Where did you get the battery mount and delete cover made? They're perfect

[@twistedfatebuilds]

I found mine on ebay buddy but I have seen rogue motorcycles here in Aus sell them. Sure you could find it local with a search too

And the battery mount I made myself bending up some aluminium plate

Where did you get the airbox delete cover with integrated trickle charger?

[@twistedfatebuilds]

I installed the charger port myself mate.

[@bellinmi]

@@twistedfatebuilds thank you. Did you video the carbon fiber wrap on the fender? Great idea and love the videos!

[@twistedfatebuilds]

@@bellinmi Thanks Michael. I don't think I did a vid on that but I did do a detailed list on insta if you have a look over there. Pretty sure I have the details of the CTEK charger port too 😉

[@andymueller82]

Absolutely love this wrinkle finish! Very inspirational! Will be referring back to this for my build.

[@twistedfatebuilds]

Thanks for the comment Andy. 🙏 It is a bit tedious laying it but well worth it for the end result

[@dr.celsius886]

I just saw this engine on an 07 Ural sidecar motorcycle and i had to look them up. They look amazing!

[@twistedfatebuilds]

I hadn't seen the Ural before. They do run a similar air cooled opposed like the beamer 👌 they are a great looking motor and super easy to work on

[@DennisvanPuttenNL]

Great build! Thanks for sharing

[@twistedfatebuilds]

My pleasure Dennis, thanks for the comment 🙏

[@Bizzyjjjeks]

What kind of engine paint did you use? Also looking to do a self paint job.

[@twistedfatebuilds]

Duplicolor wrinkle finish on most parts and high temp engine enamal on the cylinder heads buddy

[@bav114]

Awesome job. Can’t wait for more content.

[@twistedfatebuilds]

Thank you Dave. Appreciate the comment mate 🙌

[@mitchellsobol]

Cool video. Who did your bottom end rebuild? Im looking to do similar.

[@twistedfatebuilds]

Thanks Mitchell, I had BM Cycles in Ringwood throw the new crank, connecting rods and rear main seal in for me buddy

[@donjerwinaguilar5702]

amazing work mate.youve definitely inspired me to pamper my engine just like yours.
wondering where you got that airbox delete?

[@twistedfatebuilds]

Thanks so much for the comment buddy 🙏 they are quite a nice motor to work on that's for sure. I got my airbox delete from ebay but I know Rogue motorcycles here in Aus sell them or if you google search I have even seen a metal version (mine is fibreglass) but can't remember who it was that sold them.

[@donjerwinaguilar5702]

@@twistedfatebuilds ...found it! thank you so much. I love your contents.such big help for noobs like me.

[@twistedfatebuilds]

@@donjerwinaguilar5702 Awesome mate, glad I could help and that my content is somewhat of a help as I'm a noob just like you buddy 😉 This is only the second build I have done so learning everyday 🤘

[@stijndierckxsens5327]

splendid 😀

[@twistedfatebuilds]

Thank you brother 🙏

[@frederikvolkers8319]

Howd you get that polished look?

[@twistedfatebuilds]

Hi Frederik. I sand the parts down from coarse to fine sandpaper grits to get the item smooth with no scratches (300 to about 1200) then I use a bench grinder with cotton cutting wheel with brown rouge or cutting compound, then change to a polishing wheel with white rouge or compound then a final hand buff.

[@frederikvolkers8319]

@@twistedfatebuilds thats insane! It looks amazing! Is it just albow grease with the sandpaper?

[@twistedfatebuilds]

@@frederikvolkers8319 Thanks buddy 🙏 pretty much, it can all be done by hand but would take a lot longer. The bench grinder with buffing wheels or even a buff wheel on a drill would be so much quicker and quite cheap. I have some posts on insta re this and previous bits I've polished up too if your interested.
