Project Bikes

More bits and pieces pulled off and filed under R (ugly oem catch bottle, wire brackets for hoses, other brackets, pillion peg mounts, grab rails, headlight support etc)..

Switch gear is gone, foot rests and brakes have been pulled for cleaning, new pads, fluid and braided lines are on the list.

After realizing that the engine was a stressed member it looks like I may need to fabricate some rails to go in between the front and rear engine mounts.

A few months ago now I killed the motor in my Spada, being that the reg has long since lapsed I'm not going to worry about putting it on the road again. I came to the conclusion the remains aren't worth much at all so will employ my engineering talents and turn it into a track scoot, WITH A XR650 ENGINE TRANSPLANT WOO DE DOO !!!

It will be a while until I can afford a new motor so in the mean time I'll pretty much be pulling the chassis, brakes and suspension apart to give it all ...
