Spindle sort of done so I can reveal this.
I stood next to it and it seems ridiculously low, although I’ve not set the height of the shocks but still!
Cheers. Come up against a snag though. When I set the spindle is sort of done I worded it like that because the holes are the tiniest amount off center do to my pillar drill having a bench chuck. We are only talking a few thousands of a mm but still it’s not going to be perfect and it annoying me so I think I’m going to have another go but do it on a lathe this time. P1ssed off ain’t quite the right phrase at this time. Plus the bike is really low, even my sisters short bf can measure up to it n put his feet on the floor!
heheh nice one.
might actually have a rolling chassis soon….waiting on some bushes to be machined and then we are laughing
taken bloody long enough. but not having the right tools really does put things on holdwell i was hoping my mate would do them but he said the chuck aint big enough on the lathe, i know for a fact it is cos i sold him it!
cant be arsed no more. lost interest in everything…bloody women!
so ill have to pay to get them done.
what i didnt say in my last post was that i cut the footpeg mount off to get the extra room i need to line the wheels up so ive actually decided to hoy the ducati wheel to the back of the workshop and move the swingarm even further to where i need it to fit the MV wheel straight in. i should have enough room to play with, wont quote numbers cos ive worked it out so every other sod can too
Send me a drawing of the bushes and I’ll see what I can do (Will be a couple of weeks though because I’m off to the states for a bit).
Cheers Kat, alright for some aint it
however i havent taken the new measurements yet so ill let you know when i have. plus i think i need to widen the frame so may not be for a while..taaaaaaaaaaaaaaThe gixxer finally gets the winter treatment..
Iridium spark plugs.
K&N filter and airbox sealed.
Everything cleaned under tank, and shortly everything else cleaned.
side fairings removed and frame de-lugged.
Chain and sprocket kit.
Stainless brakelines. but not those cool quick release onesother bits and bats to follow if i dont get thrown out of my house..
no the bandit is on the backburner for now. aint got the time, the money or the inclination if im honest. with all the sh!t that kicked off recently i just cant be arsed. theres no point me doing anything to it cos ill get p!ssed off and break it.
Nope. My ex has tried to make her moving out as difficult as possible and as stressful and consequently I’m skint and am on the dole. Marvellous! So yeah it’s all good, bandit not been touched, triumph not been touched etc. It may all pick back up if I get the job I want, there will be a new CNC miller coming my way if I get it!
