Hedgetrimmer 3 rebuild - devilsyam - 04-08-15
So holiday out the way so heres the update
well it was decided that nicks frame was dented not to the point of non use but more a cosmetic choice dents in frame rails are not nice looking
it was also discovered that nick had been riding artound without a exup i guess since he had it as there just wansnt one there
so a newer frame was sourced and duly sent to powder cosaters engine was removed but 3 of the studs bust this was handed over to steve aka bristol banger for extraction this turned out to be bloody epic
new body work was sourced from various parts of the uk via ebay and sent to my painter for a retro speed block paint scheme in memory of hedgetrimmer 3
the offending stud removed and new stainless ones fitted it down to the cleaning and painting following previous post on the subject
if you are expecting some sorta mega modded bike its not going to be this one im afraid
seat was dispatched to diggers for resculpturing and recovering
newer headers with working exup sourced for 50 quid bargin
wheel were naff on nicks bike and rear had a dent so a spare set esetest had were put to good use and a deal done
these were stripped and also made there way to the powder coaters
the swinging arm was also replaced as there was a gauge in it from the exhaust or summat
i have 2 spare upper fairings one ready for primers one has small cracks and will need bit fiddling happy to sell trade
i need double bub screen
hugger
mirrors
more updates to follow
good l/h and r/h casings

Re: Hedgetrimmer 3 rebuild - unfazed - 23-08-15
Forgot to paint the Swinging arm black
Re: Hedgetrimmer 3 rebuild - bristol banger - 23-08-15
Nice powder coated frame+shiny engine+too much enthusiasm=engine in the frame and running gear on before airbox has been fitted dope.
Re: Hedgetrimmer 3 rebuild - fazersharp - 23-08-15
I like the white wheels, I had a suzuki GS 500e with them and they are very easy to clean --- only you have to do it all the while--- which I like to do. Unfortunately the bike was red so no very fast.
Re: Hedgetrimmer 3 rebuild - Red Ceri - 23-08-15
