Trident Project

Here you go then....Max...15 months old....and today was wiring loom day!

 

Yes, he does all the work and I sit about drinking tea....he'd post here if he had fingers too...!
Hoping to fire it up in a couple of days once I've worked out which wire goes to which coil....

 

Thanks, its all being going fairly well so far but then I came to something I have problems with every time....the tank! I spend ages hammering bits of ali trying to get a nice curve to them and it fits in one place but not another and I cut a bit off...then its too small and I start again....until eventually I either run out of sheet or start getting death threats from neighbours.....so (and this isn't the first time) I just weld flat sheet on the sides and tell myself it'll look ok....but in the end will probably make a fibreglass cover to go over it....

 

Made a fibreglass cover for my square tank and started on the fairing.....

 

Almost there with the fairing now....but decided the seat looks too small so making another....

 

New bigger seat made and painted.....almost there with the fairing too....

 

Getting close now but still a few problems to overcome.....sorting a rear disc for one! And a question if anyone knows.....can I just take the little link pipe on the sump plate off and connect an oil cooler to it.....think Trophys have coolers? Oh, and pleased about the weight loss....the bikes that is, not mine ......176kg and only the rad, rear disc and chain to go.....bike started out at 215kg!

 

Still not quite finished but that didn't stop me taking it along to a local show yesterday....
