Hidden gems part 2

Found some cool graffiti art today so did a photo shoot...

First step was to build the dust excluder assenblies. This is really just installing seals and O rings. Apparently some time during '71, there were two seal designs. One was a conventional pressed-...

It is a pleasure to welcome you again, dear reader! This is already our 6th meeting within the Sandy project. Today I will try to fully describe the process of making a fiberglass fuel tank for a scr...

Now it will be very convenient to glue the tank "inside" and disconnect it from the matrix. Putting the top 3 components together, I got a 2-part matrix, with which we work further in this sequence:...

It's time to rework the rear of Sandy! Namely: redo the tail, make a new wing, integrate LED lights, and paint some elements. Make yourself comfortable, make some tea/coffee and let's go! As you reme...

Once again thinking over the project, I realized that there is no way to bypass this step, because the native YBR exhaust is too bulky and low. And what is a scrubber without an adequate exhaust? I ha...

Forgot to install the primary chain tensioner before the stator. I didn't like the feel of the tension adjusting nut as it caught the edge of the slot of the tensioner blade every half revolution. I...

Finished the rear wheel and brake.  I had forgotten that my rear wheel is not original.  Some time in the mid 70s I noticed my rear sprocket was worn, so I decided to replace it. ...

And today we're going to talk about modifying the battery compartment (or rather, completely abandoning its configuration), as well as making side covers and related modifications. Make yourselves com...

I'm starting a new project-restoration of a motorcycle I've seen in my life. So, mini rocket c engine V4, all standard, blind purchase, another bunch of wood) Pictures of the ad:...

In fact, there are still many different compositions of pads, for track, civilian use, in my small experience - if you do not drive on the track, you need to put on the front civilian baked, and the r...

I've sandblasted most of the frame components, and am starting to put them back together. First up was the swingarm and rear suspension. The swingarm, like the rest of the frame, looks like it was b...

I sandblasted the frame and ther parts a few weeks ago, and can finally start putting some of them together.  Once set up, sandblasting is a quick way to get down to bare metal, especially in har...

I started by completely dismantling the motorcycle into spare parts, taking into account the convenience of their subsequent maintenance and painting. This was not difficult and was done almost with m...

I've been working slowly on the forks for the past few weeks. A lot of distractions lately, but things are still moving. From an appearance point of view, I knew I'd be repainting parts, but the cur...

The side covers were decided to be painted in graphite, and the fence paint did an excellent job – I really liked its color and texture. This paint took quite a long time to dry, after which, using th...
