Sounds exciting - what's it all mean? I'm a geek so I must need a couple of those...

Can't wait to see it when it's all finished (will it ever be?).

Means you got everything you need, and no horrid bar or tank mounts! also forgot to mention the RFID reader instead of a key, sew the RFID button into a glove, and good to go!

Yeh there is only a few bits to go after the headlight/screen, seat will get a gel pad and reshape, footpegs will get moved into a better place. Various parts be powder coated and painted, then it'll be on to the next build May be a suspension upgrade in there somewhere if funds permit too.

Almost time to sort out some headlight fluid What's a good lubricant for steel/aluminium slides in open air environment? I'm thinking teflon chain lube, mainly cos it doesn't pick up dust like a grease or oil would. Got the little DC gear motors to drive it all, them little fuckers got some torque, going to have to under-volt them so they don't wreck shit.

some pretty good work going on in here!! nice job!

[bogan]

bit of progress....



bit of a setback as they mothballed the vacuum former i was going to use to sort the plastics out with, some people have got decent results with a vacuum cleaner and oven to head the plastic though, so hopefully I can sort it that way.

Graphite?.

[bogan]

Graphite?.

Won't that just get washed out with any rain that comes through?

[ducatilover]

We used to use graphite grease for window regulators and door hinges on vintage toys, worked well. Not sure about weather resistance though.
What about vaseline?

[avgas]

Anything will washout over time. So it might just be a case of putting some sort of "rain shield" around the affected areas so the grease doesn't wash out.
Or use rubber/plastic bushings, collets etc
