    The "Scraps Racer" project

    I?m going to paint only the frame, not the tank or tail. I?m going to leave the tank & tail as they are now and pinstripe some race numbers and texts and yes striping colors are black & red. I try to make it look like old, used race bike, not a new and shiny.

    The "Scraps Racer" project

    Doesn?t happened much with the project bike in last month. Had only one day "garage time". Start with the fuel tank finishing. I grind away the welds on the top of the tank and start sanding down all small bumps. I modified the original footpegs to look more "racy" (not finished yet). The seat...

    First I made a tail jigg from plywood to get the both halves equal. Then I cut about the size needed from aluminum sheet. Annealing the aluminum and then hammering - e-wheel - fitting - hammering - e-wheel - fitting - hammering - etc. When it?s finally about the right form, then with slapper...

    The tail cowling is formed. It needs some fasteners before finishing. Next thing after that is to swap the forks to-99 600 GSXR forks, then wheels to -89 1100 GSXR wheels and then few more things before the whole bike is ready to test ride.

    Invisible work today. I drill off 4 broken exhaust header bolts from the cylinder head. Now those 4 threads in the cylinder head are Helicoils. First I try to get them out by welding nuts on the broken bolts and then screw them out, but after about 40 welded nuts I think it?s maybe easier to...

    The "Scraps Racer" project

    Maybe ;) The tank is finally welded. I try to open the exhaust header bolts, but with poor results. Two bolts cut off, two not opening and four opened. I need to lift the whole bike on the working bench upside down and weld nuts in the broken bolts to get them out. But thats later, next...
