Slowly but Slowly.

New chain for the rusty tank bicycle.

Mozzy is not amused.

 Finally got some wheels in my size!

Let's see if they flat-spot.

Tinker Spring is coming soon.

 I had it all together...then did it again.

Those perches have to go on first, dumby.

Rusty old bike is done-ish.

Still needs lubed in a few places but I want to ride!

White walls on white walls.

The Thailand Fiasco.

Just kidding..... but really though.

When you order from Thailand the following things always happen.

-You pay way too much for shipping

-You wait at least a month for your part

-Anything rubber, in my experience, doesn't last long

-Metal parts aren't as thick/sturdy

Some of the cut-outs for the internal wiring and internal throttle need cleaned up.

The bars overall seem really light......

 A little love from Japan

Thanks Yuto and Masako!

CB160 Handlebars ー 毎日ちょっとずつ

A little bit everyday.

Today was handlebar hour.

Eh.

Pictures of interest from random inter-web sites.

Design, ideas, strangeness, cuteness, etc. all played a role in their selection.

Sad bars....

C2 was long overdue for some new bars.

Holesaw to the tubing.

Lathe to the rod (overdid the length but...you live and learn).

 Time to drill out and tap.

Needed to make a tool to hold the tap in place.

 Moyou was not impressed.

Drill it out.

 Tap that bung.

 This is a Hutch shot.

Moyou with the creeep.

 Pre-bent mocked up bars.

Gross.

 Kyle came through with the late night bend.

I appreciate it!

 Time to weld.

I am horrible at welding....

Moyou was even less impressed with this.

This is before the welds got cleaned up and filled in.

I also took a few inches off the overall wingspan.

 Early mock up.

Hopefully I will be able to get these powdercoated next week.

All the aluminum switch housings are going to get zapped black soon too.

Next up:

Make new sissy bar mounts and bar.

Winter weather is back.
