New top end for my RRW fighter

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

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! Whats John welding up for you?

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

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.

eventually lol

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.

Looks cool m8.
Many hands make light work!

I need as much help as I can get at the moment mate. How are you gettin on with your lighting? My two projector lights cost about £43 posted?

Hey that looks cool!

Nice work chuckle bro's!

It's really come along nicely - the usd f/end will certainly finish it off for that mean look


Big thumbs up to HR and S80

Interested to see how bright those projectors are Mega, post up a with and without night time picture soon if you can.

Will do FBF, still hopefully getting a suitable fairing for the clocks, lookin for something angular to replace the Trumpet item. Probably be next weekend now when John and George return with the welded bracket and bits!

you hope...........lol

Ta for askin,

Needs re wiring coz i got the beams mixed!
lights up a treat tho

Scotty80, George, brought the light unit and Helrazzer's welded brackets back today,so we had a play and ended up with this lot;

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?

B&Q. In the shed windows/plastic roof section

The newer Speed Tripl cowl would look better but you sure gonna be seen with all them candles!
Anyone p*sses you off n you can burn their eyes out!

The poly sheet needs time and patience to get enough heat in. Too much'll destroy it like a warped record!
Tricky but fun.
Give me a shout if ya need anymore pointers.
and.......... dont burn ya fingers like me!

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?

I found them today.

my lights are strong but the beams all wrong.

I'm getting there tho

Thanks mate, how about a pair of projector beams?

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

Nice one mate, do you have a bigger piccy.

Hope this link works I'm not too hot with the photo thing, put a set of motrax mini fairig indicators in the front of the fairing.

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

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

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.

Very nice

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.

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.
