Projects At Home During Lockdown

[Naki Rat]

This one aspect of stocking up for lockdown activities that didn't find its way into our news but headlined The Guardian yesterday:
"Sex toy sales triple during New Zealand's coronavirus lockdown"

More MV tinkering today.
Polished & re fitted the headlamp ears & headlamp.
I took off the track exhaust system & polished & refitted the standard system that's been wrapped up in a plastic bin for years.
I drained the tank & fired it up went a few hundred meters on it.

Good one mate.

Are you going to fill in under the seat with a large collector muffler box?
like a car shape?

Funny story, I spent 12 fucking hours building a muffler from scratch for exactly that purpose.
I didnt like the result, so binned it.

[Drew]

Looked shit.

[husaberg]

i was thinking flatter

[Drew]

Under seat isn't what I wanted.

I've got something on the go, it's quite different to the normal tracker/bobber you see on trade me.

I just dont much fancy you lot telling me to do shit differently.

Would we do that ? Fuck yeah, it's why we're on here.

What does rather stand out to me anyway is all the suspension joints and shocks right behind the front wheel - with no covering. Your call.

Muffler....There used to be a 2 stroke muffler on the market that looked like a round flat canteen. Pipe went in to the outside rim on a tangent, went round and round inside, and came out in the center with a bend opening to the rear.
Might look OK down beside the rear of the seat.

No centre stand. How are you going to service the chain? FAIL!

Looked shit.

that stand you've got the bike on, is that for servicing prams and pushchairs or something?

[jellywrestler]

I think you might have your pulse pump & your vacuum operated fuel tap arse about elbow

the air movement from the intake is similar to the air movement from the exhaust, at the same frequency is it not? the bike uses a fule pump from a 4wd suzuki farmbike and assume it runs off inlet manifold pulse?

[jellywrestler]

all finished Bar the seat. I have to wait for lockdown to end so I can get some material.

no quite, need the number 92 on it or is the racing car going to be mark 2, and a bulb horn.

The linkage is a standard MC22 cbr item, in its proper environment it sits right in front of the back tyre. So I'm no worried about that.
I've found another solution to the muffler that I like.

It's annoyingly short alright. The roll in wheel clamp helps, but if I go further that way the thing will tip over.

Was planning on putting pictures of the finished product o the optimistic sellers thread. Just to get your thoughts.
