Bits and Bobs..

Its got to a stage where i cannot progress any further with the front forks, rear shocks or wheel rebuilding, as I'm waiting on parts to be shipped..
Right..
Better take some more stuff apart then...

Rear drive assembly removal..

shock off

rear spindle out,

bit of a bugger this, as a washer had got lodged on to far up the spindle..

bit of wd40 and 15 minutes did the trick

wheel off

Exposed drive assembly innards, (brakedrum side)

'bike' with rear wheel removed resting on a awesome frame.

final drive assembly

final drive assembly removed

cardan shaft (prop shaft) - then removing rear swing arm..

rear swingt arm and cardan (prop) drive shaft

as is now.

there's not much left now..
i hadnt got that dirty removing all this stuff, so i felt i needed to do some grinding/sanding.

This is all the other stuff i actually removed. (rear swing arm, horn, front head stock pivot and bottom yoke, rear brake pedal assembly, and 2 clips from the sidecar boat.)

rear swing arm

cleaned

painted

All the crap rubber bits off the rear swing arm, and the main drive coupling. Some new ones are needed i think.

I also looked at cleaning up the bottom yoke and its associated bearings, forgot to take some 'before pics, so here's some after ones..

nice clean bearings, ready for greasing

Bottom yoke with pivot spindle and bearings

'steering' assembly complete - all i need now are the completed front forks, front wheel, handle bars and a painted bike frame..

while i was doing the headstock bearings i also cleaned up the front wheels bearing set..

 

Some more cleaned parts..

As new, painted cardan (prop) shaft

Painted, reassembled horn

And now on the the first bit of proper mechanics i guess..

Final Drive assembly

Final drive innards

the gear looks amazing. no wear at all..

same for the inside. I did wonder where all the oil that was supposed to be inside was though

cardan shaft connector

cardan shaft connector removed (and upside down picture)

some cosmetic cleaning is needed

here too

better

also good. Could do a bit more, but this will suffice for now.

more cleaning

better, could used a bit more.

inside cleaned components

Cleaned cardan shaft coupling..
