things went sour on the kat build so back to the efe it is almost same as before but full rebuild paint parts ect still going to use the stock b12 motor hence the 1157 part rebuild started today needed to get it up to a rolling shell to put motor in and start on the engine mounts because the last ones were feking huge ugly and aluminum still going with the blue color scheme but only wheels & panels .frame is going black this time round

the main problem was i widened the frame welded braces back in and lower shock mounts stripped bike other day as almost ready for powdercoating and noticed that when i widened frame it had creased and split frame so needed the whole lower right frame tube being cut out and replaced , so i just sold the bits instead and thought sod it, nothing to do over winter so ill re-do the efe

got the front end and rear end back in decided to lift the rear end this time, this gave me issues with chain running along top of swingarm , so a 52t rear and 17t front sprocket should sort this out.

made up new engine mounts as the last ones were ally thanks to CC for the link got the engine in and central exhaust now clears where as last time it touched frame chain is straight and true but abit worried as its closer to frame than last time using 190 tyre 525 chain got cooler in place just need to shorten pipes once thats done need to buy left and right foot hangers get yokes welded up as few old drill holes then its off for powdercoating should be next few weeks as paint is going to be abit pricey as sending everything in

right, past few weeks slowed down with this build lost abit of interest few days ago i was at a local bike meet and a b12 powered efe pulls up, b12 motor b12 front b12 rear nothing to special about it but the crowd it drawed in and the attention it got was unbelievable, i thought to my self hhmm what would people think if my one was here and what interest ect would my one get, and then that was it build was back and motive was back, so next few days i went on a shopping spree got a new decent tank with straps brand new maxxis tyres 190 rear digi clocks £70 worth of stainless bolts nuts washers ect new chain and rear sprocket square headlight new catch tank braided lines oil cooler brackets few pieces of metal new motobatt number plate bracket and shit loads more
