FT500 Vintage racer

<< < (6/15) > >>

FT500R:
Got a new front fairing.
Made the fairing stay on the front already, have to tweak it a bit more but it is already pretty sturdy.
Will add some brackets to the sides to keep them in the correct position and from flapping around.
Also welded my linkpipe. Have to add a bracket to fix the linkpipe to the frame on the spot where the exhaust normally mounts and have to add a muffler hanger.

The windscreen on the pictures is one I had lying around. I will not use this one but it was more to get an idea of the looks.

hellblom:
What size tires do you have on this mr FT500?

FT500R:
110/70/17 front
140/70/17 rear

FT500R:
I've welded supports for the fairing so it is installed.
I made one support from the neck of the frame forward and 2 small tabs on the sides of the frame.

My welding isn't great but it's solid and when I will prepare for final painting of the frame I can grind the ugly bits down a bit.

I am very satisfied with the position and sturdiness of the fairing. It really hugs the bike nice and tight.

Looking good.  :)
