Hi men
the paintwork is done! The body parts recieved a final layer of clear coat yesterday.
It turned out right and I couldn't resist the temptation to put them on the frame.
I'm satisfied with the outcome, it looks promising for the future.
Now the body parts can spend the winter inside.
As you can see I did some other work on the frame. The swingarm and the yoke are mounted.
The swingarm recieved needle bearings
and the yoke has tapered roller bearings.
They're not original but they improve the road handling and you don't see them when all the parts are mounted.
The engine is partially assembled and mounted in the frame.
I allways try to keep the engine as light as possible when mounting it into the frame. A complete engine is way too heavy to handle on your own, certainly when you have to bend over while holding it. Think about your back!
That's it for today, maybe more in the next few days!
Tada
