While the hunt for a new swing arm continues, it seemed like a good time to look at reproducing a seat back rest pad for the aftermarket Seat Tail Box Set (part 455504082017P) that was purchased from Classic Race Replicas online.

The solo seat pad that came from Classic Race Replicas is made from fiberglass and the intention is to use it as a reference to re-manufacture one closer to the original with foam, base-plate and vinyl to match the pilot seat. 

Finally the Bridgestone Battlax BT46's are on.  Next is to source a set of stanchion tubes as the ones we have are bent. As soon as the swingarm bearings and seals arrive the back end can be assembled

The seat cowl arrived today. This is the last of the last of the bodywork for the Walter Wolf replica. Next steps are to get the wheels painted and find somewhere that can anodize the frame

After 12 months of searching, a set of mk3 RG250 exhaust pipes became available. These have been such a challenge to find or it was just been a case of looking in all the wrong places. Anyhoo, here they are. The pipes arrived in a rough state. Dirty, rustsy, everything you’d expect from a bike that’s this old. As soon as they arrived, they were chemical dipped to remove all of the old carbon build-up and then bead-blasted. The areas damaged by rust have been repaired and today they had a coat of high-heat paint.
