If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I have a full cooley body kit in red & white that needs a repaint so may just try it on to see how it looks

Mark...

but I do like the blue & white :-)
 
what about doing a black and white combo same scheme just black and white instead of blue and white or red and white.
 
I think we have a winner.............

Wait until you start to modify it! this is a bit of a folly for me as I never intend selling it. Even when I am riding it I don't expect it will really ever be quite finished :-)

Well, of course not. There's always something
 
Well, one step forward & two back. Started to fit the new narrowed ZRX swingarm and after all my careful planning, modifications, special bushings, I missed one crucial thing! I had cut the rear end from my old frame & used it as a jig for the new setup, I thought it was a good plan, I could still move the bike around the garage as it would be complete until the change over, half a frame would only take up half the room and I would be sure it would fit.
Or so I thought!!!!!!!! WRONG :-( when trying to fit it to a bike with an engine in the thick alloy front tube that the pivot bolt goes through hits the back of the engine :-( . All is not lost, it is made from very thick tube and has a section in the center that is milled out tho clear a section of the ZRX engine so this will have to be extended both ways and if I also remove all the rough casting lip / protrusions from the rear of the crank cases then that should work. Ah' no one said it would be easy but it does look good when its almost in ;-)

Well, its now fitted :-) and looks the business. I decided to remove the extra metal with a powerfile as this arm conversion is now way over budget :-( and I could not justify shelling out even more cash on machining. A black & decker powerfile cost under ?30, did the job in 10 minutes and looks neat as hell. Plus I only removed the bare minimum of metal as I was able to remove a little and offer it up to see how it fitted. This is the very tool for cleaning up a frame after removing lugs & unneeded brackets, its easy to control and wont leave deep gouges like an angle grinder, so I've plenty more work for it. I even managed to convince Mrs Pan that I was buying it to do jobs in the house :-) Result !!!

Pics to follow.......................
 
Looks like it may have to be red for now as I need to concentrate on getting it up & running and change the body kit at a later date.

Do you know what year the pipes are off of? Update on the fitment?
