I took this old battered points cover, and did this.
Now to sand and polish it.
I had to get a steady rest ($145.00
) to this project.
I used a boring bar to turn the inside of this shaft.
And then fitted bearings into each end.
I also made up an internal spacer, and some external spacers to turn this whole mess into a rear wheel for a mini-bike.
Oh, and here is how I used my drill press to make the flats on the outside spacers.
I also repaired a wallowed out (Shiny might say wollered
) rear caliper bracket off an XS 650 bobber. Sorry I did not get a before picture.
This is the shouldered bushing I made.
I found this really neat fly-cutter in a box of stuff that came with the lathe, and used it in my drill-press to mill 3mm off the caliper bracket.
I also used my 4-jaw chuck to drill some holes in some tubing for my new forward controls.

Happiness is a belt fed weapon.
I just can't imagine what could go wrong.
No fire? No explosions? So whats the point of your story?

I like vintage bikes because they take me away from the clutter of technology that I work with everyday and back to a simpler time of mechanical elegance and simplicity.. "ninadm"
