Recommended Posts

So im waiting for parts, bored decided to do some painting, ripped off ka-510's paint sceme... dont think Im gonna keep it, little bold for my tastes.. but I thought Id post the pics, the black was supposed to be much lighter, I thought that is was just a little darker than my other grey primer.

Thats cool! where did you find a cover for a 521? or is it custom?

I built it, Ive got it in a thread out there somewhere, all you need is a grinder, welder, and about $180 in materials.. but you cold do it cheaper, i used 16 guage steel but really it could have been thinner than that.. oh and for gas supports, its another $60-80 or so.. got those planned out but not purchased because of the big disc brake conversion..

160 sounds like a good deal. Maybe I could just used some galvanized from worK :D

 

BEWARE GALVI FUMES.. they are no bueno

 

I had to buy and entire sheet (5'x10") hot rolled and then I paid them to cut it all almost to size, an inch bigger all the way round.. I built the frame out of 1 inch 14 guage angle iron..

I left about 3/16 of an inch all the way around and used 2 pieces of 1 inch square tubing across the width of it, examine yours closely for any crown "bow" in the steel and keep it going the same way.

Thats a riot...

 

I did look at at when i first built it and my first thought was, "DAMN.. I could sleep in there!" and believe me, in years past I would have... I lived in a 1977 honda civc for a short while in N.Z and that sombitch was cramped.. you had to get out of the damn thing to turn over.
