Hi Guys, as last year I have started a new project for our charity auction event. Last year it was Triumph:

It was a great success, almost 550 GBP was donated as highest bid! So this edition will be based on civil version of this legendary bike. As of today:

1. front suspension

Ooooooooo those wheels , I would love to do a bike like this but the wheels would put me off and not sure I could do the replacement spokes.  

It's all looking great so far, fantastic work and congratulations on raising that money with the gorgeous Triumph.

Hi Guys thanks for feedback ;) the work goes on.... First comment to the wheels. It is pretty easy: 1. just cut of plastic spokes and make holes 0,8mm instead in rims and 0,5mm in center pieces 2. glue both rims of alloy together and paint as you wish 3. put the tire on, before spokes. 4. cut surgical needle 0,8mm and put them into holes in alloy; they must be enough long to pin them into tire from inside 5. cut and put steel cord 0,5mm inside needle, longer as well to reach the tire, bended 90o to fix them in the center part. 6. Smile ;)

 

Now battery

The colour, paint with one clear cote before polishing. I am waiting for decals, so once they are added, final clear cote and polishing will be done.

And it has just started to look like a Harley ;) the rear wheel is on, but just to keep it verticaly and to avoid colapsing
