MillaMeter's Mk2 Rebuild

[MillaMeter]

Hi,

Tiny update as money is tight (what do you expect at this time of year) anyway. Been waiting a week for some powdercoating bits to come back which came back today. Think I'll let the 2 pictures do the talking shall I? I took 2 pictures under different lighting cause it was taken under crap light and didn't know which 1 looked the most effective.

EDIT: forgot the before photo

Before:




After:

Bloody hell!! This is looking awesome!! It will almost be a shame to use it and get it dirty!! Keep up the good work.

Looks awesome fella!

You must have forearms like popeye after all that polishing.

Hi,

Sorry for the late update but I've been screwing around getting my new garage organized and lighting hooked up. I would show you guys alot more then these few images but that would be spoiling it a lil too quickly. I'll show a full pic of the bike when I get the new wheel spacers from Japan ( Cradley's had non in stock ) so that's a 6-8 week wait.

I got this funky clear tail light from M&P the other week, will be getting the clear indicator lenses to match aswell.













Hope you like it so far, cause I dribble everytime I see her

mate you missed a little speck of dirt in the shock adjuster thread. HOW F*ckin clean is it????

[SOILZX]

Mother F@*ker, that is CCCCCCCCLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNN!!
Hats off to you fella, you must have some serious patience!!

Nicely done! Are those linkage bolts the standard items that have been polished up?

[cdstirland81]

bloody awesome mate, you have too much spare time for all this polishing.....

... come and polish mine!!!

[MillaMeter]

Hi,

Thanks for feedback, happy to hear I'm not the only 1 that likes it The linkage bolts are infact stainless steel polished up like chrome. I did have to make sure that the bolts I bought had the same length shank (unthreaded bolt) before fitting, very cruical as the bearing collers spin on the bolts aswell as the bearings. Just thought it would be a nice little touch if someone does decide to stick thier head under the bike. i'm gonna be taking the bike to bike shows and hopefully get into a few magz MCN maybe....

One question, are they strong enough, Rich?

One question, are they strong enough, Rich?

Hi,

I should think so yes, overall stainless is harder then all standard bolts anyway. It took my old man between 3-4 min to cut each bolt to the right length for me. I will report back though and tell everyone to avoid stainless bolts for that particular area if something does happen to go wrong

If all fails I'll have to replace them with the OEMs or go 1 up and get titanium.

Hi,

Finally my wheel spacers arrived

Can't believe how well the side stand turnt out! You'll have to excuse the dull finish on the ally and stainless bolts, it is very damp in my garage

Anyway... I'll let the pictures do the talking.

[MillaMeter]

Any questions, feel free to ask
