Hope so
Rooted around for a chain guard but I dont have one so I decided to make one. This was the biggest bit of ally I had, so I made a template to suit.
All cut and bent to shape, just the holes to drill now.
All fitted, drilled and tapped the swingarm to mount the other side.
Just needs a lick of paint now
Also lashed up a sharkfin guard but that needs some spacers turned up to fit that

Cheers Alex
Here it is painted along with the shark fin, might redo it though, the lightning holes didnt really go to plan

Got some bolts and fixings back from the zinc coaters,
Now useable yokes
Only missing a rear sprocket
The shaft has only loosely been put in as I've not finished the rear disc yet.
Put in an old shock to get it rigid
Cleaned up the forks and this is how she sits atm

Seeing as it going to be a trackbike with a daytime MOT I made use of the spare keyless ign barrel and smashed lhs switchgear .
I will wire the ign up as a flick switch
The only wires left from the switch gear are for the horn (needed to be road legal) and clutch switch.
Organised the garage to have a spares stock check too

Where do you get your zinc coating done? is it local? your only just up the road from me so be handy if it is.
