Actually got out to the shed for a couple of hours and have cut the ally for the front engine mount, as with the rest of the frame I need to get it tacked together so I can take it to the man with a TIG.
Have discovered that I will need to take it all apart first as I have to drill two holes through the engine plates and they need to line up - bum!.
Oh well I also have no end of hankbushes to remove to be welded over so I guess I will do these at the same time.
Just for a giggle I was moving the bike when it started to topple towards a load of greenhouse glass - had hit another pile before and broke just the 12 sheets... trying to hold the bike I got cramp in my legs - did not know what to do - let the bike fall and deal with the cramp, or grit the teeth on the cramp and sort the bike. Bike won out in the end - well the greenhouse glass did actually.
Still looking for a secondhand 140 or 150 17 inch tyre to hold the back wheel of the ground and fill a space for me so if anyone sees one let me know...
