mbdesignart Posted November 17, 2017 Author Share Posted November 17, 2017 We now have a rolling chassis. The chrome finish to the covers for the clutch and gearbox housing haven't been very successful and consequently need stripping and refinishing. Anyone else had a problem with the stand not holding the bike upright? The fit of the stem into the hub is not snug enough despite wrapping it with some Tamiya tape. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heloman1 Posted November 21, 2017 Share Posted November 21, 2017 Wow Mark, great work with the rims, they look great and now you have a rolling chassis it looks the dogs danglies. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbdesignart Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share Posted December 12, 2017 A little more progress has been achieved over the last couple of days. The rear light assembly and tail cowl are on, I've altered the light arrangement from stock to a clear lens with the indicators to the outer strips. The tank is on as a trial fit as I still need to do some repainting and fit a couple of water hoses. I've also ordered some Tamiya braided hose for the front brake & clutch lines. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbdesignart Posted December 14, 2017 Author Share Posted December 14, 2017 The Tamiya brake hose has arrived but as I ordered it in haste I can now see it's way too thick - braided drainpipe anyone?! Anyhow another supplier found with items exactly as I need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heloman1 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Looking good Mark, pity about the Tamiya braided hose. I'll look at my braided trout/fly line again. Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbdesignart Posted December 20, 2017 Author Share Posted December 20, 2017 The replacement hose has arrived, as they say "measure twice order once"! Now to start threading it around the forks and onto the brake calipers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbdesignart Posted December 22, 2017 Author Share Posted December 22, 2017 (edited) Almost there...and about time too?! The brake and clutch hoses are on, I capped the ends with the black vinyl hose from the kit to locate onto the nibs on the callipers etc. The scratch built clear fluid reservoirs have been fixed on the bars and a few more body parts have been added. I'm not happy with the fit of the tail panels, see a bus pass through. Just the fairing to add and I'll take some decent photos and throw it in the finished build section. Update: I had a battle aligning the fairing and side panels to get them to fit. After much drilling of holes paring of mating parts and cursing it is all together. Not what I expected from Tamiya.
