MY BIG BLUE THUMPER
07/14/12 at 01:42:45

Hi Everyone
My name is Ian from the UK
I have been building my bike now for about 2 years it has gone through some changes and i think loos really great now.
I will be putting some pictures on here as we go.
Please let me know what you think!
Well like i said i bought the bike 2 years ago the first thing i did was to see if she starts which eventually she did so that was OK.Then came the strip down because she was sat on a farm for 3 years before i had her so everything had gone all the chrome,all the ali.rubber everything was crap so all had to be replaced.
So with the bike all stripped i had the frame etc shot blasted to see what was going on underneath. Frame and swing arm was ok but both the fenders were shot couldn't be used.So then the remodeling started all the untidy welds were then dressed and then some filler to make then smooth.The swing arm was also reshaped with the open holes on the inside being welded up to make them smooth,rear footpegs removed and the brackets that hold the rear belt cover on.Took the two horns that hold the rear fender off and made some alterations there as you will see in the pictures.Well lets start with some pictures and i will carry on with the story.

Hello Ian, nice set of wheels !

Whereabouts in England ? I lived in Camberley (GU15) for a year, then another two years in a tiny hamòlet called Upavon (SN9).

Looking at your bike, I have the feeling the front fork was disassembled, ther reassebled the wrong way 'round, as the disc caliper should rest on the rear of the fork shroud, not on the front.

Tara for now ! Cool

HI
THEN I HAD TO DO THE TANK
THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD HAD A CRASH ON IT AND DENTED THE TANK WHICH HE HAD JUST STUCK A LUMP OF FILLER IN IT
SO WHEN IT WENT TO THE SAND BLASTERS IT CAME BACK ALL BATTERED WITH A BIG DENT IN IT
SO WE SPLIT THE TANK IN HALF TO GET ALL THE DENTS OUT WE-WELDED IT BACK TOGETHER WHICH QUITE GOOD BECAUSE YOU LOOSE THE SEAM EDGE ON THE BOTTOM AND FILLED IN THE HOLE WHERE THE SPEEDO GOES SO IT MAKES IT NICE AND SMOOTH
