Geoff the giant small bike

[ducatilover]

Ordered a new data cable too, so will have pics up this week so you faggots know I'm not telling porkies

[ducatilover]

Haven't got a data cable yet, so I emailed this to myself from my phone thing...

Current and before... I think some parts fell off?

Somebody must have mentioned you were thinking of choppering it, so it got into character?

A morphing bike... I like.
I was thinking of making a bobber, but it's too common/cliche/typical to do on a budget now because all a bobber is, is black with less parts lol

[ducatilover]

Will upload more up-to date pics later, front end is currently off and tank's half done.

[ducatilover]

No pics tonight sorry, got a tiny bit carried away on the front end today and on the tank

I stipped the front end right off and cleaned it all, re-greased bearings.
Polished every nut/bolt/washer except the lower triple ones, decided black would look better on them
Polished/cleaned/re-greased the axle, bearings, bushing and speedo drive.
Cleaned up the brake caliper.
Painted the pokes black, polished the rim up
painted the master cyl and clutch lever perch black.
blah blah blah so it's all back together and rolling again as a bare chassis.

Things to do:
Polish the seat mount tabs.
Decide what to do with the engine covers, the stator side has Suzuki machined in to it which I do not want, but I also don't want to paint it. We'll see.
Wait for the engine parts and port the head.
Going to look at getting the new cam ground and might think about double valve springs and retainers from a DR350.
Hmm

[ducatilover]

Bottom end of the engine is now back in and tank a lot prettier than the above pics, will update after I get back from my week up north

[bogan]

looking good, is that clearcoated bare metal? or silver?

[ducatilover]

Just brushed steel

Want a nicer shape tank, will do the same with the next one

[nathanwhite]

I like the general shape/size of the handlebars as they seem to be approaching the clubmans look. Although they are a bit low which makes them a bit odd.

The seat just wins, but I'm not seeing a taillight?...

This was the guy I got my bars off, nice and cheap. Only issue I've had is the black paint/anodizing/covering-of-some-description comes off quite easily, most notibly when I clamped the riser down on them. Shouldn't be an issue with the silver one's I would think though

[ducatilover]

They're standard bars flipped got some MX bars from Mossy1200 which will also be flipped.
Have a tail light in the mail, the original is about 14ft square...
If the anodising comes off, I'll re-ano them. Will give me a great excuse to set up a small anodising system
I might make a new cover for the seat yet, because I don't want the 'zuki logo on it.

This ain't too bad for a GN..

That was a Yamaha. Long stroke on it so maybe SR500

And Doug, you are a Sick sick sick man!

Yeah, you dont want that suzuki logo being seen eh?
I just got another bike (Suzuki) and I felt like a cunt the minute I took possession of it.
(even more so than usual!)

[Fast Eddie]

tank looks sweet, reminds me of the old B.S.As
