rvf build - it lives

[mo haggs]

right!

the following pics are of the bike today, its not pretty (yet) bit its getting very close to being started.
once the bike runs i will strip it all down and have every thing cleaned - painted - plated ect, and thats when i will get into the nitty gritty as far as the build thread goes - including millions of pics along the way.

so for now:-

ok so the bike has not been started yet.
infact i've not even been near it as i'm waiting for some parts to arrive that i had forgot about and i cant start the bike without them.
So hopfully i should have the parts by thurs and will most likley have a running bike by sunday.

Spot on, good feeling aint it.
Did your bits land today?

[mo haggs]

yes buddy, parts came at lunchtime today.

it feels great as ive never built a bike before, and the fact that it ran on the 3rd-4th attempt (float bowls had to fill up) is awsome.

i know now the hard bit is done. all the important parts are sorted.
so now i will fix a few niggles and start getting ready for the strip down, clean/coat/paint and rebuild.

Then engine will be dropped out to have a clean up and a once over

got a good bit of the bike stripped down yesterday, but rain ment that i was unable to get any more done today, so weather providing - i will get some more done tomorrow and some pics to update the thread a little.

in the vid it shows the rev counter not working - i have descoverd that although in an rvf housing (speedo hacked off) the rev counter itself is a vfr unit.

anyhow, pics tomorow.

Did you plan fitting a 30 motor or was it just what turned up?
