Mojo!

A good evening. First off I shaped the exhaust hanger I'd made to allow the silencer a better sitting position. Use of the blowtorch and some pipe for leverage left me with two nice curves.
A bit of scotchbriting later and it was on the bike along with the strap I made to replace the gaudy tinfoil thing that ebay turned up.
Then it was a case of on with the new stainless steel chain snails, courtesy of Hessler Rallye Team from Germany. Also got the new Renthal chain fitted, and the run is perfect. Phew!
A bit of a conundrum; kevlar Renthal grips that compliment the olde English white paint (LHS) or Biltwell Kung Fu's that suit the style of the bike and go more with the saddle? Thoughts anyone?

Slowly

Got a little job done on SB#3 last night. Made the exhaust hanger up. 2 x 16x16 8mm id stainless steel spacers, and a length of 16mm od 316 tube.
All I need to do now is make an exhaust strap up, as the ebay one looks bloody awful.
Another job off the list.

A weekend wasted

Is never a wasted weekend. Or at least that's how the saying goes.

The original plan was that I was taking the g/f up to Lake Windermere for her to compete in a swimming race. Her race was postponed due to algae, so I was set then to head over to Spalding for the Kustom Kulture weekend, until the bends and tube from OJZ arrived. With the weather looking promising I set to doing a job I'd been putting off for a while; making the exhaust system for the DR.

2 days later, and I've got a finished system. Chuffed.

Mule

My order from OJZ Engineering turned up today, and as always the Ténéré got loaded up and hauled things home. Can't wait to start making the system for the DR.
