The TR-1 alu-works and face lift

Starting from an old aluminium front fender

 

Also I raised the tank a bit and added two alu strips to enhance the short and mean look

Then, because I used a front fender as fairing, I had to make a new fender from scratch....genius.

So, hammer, english wheel, bead roller and welding machine...

Smoothed

Then the two legs

Unfortunately I've lost some pictures here, anyway, here it is after the welding job and some polishing

Everything mocked up, I think I will shorten the new fender a bit 

Post-apocalyptically mean?

The Dirt-One acid engraved logo

Still working on refreshing the engine look on The Dirt-One, so me and my friend Feib from "Genuine alien technology" decided to try something a bit different and use acid engraving to "print" a custom made logo on the cam belt cover.

After several attempts, this is the first result

The cool part is that it change a bit depending on the light and it will age along with the bike varying colors and shapes.

More acid-works to come.

Thanks a lot Feib! 

The Dirt-One fork guards

A good excuse to test some new tools...

 

Ok, I know it isn't that much without the engine in, but I'm working on that too...

The Orange Project tachometer (testing)

Stealed from the 4 wheel racing world...

...dismantled...

...and inserted in the usual Plan-B-tacho-support with a "stealth" look

I like to have the chance to add the external shift light in the future.

Testing: the start-up procedure

Double or nothing

A small change of plan for The Orange Project, nothing major, but I've decided to go with a twin exhaust

So, another silencer on the left side...

I still have to connect it to the previously made downpipe, but it should not be too complicated
