I have got a thin bit of perspex/poly sheet. will have a go when I get the brackets sorted next week.

by **megawatt** on Fri 31 Jul 2009, 19:24

Just wanna thank Helrazzer and Scotty80( The Chuckle Brothers) for coming down to Northiam to rewire my new headlight unit , projector lights and making a few brackets to bolt everything to. Big thanks guys. Also nice to see Masterblader again, who turned up on his own to lend moral support. Will see em again hopefully when John has done the welding?

I'm glad you had a successful day with the A Team/ Chuckle brothers! Laughing

Whats John welding up for you?

by **helrazzer** on Sat 01 Aug 2009, 07:48

just welding his clock bracket on to his new light unit))

by **megawatt** on Sat 01 Aug 2009, 09:18

We decided to make a bracket to bolt everything to. The light unit, the clocks, the projector lights and then bolt the lot to the teardrop brackets on my forks. Didn't have time to fit the USDs, but John will be making me some wraparound brackets to bolt the lot to eventually.

by **helrazzer** on Sat 01 Aug 2009, 09:55

eventually lol

by **megawatt** on Sat 01 Aug 2009, 13:51

Here's a few pix of yesterday's activities. The Chuckle Brother's actually work very well together and George is a time served car mechanic and paint sprayer!

Everthing off

Top team, they were working well, I was limping around interfering!

The last one has the bracket bolted on top of two teardrop brackets and attached to top yoke, rock solid. Just need to sort clock bracket and find a suitable fairing to protect clocks. Will be modifying original Trumpet fairing for the time being.

It's amazing the shapes you can form it into with a hairdryer on Hot!" Hadn't thought of that mate, should be easier than fibre glass. Where do you get it from?

Anyone p*sses you off n you can burn their eyes out! evil

The poly sheet needs time and patience to get enough heat in. Too much'll destroy it like a warped record! rofl

Tricky but fun. dance1

Give me a shout if ya need anymore pointers.
and.......... dont burn ya fingers like me! rofl

by **megawatt** on Sat 08 Aug 2009, 11:32

Cheers mate, Ive got 215watts if I need it, but it would probably knacker the wiring and the alternator. Have you seen any black or coloured poly? Whats your lightin like now?

Here's a photo of mine with some of the fairing cut down. Gonna take it up a bit further when I move the fuses and other stuff

by **megawatt** on Tue 06 Oct 2009, 06:38

Nice one mate, do you have a bigger piccy.

That's nice cub, love the black frame you have there.

Did you recently have that chain fitted? that kink looks a bit worrying.

by cub on Tue 06 Oct 2009, 10:34

Cheers mate, the chain has been replaced, it was like that when I bought it. I've got an R1 seat unit at my welder mate whose gonna fabricate my spare Blade subframe to fit. Will wait until the bikes of the road before I can cut the fairin up a bit and fit the R1 unit then a new paint job. I wanted to see what the frame and swinger would be like black as I'm sick o polishin my gixer.

by **Kaiser** on Tue 06 Oct 2009, 10:52

Very nice

by **megawatt** on Tue 06 Oct 2009, 16:44

Nice one cub, will be interested to see the subframe/r1 tail mods. I may do that myself next year. Keep us posted and please start yer own thread as this one's MINE!! Only kiddin.

by Fringe on Wed 07 Oct 2009, 11:04

What's the word on your cowl?
I've had some success moulding a poly taillight surround and it reminded me of your last update.
