I would have liked finned tappet covers. (he says grabbing a flac jacket)

Maybe on the next build

So, tonight I popped the crossover pipe on and filled the tank. So far no leaks

Well done mate! Makes it worthwhile!

 

[Paulrxs650]

Certainly does. Trying to workout what headlight to fit. I want it to be a break from the norm, so I was looking at a small projector style unit

Hi ROY,
contact motoxs about him making you a set of them on his CNC Mill.
And that's a flak jacket. (FLAK = Fleuger Abwehr Kannon) like Biggles had to wear.
[EDIT] Or did you mean you'd like them on Paul's tracker? There's enough meat around the portholes that reasonably sized fins could be cut in it, so why not, eh? [ENDEDIT]

Good for you man. I knew it would work!

You might have to hold one up there and see Paul. Whatever you come up with will probably be just fine.

How about something like this?

 

[Paulrxs650]

Now that's a light! Probably a bit big for mine but a lovely piece of work!

Who pissed in your cornflaces, you're going to busy if you korrect every error on the innernet.
I meant on Pauls build, instead of the see frow.

Hi Roy,
thanks for the C vs K interchangeability demonstration.
In return, a little poem for you:-
The mate off a lugger,
A lascivious bugger,
The sort that spells cunt with a K
And an article of interest:-

I did like canucks, now not so much.

Paul, really enjoying your build thread. Your bobber build was one of the best and has been a great reference for me that I go back to again and again.

Thanks for sharing, Scott

Hi Scott,

Thank you for the comments. I really appreciate that and I'm very glad you're enjoying this build - we're getting there

A little more done today. I started on the wiring and drilled the frame so I can route all wires internally. I drilled down through the top frame so I could get a chamfer on the inside to stop snagging, then welded the top holes back up. Also drilled down and into the rear tube and capped the top hole witha weld.

The headlight turned up today too. However, as I got more of the wiring done I hooked it up to a battery and gave it a few kicks. I got a few good splutters but it was a bit late in the day to really go for it. Tomorrow mornings job

I expect a full on video Paul. Need to hear this beast man!
What's the headlight look like brother?
