no need john, mines working fine and id like it to stay that way lol

Crm bits stripped off

easyest bit done , CR front mudguard fitted

original tank mounts (at least ) will need removing to allow CR tank to fit

subframe will require a little fabrication to fit ,but it will give the slightly taller seat position i hoped for

mount to fabricate for ECU and reg / rectifier due to CR having open topped airbox

At least i can see where im going now (up to the garage when time allows) lol

managed to get a bit more done today on the alterations , subframe cut and rewelded , alteration to frame for front top subframe mount , bars & new hand guards fitted ,new headlight in place and wired up , once subframe has been painted airbox and plastics to refit , rear light to connect up and mount numberplate to fit and should be ready to ride

Well done

. How are you going to fix the tank

.

You are also going to need to find a space for the rear brake fluid reservior.

Post by **back off road** » 12 Feb 2011, 22:14

the subframe cut & rewelded , luckily the throttle side leg bolts straight up when the carb rubber is on so only one leg needs altering and the top mount

rear brake reservoir fits to the original mount ,but there is the small matter of the brake light switch mount ?(thanks for reminding me Knack ) Tank mounts are going to be fabricated off the top engine mount i think , as i dont think the tank shroud mounts onto the rad will be sufficiant . Where did you get the pressure switch for the brakes ?

Post by **knackeredMk1** » 13 Feb 2011, 09:54

Re reservior - Forgot you have a Mk2

.

Pressure switch - eBay though they have gone up in price.

a good weekend nearly finished

Post by **back off road** » 06 Mar 2011, 02:26

The conversion is finished but the bike is not

I am going to replace the used panels with new ones to tidy the bike up

Post by **back off road** » 29 May 2011, 03:44

things are going well but the red panels all seem to be PINK been as Barbie has gone ,pinky is too obvious the hybrid must be PERKY as its pink and a bit of a pig lol
