Scratch Build – Complete MINI MOTO MAYHEM: Photo Dump

Frame really looks great. I'm always amazed at how cheap the powder coating option is in most places. Now to get it all put together!

 

Thanks Pete, Looking through the votes Blue is the clear leader... I really like the yellow but I do have the luxury of having both colours to use

I'm not sure if they do anodising, I was always going to powder coat the frame, it's a good robust finish and yeah the price was really good

I was amazed too, I thought it would have cost twice as much, the amount of work it saved me was huge

I've put together the chassis, I managed to find some small Ohlins logo's for the front forks. I do need to replace those allen bolts though....



The rear sprocket has been polished and looks much better with the dull black paint stripped



The Termigoni logo's have been added to the exhaust, and breaks down the Di-noc nicely.



and finally the where it's at pic

 

This thing is looking really, really sweet! I can't wait to see it complete.

 

Cheers Andy, I'm getting there..

Thanks Mad, You and me both

 

Any plans to do anything with the back wheel? It has the cog there, I thought you might be able to do something with it. Not entirely sure how that would look, mind you...

 

No other plans for the back wheel, the cog is for the drive chain ... I'm trying to source a gold chain at the moment. I'm keeping the back wheel simple as i don't want any thing getting caught up in the chain when riding the bike.

 

Understandable.

Woah, wait. You're actually going to be riding it?

 

LOL yeah.. you should check out the rest of the log, there will be an electric motor fitted

 

Damn those forks look the business mate, good one

 

Cheers Kovoet, the Ohlins logo's help a lot

 

This thing just keep getting better and better. I just wish I could stop seeing a drunken guy crawling away from the scene in that exhaust Termignoni logo...

 

Hahahaa. yeah it does look like he's had a good night out Thanks Egami

I've been doing some cable routing today, I want to run as many cables through the frame as possible (keeps them out of site)

I started with the throttle and display cables, these run from just behind the headstock.



The throttle cable comes out right at the back of the bike, saves me using unsightly cable ties.



The USB connector for the display routes down to the IO panel on the M'board .... I'm guessing you're wondering how I got the big square block through the small round hole ? ...that's just the way I roll dudes



Now for the GPU cable ... this was a bit more "interesting" (read P.I.T.A) these run a short distance from inside the frame ...



Down to the GPU getting the individual wires in the right order was entertaining but got there in the end.



I've just noticed that one of the blue sleeves has pulled, (thank you macro shot) I'll have to tease that back in line

 

IS A WITCH!

 

*MAKES MOTORBIKE NOISES*

 

Lol, the other end of the cable is a mini USB connector, after wittling it down a bit with a stanley knife it fitted through the holes quite nicely.

That's what I do everytime I'm working on it , drives the gf nuts

 

Now that's cable management!!

 

Ooohh... Is intelligent...



BURN THE WITCH!!!
