First Generation Ascots > The Thumper Years: Modified To Full Customs
Dutch FT project
J6G1Z:
I was fixated on the size of the headlight & the spotless "Shop".
Didn't even notice the bars were missing. :-[

FT500R:
Got rid of all the paint on the tank
I don't know for sure what color I'm going to paint the tank. I might keep it without paint. Maybe some pinstriping.
J6G1Z:
Pinstripe & clear coat.

FT500R:
Its been some weeks but I've been primarily busy with the wiring loom. That did pay off though as all the lights work, the starter system works and I have a strong spark!
Next step is to get the chain alignment correct. I took some of the rear wheel parts to my friendly neighborhood metal worker and had him turn a couple of mil from the sprocket holder and mil of some more from the brake caliper bracket. Should be in line now!
The new rear brake looks pretty nice on the underside of the swingarm.
FT500R:
Quite some time ago that I've posted something but I'm still working on it!
I've painted the edge of the tank and the part of the tank where the saddle used to rest upon.
I've moved house again which means the bike is not in my living room anymore but in my own little storage/workspace on the ground floor
I've ordered a lot of stuff: new tires (to be fitted), chain and sprockets, material for the brake caliper spacers and much more small bits.
Also refurbished the exhaust
Unfortunately it turns out the exhaust studs are too short while I thought I ordered the longer ones. Have to try and source some new ones of the correct size.
The bike itself now looks like this
The to do list is getting shorter and shorter!!
