High mudguard and fork leg covers project nearly complete now.
I finally got a chance to was the bike today.. The proper clean will likely come during the week (if I get time) when I finish off the full clean with some WD40.
I welded and linished the fork leg covers on Friday and removed the high guard mount bracket so that I could give them both a coat of paint, so I decided today was a good time to pull out the pressure washer.
My Son and the two grand-kids were out all day + the cook had disappeared for the arvo so I had complete peace and quiet O0.
I find cleaning the bikes very therapeutic and quite enjoyed my afternoon.
Once dried (while the engine is warming up to dry out) it presented a good opportunity to wack on a couple of the Woody's Wheel Work's stickers... The least I can do for such a great job.
Gratuitous close-up..
I even snuck one on the back:
High mudguard mount bracket received a coat of jam and was secured into place.
As I posted before, the expanding sleave up the inside of the steering stem works a treat and the bracket worked out nice and sturdy with the pressings to firm things up.
These are the only two holes on the bottom triple clamp to attach anything too.
Mudguard installed and fork leg covers welded/linished/painted and fitted...Phew - Finally. Just have to get head down and bum up to finish the hose routing.
Nearly completed (this phase anyway
). Will try and finish the clean during the week so I can go out to the forest and get it dirty again .... :'(
I didnt get a chance to trial the 18" rear this weekend, although I could have gone out if I knew the wife was going to disappear, so it looks like this coming weekend is the test day. I will keep all (who might be interested) well reported.
