Project Kawsaki: Update

Saturday, November 26, 2011

A few parts came in the post this week for the Kawasaki.

Beside buying a replacement brake torque arm I bought some taper head roller bearing and replacement brake shoes.
Last weekend I gave the headlight cover a paint as well as it was looking a little worse for wear. I am quite pleased with the outcome.
In other news, the frame is currently with a friend that is fixing it up for me. The swinging arm mounting has worn over time resulting in a lot of play when the swinging arm is fitted. Some bushes are being made to fix this. I have bought some replacement foot pegs and a replacement swinging arm. I think at some point the original foot pegs were ripped off the bikes as we found that the one of the previous owners had welded on washers to the foot pegs to mount it to the frame.....

When I get the frame and parts back I'll get some photos of the following repairs. I aim to have the frame with the powder coater either by the end of the month of the start of January.
