Tv2 revamp

[Fux]

My tv2 started to look a bit shabby round the edges so I decided to make it a little more shabby.

I came a cropper on some diesel last year and wrecked the paintwork

I havn`t realy got money for a full profesional paint job and had some niggles like a leaky petrol tank, poor speedo.

So I have thrown another grand at it and I won`t have to worry too much about the paintwork.

Its been ridden all over scandinavia and I just fancied having a scoot that pokes its nose out a little more.

More pics...



reinforced the strut for a sidestand



Can`t afford new footboard strips, and may use skateboard tape?

Ironicly, I have sold a couple of tv2`s that ended up as Gran Sport "resto`s" .

I am actualy realy pleased with the flames, not bad for a first timer.

I am going back in the garage to see if the leggies still fit

Quite a few hours in the garage yesterday.

I hellicoiled the engine case and swapped a few dodgy crankcase studs.
Tapped the holes in the maghouse so that I have a full set of screws again.
Drilled and tapped a fin for the heat sensor.
Fit the cowlings.
Pipe got som bandage, if you plan on doing this use some gloves as I learnt the hard way (ouch) Fingers are full of fibre now
Fit the pipe (looks MEAN!)

Back out in the garage...

I am, like many others I know a complete idiot when it comes to wireing and Byron off thse boards is a genius! He is making me an easy to follow diagram including battery and dials and its all going to be connected in the toolbox. He is a top fella, and will save me loads of time. I think I used about two weeks of swearing last time I build the scoot

At the mo I have been messing about fitting the leggies. The holes where they fit the frame are now wider after the weld job so I`ll have to have a look at that later.

To get them on I had to take off the fork and chrome ring so they are just on loose at the mo so I can get under them for the wireing and new cables.

In order to order new cables I have to determin the hight of my bars something I also have to fix.

Firstly, to get these to go clear of the leggies I have to angle them quite high. That in turn pushes the bars way out front.



The problem here is that i am a shortarse and its going to be a tw@7 to ride.



The angle I think it will ride best in is this but I`ll need more hight.



There are a few ways to achive some hight.

1. Higher risers
2. Shim the bottom of the risers I have
3. Use a riser shim like this.. adapters.

Looking at the measurments I need a total of 2.5 inch.



I`m not sure what the best method would be?

[Fux]

Iv`e seen these on ebay



I could machine them down half an inch and fit a stud in the bottom.

Or even these... And do the same but i would proberbly have to cut the leading edge of them so that dont stick out at the front.

Hmm........

Ok, sorted.

Just need to measure cable and hose length for Chiggy.
