Tonka

Weekend was busy adding some final touches to Tonka, here are some pics I took of her.You can read more about it over on the.

The seat build for the Tonka build has come to an end with the leather work completed this week.The construction was fairly simple with a fibreglass base with steel locators glassed into the base.

Cases split ready for new gaskets and a new front sprocketThe Tonka Project is getting close to finishing up. I needed to replace the front sprocket and with these TW's you need to remove the left side engine case …So because of this I took the opportunity to split the cases and check out the internals and replace the gaskets at the same time.

All the body work is complete and I spent an afternoon pulling everything apart ready for the sandblaster. Because the client had decided on stainless spokes I ended up cutting the rusted old ones to make removing the hubs easier.

Things have been progressing pretty well. With thecomplete I finished up with the rear fender mount over the last weekend.

Have made some good progress on the TW200 over the last couple of weeks. Originally I was going to use a steel black fender and cut and shape to suit.
