Jay Terrence's V65 Project
A second brave soul ventures down the path previously blazed
by Alan Seagrave - Jay Terrence of Canada has elected to
have the massive V65 shoe-horned into his 1987 VF700C
Supermagna.
| Story: |
I took a couple shots of the
work so far on my 87 700 frame. The work is being
done by Chris James and Danny Stang of Westside
Choppers, Westbank, B.C. ( under my watchful eye!!)
Most of the welding is just being completed, gussets
are added at all bend points for extra frame
strength. More gussets are being added were the side
covers mount as well. The new motor mounts are 2
pieces of steel angled together and welded solid,
they are smaller and stronger than plate. You might
notice the angle of the new bent frame matches the
other side in angle, this makes it possible to reuse
my lower cowling. The old foot peg mounts are being
removed and filled, except the kick stand mount, and
new holes are being put up the frame for forward
controls. The new holes are drilled, then tubing is
put through the hole for strength, then it it welded
air tight, this prevents collapsing of the frame
tube and because the one side has coolant going
through it as well. Stoppers are being placed on the
rear brake side for a cable rather than pedal and
lever to the rear drum, so it will be cable from the
controls all the way back to the drum lever for a
cleaner look. The shifter is going to be a
compressed air shift rather than the lever as well.
I love the pic with my daughter Lilly, Honda frame
on a Harley logo. priceless!!!! More to come. |
