The Cycle-Motor Project: The Art of the Possible.

After walking away from the shed yesterday, ready to attack the bike with a hammer, this evening I took a deep breath and decided to do just the things it was possible to do without causing myself undue stress.

I fitted the fuel tank.
I fitted the anti-frey cap on the clutch cable.
Using a zip-tie I experimented with where I'd like to position the CDI unit.
Then my stupid gene kicked in and I shortened the new fuel pipe by about half an inch to much.

Still, it's starting to look really good:
Tasks remaining to be accomplished:

  1. Mount CDI unit.
  2. Extend wiring to CDI unit and secure.
  3. Buy a heavy duty chain-cracker.
  4. Lengthen drive-chain.
  5. Fit drive-chain tensioner.
