The Headset Conversion
headset over view
headset back view, as you can see i am still using the old switch housing's
brake master mounted
clutch master mounted
it all looks very easy and straight forward but what a night mare all the
metal shaft work was odd ball sizes, putting 1 tub inside another welding
and machining it down and making a mount for the brake master too fit on too
so it did't turn with the throttle tube.
brake mount
a new throttle tube machined and a pully wheel spacer.
Part 4 - Late February This Year
Fork Conversion
twisted forks fitted so i can make the brake like upto the right size

here is a kawasaki fuel tank i am having cut up and have the filler cap frenched into my tank.
Part 5 - March This Year
just to keep everyone up to date here are a few more pics, again not really done too much this month
to the scooter waiting for bits from fabricators, engravers and platers. This is all i seem to do is

I have finally found some green Pro-Bolt bar end after 8 months of looking and had to buy them
and ship them in from the US, because pro-bolt have stopped doing this color, also had the
sun dance grips machined down so i can fit them
