It only bloody fits! Just needs welding up, finish any sharp edges, blasting and bolting and piping up.

All done and piped up, test fitted the tank and seat unit to check it all clears
Wheeled it outside for the first time this year, need to get the paint on the bodywork all finished and tyres on the gold wheels.

Liking your handywork, nicely finished too which is where all the effort and work comes in Thumbs Up

Can I ask why the lockwiring? Have you had prior problems from the normal retaining solutions?

Cheers

Race regs require it, should I decide to get in everyones way on the track!

Its also my check function, all important fixings are either lockwired or marked as tight on my bikes after I work on them.

Edit, infact you can see one of my marks in the picture above.
The black mark on the swingarm spindle & castle nut

Nope. Comes from the factory like that on rvf's so the oil misses the exhaust. Cool

Well the sun has finally shown its face, so I took the opportunity to get some paint done.

Red laid on, will let it harden up a bit before doing the dark blue.

In between coats I put a battery into the bike and spun it over.
It has power and oil pressure woohoo.

i've not commented on this but i've been watching it pretty much from day 1 of me joining.

fantastic progress and such a meticulous project too, makes me wish i had 'da skills' - especially painting as i need to send mine away for paint soon!

The frame was powdercoated by the previous owner, that's as much as I know about the finish I'm afraid.

Cheers bud, I appreciate that

Thanks for the reply ma man, another quick question if I may. Do you buy or make your rear sprocket covers?, I've seen one on this bike and your other build

Great work btw, hard to believe this is your "track bike" its almost as stunning as your other build Smile

https://i475.photobucket.com/albums/rr119/Timon1983/Honda%20VFR%20Race%20fairing/IMG_4196_zps5c1d029e.jpg

Just need the spray the inside black and put the gold stripe on.
Then its all going off to get clear coated

Then I can play around with stickers Dance!
