December 2020,
See the CAD version here
| In the last episode I ran the hydraulic brakeline through the
rear leg of the springer forks. The brake master cylinder is operated
by twisting the left grip and after drilling the left riser the
brakeline is almost completely hidden. All this is for a hydraulic
front drumbrake by the way! |
If you are wondering why these builds take so long, here is
an example. It annoyed me that the fueltap was not centered between
the cylinders, so I removed it and the hole was patched. I drilled
a new hole in what I figured was the exact center between the
cylinders, but the bottom of the tank there is not flat, so the
fueltap would have ended up at an angle. I then made a special
tool to flatten the seat for the fuelvalve and then change the
angle. The top part of the tool goes in the tank through fuelcap
hole, the bottom part screws into that from outside and flattens
the seat. Then with a hammer I tapped against the bottom part
untill the angle was perfect.
Maybe nobody will notice but it's all the little details that
make the difference to me.... |
| Now I need to come up with a clean looking solution to connect
the front of the tanks at the bottom, without making it too difficult
to remove the tanks. Still puzzling that one out. |
