Angus73 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 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 2. wheels 3. engine Best regards and tbc... 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteH1969 Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Have you any pictures of re-lacing the wheels? Looks very nice work. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 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. Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus73 Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 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 Cables will be adjusted off course... Regards and TBC... 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
