Johnny Cash Special - Suzonda 2smoker

[NoRiders]

This is how far I got after a couple of hours today.....slowly less of the bike to see :)

[2 Stroke Jamoke]

I have the same swingarm on my xs650

Cool.it looks so good imo. Did you have to chol it about to fit? Mine needed approx 1/4" off each end with narrower needle roller bearings and custom spindle.

Right back where I started...nekkid frame ready for blast off :)

[NoRiders]

A few one-off brackets and fittings either fabricated or modified. Cleaning and painting them while I wait for the frame to come home.
Weird not seeing the bike on the stand after so long when I go to the garage.

Haha...a cobbling together of ZZR600 pegs grafted onto CBX pillion pegs
The hopp/guard serves to support the pegs mount. Looking to glue on rubber pads.

Im inspired. might make something similar and just drill and tap in a bunch of m3 or m4 stainless button heads for grip in a pattern.

It's the kickstand for me. I like the idea of the stand disappearing behind the pipe.

Yeah, I like the way that turned out.....my local exhaust fabrication guy did that in no time.  Ima gonna paint the stem satin black but leave the stainless polished.

Off to fix the brakes on my Beetle today :)

That's the frame in etch primer....

One regular image and a ghostly image with just my head torch for lighting.

From this...



To this...





I shall be painting and polishing this weekend :)

[NoRiders]

Small steps and all that....

detailing, detailing..part satin black part stainless.



You know when you cut the access hole slightly off where it should have gone and then have to dick about ovalling it out?.........that!



An hour or so on the swingarm and it came out close to what I wanted......clean but not overly polished. A session on the bugger tomorrow should have it looking spick n span :)



Just some of the materials I used included.

RAL 7036 grey is incoming along with more U-Pol Acid8 etch. Hope to be assembling next weekend...watch this space ;)
