Hey all,
Thought I might as well get started on a build thread for my 70.
Basically going for a custom xmas special replica.
So far Ive had the frame stretched 2" and sleeved 4" for strength. I didn't trust myself with this as it is significantly structural, so I got a guru boil maker to TIG it up for me.
For relocating the fuel tank mounts, I machined down a pin on the lathe at work to the same size as the factory mounts. Then got it welded in and plugged the original tank mounts.
While the frame was at the boil makers, He drilled and tapped a grease nipple into the rear bearing housing which is handy.
Fenders Arrived, Will be handy to have them for getting the tank and forks colour coded to match.
So Basically, only just getting started on the project. But I plan to document the whole build here.
