I have been taking advantage of the house garage and since bike night is at TJ's tomorrow, I wanted to work a little on my own stuff tonight again.
I did this a few nights ago. Finished mocking up the germ and wired in the headlight and plugs for the rear lights. Still don't know what to do about a break light..... Like that gold throttle cable?...
This is where my motorcycle A.D.D. kicks in. I have three bikes and I want to build them all right now. I have been pb blasting rusty parts for removal, tonight I took everything but the plunger shocks and forks apart. I think it is strange that the bolts for this are SAE......oh well. I guess the set my dad bought for me in high school will finally get some use.
I thought this part was interesting. It is a switch/relay for the rear brake light. I hope this still works, I want to re-use it.
I took the tires off to see how rusty the rims were inside they looked decent so I will be able to use them. These are the tubes that were on this bike. Made in Great Britain. What is that picture of in the circle on the left?
I think I am done with her for now. . .want to take the shocks apart and make sure they aren't sketchy. I need to check the brakes too. I don't know where I can get new pads though. The only place I could find was in Europe and they "reconditioned" them. I am guessing this means adding more pad somehow? These are really similar to other old British bikes, I wonder if there is someone in town that can do that...
