New Grabrails

New grabrails are finally welded onto the frame. Compared to the genuine, these are rather solid and I won't be shy using them while manipulting the bike :)


Preparation...



...and the result


This will fit really fine

Couple of Details

Adding a few details from recent time -  one is a newly fabricated nut, holding the damper onto the rear swing arm. The replacement was needed since the previous nut has a damaged threading.


Another substantial feature are the new grab rails made from bended iron tubes. It took some brass and metallic resin, too, in order to make a smooth surface 





The grab rails were made according to the image I've found on the web. They'll be soon welded onto the frame, which is still occupying various rooms of the house. 


Another minor thing is a polished clutch cover, 
now without "YAMAHA" signing, which was scratched badly


not very happy about it, though (If someone have an original piece in a good condition for sale - without scratches - please feel free to contact me)
