I've got no idea

It's actually pretty sad..

The part that I got to the chrome plater together with my friend's parts have been there for over 8 months now

There was a second part (Superhad covers, ignition cover, baseplate of the seat, coolerparts, wheels,...) that I put in for chroming in February, and the chrome plater (the same one who has my other parts that've been there for 8 months) says they'll be done in about 2-3 weeks..

Some weird things going on there

But I'll keep updating here, whenever I get parts

cdoublejj · 04-19-2009, 03:19 PM

you know i don't have whole lot of money so i just polish there is this web site called "caswellplating dot com" or something close to that extent that has some great stuff, pretty easy to do as well and it's really cheap and looks good and like chrome. thats just a suggestion to bad all your parts are away.

I cut out the seat a little bit.. (This isn't the NOS seat ofcourse.. I bought a second one to do this.. The baseplate is in for chroming

)

Nealz · 05-16-2009, 01:41 PM

Realy nice bike, but we have the best beer. In Czech Republic

BILLYBIGWIG · 05-17-2009, 02:57 AM

looking good what sort of clutch is that?

Adam z50+R · 05-17-2009, 04:14 AM

hmm dry clutch

maybe daytona
(think i read somewhere ,you have one)

the top end looks sweet with the straight finned cylinder as opposed to the v-type

just a quick Q ,, when the cases are chromed, the inside of the cases also looks chromed??
is this part of the process?

it sure beats hours on end polishing lol

ultra-clean motor neals ,cant wait to see it completed

what else are you chroming motor wise ?
head covers,, clutch cover???,, inlet manifold?

Nealz · 05-17-2009, 04:40 AM

Hi guys,

Clutch is indeed Daytona dry clutch.
The inside of the crankcases are "chromed", but when chroming, you need to polish it at the end to get the supershiny effect. And that endpolishing didn't happen on the inside.
But it still is smooth as hell

Chromed from the engine:
- crankcases
- Superhead covers
- Inlet manifold (Yoshimura)
- Air funnel (C.F. Posh)
- Ignition cover
- Complete clutch cover + parts of the clutch
( Scannen0002.jpg )
In numbers: 17, 18, 22, 12, 25, 1,

- Monkey R kickstarter
- Takegawa gear lever
- Meshguard + dress-up of the cooler
- Hose separators
- Hose ends

Guess that's about it..

danielt · 05-31-2009, 02:38 PM

Wow this bike is going to be nice! What wheels are you planning on getting? What length are those rear shocks?

Nealz · 05-31-2009, 02:41 PM

Wheels are the original Honda's..
Original hubs too..
Just everything chromed..

Shocks are 305mm/30,5cm
Normal length is 330mm

So 1 inch shorter
I shortened the springs in the front fork too..
