And again from the front, next job to make the lines off to make them go between the carbs and air box, over the top of the engine and to the cooler, its going to be tight but will look a lot better then going round the side of the engine.

You certainly have a talent Andy for metal work ,only wish i could make things like that .

My kind of post love old machinery, do you use invertors Andy or are you privy to a 3 phase supply, or is everything single phase

Only single phase supply to workshop but my milling m/c is running inverter, this gives me total speed range on the motor. No having to change drive belt / pulley configeration to select speed , cutter speed can be increased/de-creased during the cut to give best surface finish on workpiece.

Love your work mate, very good and I'd love a man cave that that.

Centre stand stop finished, needed to get this done ,bike now in final stage of being finished and need to get my bandit 1200 on it for a service and bloody good clean.

That's where you need a second bike bench I now have one for servicing etc and one for the project bikes

Cheers Andy got a small invertor myself on one of my machines, but I hope to get my generator sold and replace it with a larger unit, in the future and wire the whole place for three phase save fing about burning diesel when not needed.

Lines in, what a fight a length of -8 hose can put up

[andy c]

then between carbs and airbox.

Over the engine, under frame to the cooler . Job done.

[Pigford]

Looks damned smart

My Z1000 has the same arrangement - but cooler connections are on top - gave better clearance and also helps make most of extra oil capacity.....

[andy c]

Piggy I tried it your way round for the same reasons as you but in that position on mine I had issues with full lock on steering hitting it. Last time I fitted a oil cooler I had electronic tacho and old cable drive blanked off, this is the way to go on trick bikes, you loose the cable and it gives you a bloody huge space to play with.

[Pigford]

Ahhhhhhhhh, I must admit my steering lock is rather limited
