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.

===Get your Sh\*t Together in 2017===============================Let this year be the time you dust off those tools, and finish off those projects that have become a hostel for your local spider gang.Buildboard was launched 3 years ago …This new release celebrates the 3rd birthday of Buildboard and showcases new features including an updated skin, and the ability to tag, comment and share your photos of your project.

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.

The Buell front forks were leaking so as a result I had to rebuild them. While I was waiting on a few parts to arrive, I thought I take the opportunity to give the headers a bit of a clean …My camera ran out of battery while I was spray painting them so I had to find a substitute video to show the similar process.

I finally had some free time to edit some footage of making the rear fender mount. Quality isn't that great as I'm using an old point and shoot.

We found this bike on ebay as a stock 1987 Yamaha SRX250. I was pretty excited to win the bike at a fairly low price even though there wasn’t much information at the time about this particular model.

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