Hi Søren, Good to see a video from you again and nice work on the top yoke. On Tom's 501 engined Dart, we went with Mk1 Cagiva Mito forks and surprisingly the lower and downward sloping bars (that bolt directly into the side of the yoke) suit the bodywork very well, better perhaps than the originals.
I had the Mito Mk2 fork in my mind when first considering the conversion. Simply because of the "family relationship" - and the guy I got the fork from actually had one to compare with, but there was no doubt that the Aprilia fork was the better choice. They are very similar, but the measurements the Aprilia has are better suited for the Dart. By the way, I'm also going to put a 501-engine in it some time in the future ;o)
Nice to see you again. I enjoyed the video and although it is now the end of January, I wish you the best as well. Nice job on the new, modified part. Nice build. That is one heck of a large chunk of aluminum. I liked the filing technique instruction, the cutting of the aluminum with a radial arm saw and the two blade hack saw trick was one I had never seen. Always learning! Thanks for sharing.
Nydeligt arbejde og tak fordi du tog dig tid til at filme processen. Jeg finder det selv meget vanskeligt at filme samtidigt med, at jeg arbejder og derfor bliver det aldrig til noget. Glædelig jul og op med humøret, der er sgu nok at vælge imellem når det kommer til kærester. Det er langt sværere at finde ordentligt værktøj :)
Ja, det med at filme er lidt problematisk. Det gør arbejdet lidt mere besværligt og mere tidskrævende, hvorfor jeg ofte ikke får det gjort. Glædelig jul til dig også!
Soren,enjoyed the video.Glad to see you are up and running again.Have checked each week for new videos.Happy New Year and all the best.Forgot to ask,how did your new roof hold up to the weather?
Hi Patrick, thanks for the continued interest. The roof is fine. I think the best way to describe it is like this: before I made it I worried about it every single day. After I made it I didn't think about it for a second - and it's still like that. It's such a big relief! Happy new year to you too. Søren
Good to see you back on YT. About the filing, it seems to be a european thing, the Yanks do it wrong (like most things) Only joking. There is a well known Californian. who is known for his love of filing things. and, after being informed of the correct way now does it all the time. Shows they can still learn something from the Old World. :>)
Thanks! There's nothing wrong with other filing techniques. The result is what counts. It's just the easiest way to get a consistant result. And you get it with very little practice - simply because the file, or rather the movement of the file, does all the work for you. I also used to do it differently, but once I was taught the other technique during my apprenticeship I never "looked back". ;o)
Good to see a video again great workmanship!!
I am so glad to see a video from you in my subsctiption box! Thanks for another great video.
Welcome back, it was a pleasure seeing you again.
