Locks

While the frame is away at the welders I decided to do a small job and investigate the seat and fuel tank locks. The helmet seat lock doesnt have a key and is busted, Im not sure if I bother getting a replacement, the seat latch on both sides work which is good enough for now.

And also the tank lock is fully operational but needs a tidy, I might consider a pattern replacement.

Frame Welding

Today I dropped the frame off at the welders to have the rear engine and shock mountings welded. Also there was a hairline crack on the front section of of the frame where one of the tension bars would mount for the native YPVS engine, this will be repaired. Images below show where I have started grinding away at the crack to get a flush weld.
