From Issoire to Wolfach is 650km.

For me (from Genemuiden Netherlands) to Wolfach is the same distance ;)

This is near the place where I did my army service a long long time ago ! I have always wanted to go back there someday, this may be a good opportunity who knows ? :mdr

Tis is THE opportunity ;)

We'll drink on that :alcooliques

What is a long time ago?

I have a small update. I did'nt like the original Voxan CR front fender in my new setup. So I bought a fender from a Moto Guzzi Griso and make it to fit on the Voxan Fork.

I like it so far. Grey remains Grey, and yellow will be black.

Salut, intéressant le remplacement de garde boue avant. Les modifications sont-elles importantes?

En tout cas, très belle préparation! :champion

In any case, very nice works!

Hi! Not important, but I like this setup more. Changes are nog big. I only need two little mounts at the "rear legs" of the fender.

Cleand up my workshop yesterday, and did some small things to the Vox.

The blue filling block at the rearshock was blue, and now it is black, because Vox88000 wanted that :lol

Bike is back on the frontwheel again, and the rear is on the paddock.
I removed the temporary home made engine stand, so the exhaust system could be replaced. First I cleand it up a little bit.

I put one of the new mufflers just for the photo.

Uitlaatsysteem er weer onder. Ziet er netjes uit zo. Heb het uitlaatsysteem bewust niet in nieuwstaat gepoetst, want wil dat de boel gelijk matig verkleurd met de nieuwe dempers.

En overzichtsfoto voor zover dat kan met nieuwe demper er even los aan gehangen.

Hmmmmmmmm like it!

Made the subframe tubes in sight black. Did it with a brush. Next year the subframe goes to the powdercoater like the other stuff .

Frank L. · Message par **Frank L.** » lundi 03 mars 2014 21:18

The seat just looks perfect!
I wonder how you will fixate the mufflers? I would love to see it "free floating", with no fixation at all. But I am afraid that won't work.
Any plans to reduce weight?

Cheers, Frank

JFJ · Message par **JFJ** » lundi 03 mars 2014 22:48

Hey Frank,

What do you mean with reduce weight?

The new exhaust mounts will be fitted on the same place as the old ones.
Here you can see how it is going to be. (picture from a while ago)

They are nicely coated black now, and soon on the bike.
