ok i'm a sucker for the odd stuff thats it so this will be another one not of the shelf
have bought an wery cool engine today with gear indications and 2 exhaust ports and awesome looking engine halfs,rims are 17" with white walls and the paint will probably be wery dark blue with gold striping,not sure what tank to use yet,either the one in the pics or a little bigger one we'll see





i spotted a small design error with the first set of cut out engine mounts (a line thru the frame/engine didn'nt match) so i cut new ones the "old way" will spot weld them before tigwelding the entire bike after all things are in place

meanxpress

pics of the motor mounts spotwelded in waiting for final tig weld,dekals to go on the tank also
please comment,

as i never tend to grow old here's a couple of pics of a 50cc i built a few years ago,some with the first telescope fork and the recent webb fork still some work to be done but it's just for fun

meanxpress

meanxpress

have this magneto in the garage but i am not sure to use it,will it be able to be mounted cool and appeling and function the way i want?? q's to be solved never mind the written stuff on the pics it's the pics from the guy i bought it from

meanxpress

here are the 2 current bad boys hahaha

good loocking carb

got this 2" pipe of copper today that will be polished and modified inte 2 mufflers

useing the one on the right to make the one to the left

meanxpress

to adapt the newer jap nut to the old villiers carb the brass schim was needed

will look badass when polished

the bottom plug is a little to big so i will replace that and then the carb is bolt on

it's small and really cool i cant decide though on were to have the foot controls will decide that after the seat is done

meanxpress

this is allmost scary close to the paint i have for the bike from a ,,,,,,,,,,,, ford hahahaha

meanxpress

found a pic online from last spring and a "rally" me and my brother did,someone took a pic when we had trouble shooting for more power LOL

meanxpress

well have scored some stuff for the little bastard
awesome looking twist throttle and an old ford tailight

yes i know the tailight is common nowadays but will use it because i need licenseplate lights and stuff thats are allready built in to this
the throttle grip will look killer all polished and with the cable running along the handle bar in a copper tube and via a round brass pulley (from a modell railway train) open down to the carb,the grips them selfs are made of glued together slices of mahogny or teak mixed with slices of brass and formed in the lathe in similar shape as an american football (elipse that means ) same goes for the foot pegs




cheers and beers

this is the small rods for my seat suspensinon to come,they are a little different in shapes between each other but will probably use the lower 4 and save the remaining 4 for the future

meanxpress

well small update on the seat suspension,have sent some drawings to the watercutter,hope they will be here next week,if you have q;s please reply

bolt and cup washer,can't decide on what type of nut to use,stainless acorn or homemade brass?

made a brass bushing for the leafspring bolt,here with the rods attached


and mounted on the spring

meanxpress

scored a cromed spring for my girder

meanxpress

also got some other stuff,the mini connecting rod with needle bearing will be the lever arm for my chain tensioner as i will have no adjustment in my axle plates ( i hope ) will try to use the rubber grommets for front tank mounts but will see if the size apeels to me when testing,the new cromed spring for my girder turned out to be in a greater shape than in the pic the seller had posted



small 2˝" tailight score,the housing will be stripped of paint and will go to the crome tub along with some other bits

this is sent to my cutter,it's brackets for the front exhaust tubes,2 different radiuses as the frame tube is a little smaller than the exhaust,1 welded to the frame and the other to the tube and will also be cromed as a result of previous bla bla bla

Looking good mate What engine is on that thing?

meanxpress

it's a small cz 125cc engine (search for cz on wiki some good reading there,especially the name ) just bought it because of the looks
it's for fun but will be legal and have title and mot and will be a fun little biatch to run now and then,i do this stuff when i get bored with all the cars,wery satisfying work, the next bike will be a pre unit triumph, with as little stuff as possible showing

fantastic

meanxpress

thanx

meanxpress

well some crappy pics of a trolly to build on that leaves all bike open and free to work on and still be able to spin it around and get it out of the way when cleaning and working on other bits


the fender will be trimmed when the rear rim has been restored and the whitewall is back on,the radius of the rim will be copied to the fender opening,the fender is ribbed

the handlebar is just for now,haveing trouble deciding on what to use

the air cleaner is a one of the first to id it will get a large beer if we ever get to meet


the brake stay is stock to the rim i just cleaned some metal brackets of it and added a small tab to the frame



everyone need atleast one object with apehanger

meanxpress

well the shit storm is never ending it seems,the wife got robbed a few weeks back and her boss got stabbed (little but needed 2 stitches) and she needed some help getting over that and i just sort of recovered after the loss of my best friend and then yesterday my father stopped his struggle and passed away,this is getting to me now but i'll fight back again, rip dad 80 years and 9 days of hard life to an end,hope he's allright now finally

to have something to take my mind of things i made theese test plates for tank mounting,not to happy mounting the tank ridgid and i kind of like the grommets so it will be rubber somehow,so what do you guys think??

exelent mate great job

lacey

Love it , the old style girder folk are great

meanxpress

thanx guys

meanxpress

there ain't much happening with this just now,working my ass of to afford a tig welder to continue the build,but got stuff from my watercut guy who made theese awesome exhaust tube brackets,i made a rough drawing in paint with measurments and he just transformed it to a dxf cutting file in no time

meanxpress

small stuff gets done when i find a few mins to spare, made this tail lamp out of a celing lamp bought at a flea market and a glass lens from a swedish traktor from the 40*s and a brass thingy for a boat,cut a small piece of the threads and made the lens fit snugg inside and mounted it from the front of the big brass nut,then put the lens in from the rear and cut a longer piece and fitted it from bhind to clamp the lens in place,and the house armature donated the cap that will house the lamp bulb and finish the housing off,will post pics off the bracket when i start on the bike again
