\nThanks for your patience. Let’s tackle the repairs and modifications one by one.<\/p>\n
\nThanks for your patience. Let’s tackle the repairs and modifications one by one.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n

\nWe’ll replace the stem with a machined one.<\/p>\n
![\"p1640031\"](\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P1640031.jpg\")
\nSince we just replaced it the other day, it’s still in great condition. We’ll reuse it.<\/p>\n
![\"p1640033\"](\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P1640033.jpg\")
\nI’ll pack it with NC100 Newtech grease.<\/p>\n
![\"p1640034\"](\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P1640034.jpg\")
\nWhen replacing the top bridge, you have to check the thickness first, or the protrusion will change even if everything else stays the same.<\/p>\n
![\"p1640035\"](\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P1640035.jpg\")
\nI have a used step bar in stock, so I’ll give you that.<\/p>\n
![\"p1640037\"](\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P1640037.jpg\")
![\"p1640036\"](\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P1640036.jpg\")
\nShould I replace the SDA seat frame too? Well, this damage looks like it might be fixable…<\/p>\n
![\"p1640040\"](\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P1640040.jpg\")
\nI have a special clip-on handlebar, so I’ll fix everything at once.<\/p>\n
![\"p1640039\"](\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P1640039.jpg\")
![\"p1640038\"](\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P1640038.jpg\")
\nIt’s not an area that takes much stress, so it’s fine.<\/p>\n
![\"p1640041\"](\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P1640041.jpg\")
![\"p1640042\"](\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P1640042.jpg\")
![\"p1640043\"](\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/P1640043.jpg\")
\nI’ve fixed this one too.<\/p>\n
![\"dsc_2449\"](\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_2449.jpg\")
\nWe’re swapping the meter for an AIM-MXL, so I’ll install a speed sensor bracket.
\nThe welding on the cast part is a bit bumpy. Sorry about that.<\/p>\n
The lower position looks better, but the upper position is easier to service. After thinking it over, I went with the upper.
\nI chose upper because when it’s lower, I’ve had trouble with it catching on the racing stand\u2014it takes extra care.<\/p>\n
![\"dsc_2450\"](\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_2450.jpg\")
![\"dsc_2451\"](\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_2451.jpg\")
\nI’ll secure the sensor with a chin-hook bracket. You can remove it from the side too, so it’s really convenient.<\/p>\n
![\"dsc_2469\"](\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_2469.jpg\")
\nHere’s how it turned out.<\/p>\n
![\"dsc_2456\"](\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_2456.jpg\")
\nTemporary relocation is done. I’ll handle the wiring next.<\/p>\n
![\"dsc_2453\"](\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_2453.jpg\")
\nThis is a headlight optical axis bracket that also serves as a brake hose bracket.
\nAfter some thought, here’s what I came up with.<\/p>\n
![\"dsc_2457\"](\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_2457.jpg\")
\nI drilled one hole on the stem side. Here’s how it looks.<\/p>\n
![\"dsc_2466\"](\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/DSC_2466.jpg\")
\nNot related, but the exhaust pipe has a nice luster\u2014looks really good.<\/p>\n
Putting this on hold for now.<\/p>\n
