Dutchy

A few weeks ago I had a run-in with a couple of dogs up on the BRP and had to replace the upper cowl.

A Dutch start-up is installing 2 large metal 3D printers at the moment

Wadda Dipshit..............

And would he put "HD ready" parts on MR RC45??????????

Took these out after 30000kms or more really dont remember changing them.

Never missed a beat, so new regulars went in.

Bravo Honda HQ, to step in where Honda UK didnot want to know....

The oil that came out was as dark as a cup of ristretto......

The new (Motul 7.5W) as light as a chardonnay.

Wilbers' specs are for a 170mm air pocket, went for 160mm. Pure speculation!

yes, they got it

They also have the top yoke cover

Did you check on cmsnl.com?

Figured it was possible and it wouldn't be compromising the wheel but he wasn't comfortable with it and I really didn't want to do it unless he was committed. That being said, it looks like this guy used an axe to make those notches!

Better be 100% sure when it comes to rear rims...

I never read conclusively what caused this...

Have a hot bath yourself with a can of cold lager..

here ya go http://www.vh-motorradtechnik.de/en/Belt-Drive-Kits/Kawasaki

The site does have a button top right with a union jack, but if you need more translation or help let me know

Here a German guy selling belt conversion kits. But no Honda's in his range....

and when I wrote "bits of scrap metal" I was not joking....

Both are routed through a BlueSea fusebox.

this takes power from the battery, switched with a relay

Used a bit of scrap metal to make a bracket, rattle can black.

Slide the end of the bracket under the fairing bolt not visible since the brake lever is blocking the view.....

Made one on the left as well.

BUMP!!!!!

Hoping to read the good news........

This topic had over half a million views??

Sorry to read for your mishap.

And VFRD would not be VFRD if you actually finish your Frankenphantom

Or check the for sale section.....

Looks fabulous Dutchy. Love the fairing mod. Mind if I copy it on my fifth gen? Do have a patent or copyright? If not, you should.

Price for copying is $50

but I give you a 100% rebate...

I used my set of compasses (I kept since secondary school ) with the old cover still on to make sure the circle cut out was proper round. (don't want to mark the lexan do we?)

Sourced a damaged (where I would be cutting anyway) lower cowl for cheap; unfortunately could not find a mid section with damage in that area...

Dremel with cutting wheel is handy to have as well.

A small vid....

Thank you Seb for making me a proud owner of your work!

Come on DJ spin that wheel!!!!

Maybe trim the body panel/cowel cowl a bit more?

Fitting the painted plate was a breeze.

Upon removing the cover, the starter reduction gear axle came out as well with the o-ring falling down. It was a bit of a wiggle to get it in again.

The clutch springs were only a fraction below factory new spec. all friction plates 3mm so re-used tem as well. Some of the metal plates had some discoloring, so changed them from the clutch pack I bought used.

The basket looks like this:

Unless the concensus is that I will crash, burn and die if I leave it, I will leave it

The cheque is in the mail

I was only helping that sheep cross the road

All in good fun ;-)
