Member Contributer Dutchy Posted March 28, 2020 Author Member Contributer Share Posted March 28, 2020 While at the Milano bike fair last month, I did spot a used original backlight/licence plate holder. But they wanted Eur90!! (w/o light assembly...) for it...... "it is my last one.." Well, they still have that part I reckon.... 🙂 So this bracket will do me just fine (from a MASH TT400 https://www.mashmotor.de/mash-400cc/400cc-tt40-cafe-racer/ ) (can shorter the vertical bit significantly since I donot require to have a red reflector as the bike is pre-1972) Test fitting for now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted March 30, 2020 Author Member Contributer Share Posted March 30, 2020 During our government's "intelligent lock-down", going out alone, avoiding others is deemed ok. Even the 99% probabilty of rain/hail is acceptable Ah yes, there are the clouds! Sheets of precipitation in the background.... And long and behold... JOLO!! And, NO, I didnot speak to a single soul.

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted April 3, 2020 Author Member Contributer Share Posted April 3, 2020 @Gebruiker will be proud of me? Sure, I can buy a (longer) link pipe that doubles as db killer. To avoid any crap at tech inspection. There are no noise limits as the bike is pre 1972. But better be safe... But I already own a link pipe.... Sooooooo..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted April 3, 2020 Author Member Contributer Share Posted April 3, 2020 And while I am at it.... The chain rubs the fender; an OEM one has a factory dent. My fender is not OEM.... Gave it a few choice bangs and a coat of paint Plenty clearance now Fitted the backlight and plate bracket No allen or torx, they will look "wrong" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted April 5, 2020 Author Member Contributer Share Posted April 5, 2020 Decided to continue with plan Got the proper decals (aware Kevin never raced on Honda, but was/am a fan) Painted (part) of the tail The (old VF400) side panels are a bit rough so will wrap them Painted wrap in as close as possible w/o forking out for factory paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted April 6, 2020 Author Member Contributer Share Posted April 6, 2020 Just mocking up, still waiting for the right stuff to arrive.. The red tape near the rank not right, needs brighter red. So using yellow wrap and spraying red paint Better To be continued.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted April 7, 2020 Author Member Contributer Share Posted April 7, 2020 Celebrational images and video to follow.... She turned 80,000km today; looking forrward to the 50,000 miles mark With our "intelligent lockdown"in place, getting outside is deemed ok, as long as you observe a few basic rules on keeping distance. That is if you donot have any COVID symptoms; then staying isolated inside is the instruction. Additionally I pump petrol at unmanned stations. Last weekend saw the first really nice weather, but I opted to stay at home. For long and behold, every Tom the bicyclist, Dick the walker and Harry the biker were out and about. Leading to overcrowding at touristy spots.... So the solution for next weekend local authoutities come up with is banning motorcyclists..... 🤢 as expected really..... But today, a quiet day so no risk of me bumping into crowds at the flower fields... Thank you my little puma/cougar for the miles! Made it to the sea shore; this will be shut for all vehicles over the weekend. No parking allowed. 1,5 meter distance markings, order left, pickup right Have a coke and fried mussels... My pal brought his drone,.... TBC! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted April 9, 2020 Author Member Contributer Share Posted April 9, 2020 The homemade rearsets caused the rear brake bar to rub/bend... And it was clarty to boot So I had to come up with a plan (and a rattlecan silver) A lick if black paint next.. Sticker tuning! So who was Gilera's last world championship rider?
