I have also made a few cosmetic frame
modifications, to the rear shock mounts, front petrol tank mounts.
Some of the photo's of the frame are a
bit dusty as it has been covered in a flannelette sheet.
|
 Cut
off and drilled out the petrol tank front mounts and welded a
stainless bar with both ends tapped M4 so where the rubbers locate
can be removed when painting and don't get rust on the back.
|
|
 This
shows the front petrol tank mount bolted on.
|
 I've
cut off the original rear shock mounting bolts and welded in a
stainless steel bush which the mount bar bolts on to.
|
|
 Easy
removal of the rear shocks mounting bolts if they get damaged or
just need polishing.
|
 Machined
a series of lines on to stainless steel plates and brazed on to
the swinging arm for better alignment with the custom adjusters,
as the original alignment marks were over 1mm out of position.
|
 |
 Cut
the rear shock mounting bolt off the frame and welded in a
stainless insert same as the swinging arm.
|
|
|
 These
are the stainless steel mounts for the rear shocks. They are a
push fit in the frame and swinging arm and are bolted from the
rear with mushroom headed allen bolts
|
 The
shorter mount is for the swinging arm and bolts on with 3 x M4
bolts, while the longer one bolts in to the frame with 4 x M3
bolts. I was a bit more limited for space on the insert that is
welded into the frame.

 The
original rear brake pedal bar has been cut off and a stainless bar
that bolts through added. It is sightly smaller in diameter so the
pedal can have a bronze bush inserted for a better fit as the
original had a lot of play.
|
 The
front right hand foot peg bolt holes have been drilled out and
stainless inserts welded in as the originals didn't line up too
well.
|
 |
 Chain
adjuster machined from stainless steel bar, they are slightly
wider than standard to allow for the stainless alignment plate on
the swinging arm.
