"SPARE TIME"

[phil240]

Well the foam for the seat arrived so tomorrow plan to finish out the seat pan and see how the foam goes. Pretty good video I'm going to try and mimic the process. Pretty sure the foam is just yoga or camping mat

Looks like a great project.

Did get the seatpan finished and the foam is on. Now I'll find an upholstery shop for shaping and a cover. Thinking tuck and roll.

 

[cra-z1]

Tuck and roll! Old school for sure

 

[phil240]

Seat was brought to the upholstery person.

Working on foot controls now.

Yes I made the brake lever oversized. I still have to cut it down and weld on the peg for the brake. Bronze bushings should be arriving today, so depending on the time I'll have the foot controls completed today or tomorrow. The good thing about making it myself is the learning process. I'm learning how everything functions.

Next step is the back half of the exhaust.

Then wiring and mounting the small things.

Then handlebars.

I know this could of been done easier if I just bought off the shelf parts, but what's the fun in that?

Brake lever is now complete.

Remember I will be finish sanding all my welds and pieces before completions. Right now all these photos and work shown is in mock up stages.

Just an update for you guys. I don't really have time to put in on the bike until about September. But I'm slowly working on the handlebars a little at a time. Have the main part bent so far. I'm going with mainly 1in bars and stepping them down to 7/8 for the controls.

 

[phil240]

Got the seat back the other day

Hand controls came in

Working on the bars and exhaust completion little at a time

Well guys this is why I changed the name of this build spare time. Used this vacation from work to actually take the kids on vacation.

I have the first week of September off and should have more updates.

Was something pretty cool to see. You definitely don't see that up in NYC.

Just an update for you guys I did get the exhaust tac'd up in place over the weekend. Hopefully this weekend I have time to get the handlebars in.

 

[phil240]

Small update

Bars are done and coil for the Boyer is mounted

Mounting everything in the electronics box tomorrow and finishing the brake lever

 

[phil240]

As you guys can tell if I'm not happy with something I redo it.

Brake lever 2.0 is 90% done. Just threaded rod for the heim joint ends to connect the 2 levers and add of the pedal. But I've got plenty of 1in tube for it.

Not happy that I need to make a sissy bar but don't want the fender touching the tire when I hit a bump. So sissy bar is next

Ordered a new starter solenoid and ordering the wiring tonight to make up a harness.

Getting closer.

Update is no update.

Had some spare time today and decided to take the kids bike riding. Weather is cooling off up here and they are only kids for so long.

 

[phil240]

Well time for an update for you guys since it's been a while since I posted. Bike was moving along in my spare time. Made a electronics box to hold the Boyer and all my switches. Wired here up with some help and have spark. So it was time to break it down sand and paint

 

[phil240]

Trying my hand at painting the tank. So far primer and black base is on. Attempting to do a homemade metal flake with some candy all out of spray cans.

 

[phil240]

And Rustoleum glitter for the flake

Clear coat is up tomorrow

 

[phil240]

I am not affiliated with the YouTube links I'm about to give. But I found these 2 videos helpful for how I'm going to paint the rest of the tank and the fender.
