Keep working on the bike

But nothing interesting enough to be posted


This electrical stuff is a never ending job, I hate it!

Signs of new life

The bike is far to be complete, but the temptation was much too large to resist...




The new engine started quite easily and sounds pretty loud!

One problem almost solved

The new Nissin brake lever looked a way too modern and didn't match the clutch


 So I tried to figure out a solution.
First I've found a donor broken lever,


 dismantled and machined a bit.


Re-shape the vintage one


 then mix them together.




It needs more work but looks and feels fine

Bad Steve

 Prank...

Rearsets are finally back from anodization and so are the forks....



BUT
something went wrong.



Looking closer...





All this little pits were almost invisible before the treatment, but the black color shows them all very badly.
They look very big now.
Probably the only solution is to sand and polish the forks to remove all the pits and then re-anodize.
Any suggestion will be appreciate

Almost ready to take everything apart on this one too. Hopefully.  If I don't come up with some last minute overcomplicated stupid idea ...
