Me picking up the tank from SIDS

Decided against chroming the oil tank...I really like the pearl ivory paint to match the white wall tyres

Ghosted Flame Effect Fuel Tank...Awsome

Wiring the Front End Part 1

LoBoy Bobber Blog

Im cracking on with the front end at the moment, getting the wiring together, drilling holes, fitting indicators, installing the handle bar switches etc.

Fitting the switches was straight forward, just remember which is left and right!!

I dont really want indicators, but I need them to get through the SVA test, I will have to put an orange filter over them.

Drilled 4x 10mm holes in the handle bars to hide the switch wiring.

Differences!!

Spot the Tool Roll!!

Headlamp & Speedo

Fitting the Headlamp and Speedo was straight forward. Again, lovely quality… I think the Headlight looks really cool. The hardest bit will be the wiring. Im going to drill holes in the handlebars and also in the frame soon…. and then start working out where im going to hide them all! The less wiring seen the better… keep that nice clean look.

The Blinkers are designed to fit to a round stock front end so I will have to mount mine higher just below the risers

Installing the Front End

Decided to start installing the front end this evening………..hmmmm, those bearings were tight!! I made up a bearing puller out of 10mm bar so I could slowly pull them in with lots of grease… took a few hours to get them seated…. I definitely wouldn’t want to get them out again!!

The bearing & headcup, pack with lots of grease.

Fitting the home made puller

Tighten down the yoke

Front end on... and staying on!!

The forks and bars are on and I think that ‘Old Springer’ looks really cool… offered the front wheel up to get an idea of how she will look.
