Good idea about keeping some paint around for touch in.. Here's a couple of shots showing the fuel filler, roll bar and seat belt mountings. Fuel-Hose.jpg Seat-Belts.jpg Moving the fuel filler to the fixed bodywork involved more work than I'd thought. It had to go in this position otherwise the conv...

Final top coat today which makes 2 coats of primer, 1 coat undercoat and 3 top coats - all rubbed down and applied by hand. Low tech but I'm fairly happy with the result, like anything you do yourself you tend to focus on the bits that are not quite 100% rather than looking at it overall. Fluorescen...

I've been very busy the last few days on the Triking build making mudguard stays, fine tuning the pedal positions and bleeding the brakes which proved to be a mini epic... The front brakes were fairly straightforward although I discovered that a couple of the caliper pistons were leaking slightly un...

Thanks Tony ! Two big milestones this week; starting the engine and on it's own wheels at last... I knew the engine basically worked ok as I'd run it and even ridden the donor bike a little after buying it, but that was almost 18 months ago. I'd reused the engine wiring harness which is mostly simpl...
