I reckon if you bring the coffee in about a week you might be getting the first look at it. Will keep in touch.
Quit yer whingin' Brendan. At least I'm not using injuries as an excuse Ok, just to keep you quiet. Got the frame back from the painters on Friday and it rolled on 3 wheels for the first time. Lots of fiddly stuff to do now. The body is still with the Graphics bloke and could be a while before I get that back.
Hi Clancy, I like the look of the new one, somehow round tube just looks better In my opinion Bucket loads of work in this build, well done
Thanks Leigh. Yeah round tube is nicer eh. Using different wall thickness tubes where it needs it makes a difference too. It looks a bit bulkier (more tube etc) but it's a LOT lighter than Mk. I. All the strength in this one is in the chassis and fuel tank, and I've been able to make the boxes a lot lighter.
Thanks Alex - I think Got a long way to go before it looks as good as that red piece of shit of yours though mate
Hi there Clancy .. Now I am amazed with all you have done on here M8 .. Just read all this post today (taken 5 five hours ).. Love the new rig but you have better show me how I can do one of these for my KLR650 coz I whent the cheap way out with buyin a Ural sidecar Outfit myself so my Dog (Missie) can have some comfort now she is 8 and gettin older each day (like us) .. Missie use to ride on the back of the KLR650 ( still dose when I'm on it )everywhere I whent with a couple big trips done of 1,600km as all this riding I do on and off farm.. So now she has comfort with the Ural .. Thanks for a great build / ride report on Mk1 and lovin this Mk2 that I only see parts of .. Chair chassis looks great BTW .... CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO FINISH IT .... Robert Esperance Wa .... Sent to where ever I like .. Lol .... Mostly on IPad with tap talk ....
Yeah yeah its bit hard riding with a broken ulna and radius in the ole wankers crank while wrapped in a cast. But to a more important matter the new frame is the biz, certainly looks stronger and lighter than MK1.
Thanks Robert. Must say I'm looking forward to finishing it too mate. I bought a dog a while back and hoped to take her on trips. Heeler/Kelpie cross from the rescue people. But she hates the bike and won't even get in the car and she's grown a lot bigger than I thought she would. So she'll be staying home. I'd willingly show ya how to build one, but don't ask me to help I swore I wouldn't build another after the last couple and this time I mean it I'll post up the complete build of this one from scratch eventually and maybe you can use some of the info for yours eh.
Hi Clancy .. Kool beans .. I was lookin at buyin one of them off-road rigs from that bloke in Sa ( Crow country ) (ex Vic here Heee Heee ) but just didn't get the money to buy it .. So just might think bout building one instead as like not gettin any better .. Lol .... ;-) ;-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
That's looking very nice Neil. It looks to be up to your usual high standard of workmanship. Looking forward to seeing the finished product mate.
