Hi Mark,
I would be your friend but someone as mad as to "Almost " mask up his kitchen to paint his bike bits is some kind of nutter  ;D ;D ;D ;)
I must admit though I did used to put the high temp painted cylinders for the older bikes in the oven to bake them, it makes the oven smell but does the job. And yes she had gone out shopping.
When I was much younger ( late 1970's ) I spray painted my car in the street, tried not to get overspray on the neighbours cars !  " those were the days " 8)

Fair enough capn'K I can understand that behaviour being off putting, although in some quarters it has almost given me hero status  :)
PS I'm guessing that a side benefit of spray painting your car in the street was that it simultaneously  marked out your parking bay?.

Hello all!

I have been off the forum for a while, but progress is happening on the build. Clip on bosses are completely machined now as are the rear set pinch bolts and front wheel speedo drive plates.

Captaink - your build looks great please keep updating your thread  ;D

With regards to fueltaps - the CR250 taps that fit the bartel tanks are still available from Honda. I am considering machining my own tap, but at the moment I have bigger things to progress on with the frame!

Update to come soon on the clip on bars/front end. Need to start thinking about designing and machining a splitter for the front brakes lines as well. 

Cheers!
CR21

Just a quick update:

Speedo drive adapter plate machined:





And the filler cap bezel to accept the 'correct' fuelcap:





More to come at the weekend, hopefully front wheel assembly and some movement on the clip-ons!

Cheers,
CR21

Everything about this build is impressive  ;D
P.S. Can you do me some rear sets for a Z650 ;)
