the cutting and shaping isnt so bad, its my artistic abilities that I am not so sure about. I dont want to create something that just looks rubbish.
The biggest problem I am having is that clocks are enormous, so I have make every thing way wider than I want to. 
 
The flat sides will be broken up when I build the side panels, but I am starting to waiver a little in my resolve.
 
I'll give it a go. worst case I will refit the stock gear and chalk it up to experience


Winter Project - coxylaad - 19-11-2018

Ok, I have made a decision. I have number of projects on the go at the moment and I just don't think I have the time to invest into something this new to me at the moment. 
 
I have decided to opt for a plan B, refit the main fairing, and have a go at making some new side panels  to fit. 
 
I didnt want to fit the original headlight, on account that its shite, so I pulled it apart and inserted the projecter units, and stumbled accross something I think looks pretty cool!

Brill! Do you ever just sit on yer arse for a few hours?



Winter Project - coxylaad - 20-11-2018

not often, I get bored quite easily and I am not a big fan of sitting watching the telly

That does look good Like A natural progression from a mk1

I've seen a few chopped/fightered tdm's and some of them are really nice, maybe just because they are a bit different Smile

Here's a few I like, maybe some inspiration for you 


Winter Project - coxylaad - 21-11-2018

I like the side panels on the first one, and the black frame and engine on the second one!



Winter Project - coxylaad - 22-11-2018

its arrived!

it must be jam packed with gear as its quite heavy. I've done a brief bench test on my laptop to interrogate the settings. it appears they have supplied me a map file which is slightly different to the stock TDM900 one that comes with the software. 

 

Doesn't really matter as I think I am going to have a crack at fitting these bigger throttle bodies so it will all need setting up. anyway.

I've got one in the garage in a box, I think it even works too !  I remember my mum used to play Perry Como, Tom Jones and Brat Pack tapes over and over on a long run in Dad's Morris Traveler....blue of course !

 

 

 

I'm watching this thread because now I've got Muddy's old bike which needs some cosmetic assistance, I'm looking for inspiration Smile

That does look and sound good



On a side note after watching that clip saw a clip for cleaning up / restoring Headlights -- basically sanding them down with various grades of wet & dry and a few coats of clear plasticoat any body got a set of old lights to try ?

Winter Project - coxylaad - 24-11-2018

Interesting take, is that mt07 clocks and headlight there



Mustn't be finished yet though, the side panels are held at the front with zip ties

Winter Project - coxylaad - 24-11-2018

I had a set until last night Andy- actually I still have the reflector part

Winter Project - coxylaad - 24-11-2018

What are those clocks off??
Got it. Fazer 250.

Yes it looks a bit flimsy. I saw another lastnight where the side panels were cut down significantly more, and that looked pretty good

This project seems to be getting pulled back considerably in its scope. 
 
I am now reduced to a lighting change, engine strip and paint, new exhaust fabrication, and if I am lucky some custom side panels.  
 
headlight part is about done:

Next job is to make a bracket for the new DRL that replaces that pointless parking light. 
 
Then the engine comes out.Â
