runs awsome, no rattles/leaks/smoking, motor is like new again!

Damn you.! I mean congratulations.

 

[Pork Chop]

Just kidding mate, because my build has been going on for alot longer than yours.

Great news that the rebuild was successful.

How about a vid so we can hear the beast?

To answer your question about my bearings I am going to caveman the bearings in my wheels by welding a bit of steel in the hole and hitting that with a drift and hammer.

Seeing is believing

Sorry mate. Lets get back on topic and post a pic of this seat you mentioned.

 

[Greasey Fingers]

Im joking of course, I just wanted an excuse to post the picture of the fat guy in the little boat.

You mean the seat Im gonna run? Its very simple and nothing fancy, but I wanted something for two because my girlfriend wasnt keen on me building a solo seat project cause its selfish apparently. Thats actually what steered me in the direction of brat style. Heres the link to the seller I got it from, theres a few pictures there: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAP...JFHlQqzUPKbgM%3D&vxp=mtr&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc

It actually really suits the look im going to be trying to get, puts a nice low profile sleek look to the bike. Doesnt look that great in the photos but its not bad at all in person, good quality too.

I think you got a pretty good price for yours.
