Wrench'n Ride'n

I have a Honda CL450 that has a busted engine. It is not going to be worked on any time soon. It has forks with exposed springs and a big drum brake. Will this front end fit the TS185? Seems it will. The bearing cups from the Honda front end will need some machining to get a perfect fit. The handlebars fitted at the moment may not be the final ones.

Bought an old Yammy AG100 tank. Cheap. It has no rust inside. Amazing. Bashed the tunnel upwards to help it fit the frames back bone. Found some epoxy repairs to the welds on the tank. Big Dog has TIG welder. He can fix. Tank sits a bit higher than I would like. Any lower and the lower edge would be sitting on the exhaust.

Put tools to Dirty Oily Rusty Smelly Machines today. I have 3 engines. The one I am looking at using has compression. This is very good news. So begins the work. Some things needs gentle prodding to remove. Original patina. I am not using this tank. One way to stop the gear lever coming off. Mixing and matching parts from the to near complete bikes.  After a more street look. So have this tank from a Yammie AG100 coming.

New project or junk collection. A few old TS185s have landed at Wrench'n Ride'n HQ. The plan? To build one good street tracker type bike out of them. I hope. Well that's the plan.
