Rapid-A Custom drums

 I helped my friend to build a set off custom drums.
These are made from old barrels and paintcans.........
 Autoin ystäväni rakentamaan rumpusettin, nämä on rakennettu vanhoista tynnyreistä ja maali ämpäreistä.
Looks killer and the sound is great.
Siistit ja soundi on hyvä.

Frame work

 Shovel frame that will be changed to fit a EVO-engine. Here the frame is clamped to the frame jig.
 Cut out the part that needs to changed.
 Closeup of pipe before welding.
 The backbone of the frame needs to be extended to fit the engine.
 Looking like a frame again. I use a blowtorch to bend the pipes. I like it more than the pipebender.
 Tank mounts.
  I have these brackets for sale if interested send me a mail:
I wanted to reuse as much as possible the orriginal parts for this bike so the frame needed to be cut and welded a bit to fit the engine, and some blowtorch work.

Summer is over, back to work......

 Some transmission work this time.
 This transmission case has been welded at some time, will fix it. And in bad shape any way.
More welding.
