Motorcyle Work Bench - Part II

Well it arrived yesterday, went to pick the pair up [one for my Dad] and they were 183Kg each! Managed to get mine set up and in the garage last night with alot of huffing and puffing. Now all I need to do is find the room to give it a permanent home. I will start on sorting out the garage tonight and hopefully have it finished for the weekend.

I really want to start on Project Kat [PK] or Project Gixxer [PG] again this weekend as we have the Bank Holiday and it's sure to be raining. Am waiting for the subframe to arrive for PG and need some powder coated bits for PK so will probably work on the latter and start the 'dry fit' to work out what bits I need to order.

Project Kat

Well a new project for you all, well new to you but has been with me for around 2 years now. My latest 85 Katana is nearing completion. I have a new bike bench on the way so will be starting a dry fit next week to make sure I have all the bits and pieces ready for final assembly.

Was looking through the numerous boxes last night to find any brackets I need coating to give to a new local guy. If he's good I will give him more work [have lots outstanding!] but for now I want to try on some spare brackets I have. What really suprised me though was the amount of spares I actually have and the amount which are duplicates. Didn't think I had that much stuff so I guess it's time for a clearout at some point.

I do have a full spare set of body work, I originally was going to spray this candy apple green, to go with the silver frame but saw a lovely burnt orange colour last night and that would look superb.

I guess I need to get the bike built, engine rebuilt and into the rolling chassis before I consider paint. Not to mention the 'spare' bodywork needs alot of repairs!

Ah well, onwards and upwards as they say. Watch this space for updates and photos as usual.
