Ceramic coating
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I noticed a similar issue with my seat lock - at the moment I put it down to mine being a KO frame that should have the old style lock.
It's not a neat fit like the 400 was.
Sesman:
Ken, please, please start the build. You must have the finest collection of supremely finished parts ever.
Oddjob:
Nowhere near ready Phil, not even prepped the frame yet. Engine is still in one piece as well. Getting close to starting the frame though.
Still fault finding, I need some welding done as well, found the front footrests hang slightly lower than they should, need a blob of weld on them which I'll grind down until they hang perfectly straight. I'm trying to find all the faults BEFORE I have anything painted, like I'll be drilling out the seat hinge lugs on the frame to accommodate slightly larger pins, the hinge bar has already been done and now coated.
Oddjob:
More parts collected and 20 new parts dropped off for powder coating. Almost ready to start the frame, maybe this weekend I'll collect it from the lock up and start to prep it.
Parts collected today involve 7 handlebar switch halves, all 4 of the ones I'll be using and some spares, the rest were parts off my 1300. I'll post some pics of the handlebar switch halves when they have been painted with the orange lettering paint.
Dropped off today, CB550 top and CB500 bottom yokes, CB550 speedo/tacho mounting plate, L/H riders footrest, 2 x hero blob plates for riders footrests, 4 x CB500 exhaust hanger plates, CB500 rear engine hanger plate, CB500 number plate holder, seat lock plate after being modified, CB550 electrical plate under L/H side panel, starter motor body, another seat hinge bar and a few 1300 parts as well.
I have a box of bits missing somewhere, can't seem to find it, as usual it will turn up when I'm not looking for it. Not sure what's in it but for sure the engine hanger plates. Luckily I had a spare rear one so I'll get that done.
Sesman:
Must be getting close, Ken. You gonna assemble the chassis then move onto the engine?
