Getting closer....

Post by Skullenton Punx »

This is my new ride, not quite going just yet like everyone elses is. Pulling it down to change the classic ZX7 purple rim design to something I feel will be mine. Paint the frame & rims mat black.
Polish the outside ring of the rim along with the grab handles.
Paint the fairings gloss black.
I work as a metal fabrication engineer, and everytime I look at the rear sets on my bedroom floor, I start running ideas through my head. I reckon I might have to draw some new ones up and get them cut.
The idea of the stripping, is to give the bike a good clean and service, make the bike original, learn how it all goes together, and most importantly TRY to do everything at home. I want to do all the work myself (including plastic welding).
Should be good. Knocked up a temp engine stand today so I can drop the engine in the coming week.

And before anyone mentions it.....The shed is pretty clean hey :D

There is another similar stand right behind it. The only real difference is that it has no from wheel vice, and the platform is aluminium chequer plate (so sexy). I reckon I might have to put the plans into Autocad and upload them so anyone can build the same stand I have. Very simple. Just need access to a welder. :D

Never hold in your farts. They travel up your spine, into your brain, and that is where shitty ideas come from!
I thought I saw your name on a loaf of bread today, but when I looked again it said 'Thick Cut'
