the Elite/Spacy tail light like it probably was designed by Honda

I guess the design department of Honda intended to make the tail light in between the indicators, but ended up with it being somewhere dangling at the bottom.
My plan is to fix it and put it back where it looks best.
I could easily remove the decal and the metallic paint at the back with thinner. I will make a new housing for the light and place the glass back with a red semi transparent foil.

working on the new Helix exhaust

Apologies from the lack of posts. Too many unimportant distractions. 
I've been working on the Helix exhaust, finding the parts. I plan to do a long and straight pipe, probably with a separate extension, so I can still park it in the workshop. This setup is still too long, but the stainless pipe has the right diameter.

the Helix on new shocks

Finally finished the new shocks for the Helix. Front 245mm instead of 295mm, the back is now 270mm instead of 315mm. I like the new stance, but definitely need a custom exhaust.
Also coated the underskirt in the Mulberry Red, a great color...

the subframe part1 is on the frame

Today Jeroen welded the subframe. It fits nicely between the frame and side panels. The right engine cover sits right behind the side panel. This Friday I'll try to make the bottom part of the sub. A triangle from the center stand bolts to the sub.

drawings for the subframe and swing arm CH250 Spacy/Elite

I'm making drawings for the subframe and swing arm by making templates on paper from gaskets and pin gauges. After scanning them into the computer I use Adobe Illustrator to make dxf files.

working on the stretch subframe CH250 Spacy Elite

I'm working on the subframe to determine how long it needs to be. The clearance between the wheel and the spring was practically zero so I made the offset 45mm instead of 41mm. I'll be making a 4 mm spacer between the hub and the wheel. i hope I won't have to adjust the frame for the cylinder head.

Deep purple beauty in the workshop!

Yep, the time has come. The CH250 Spacy/Elite has his big brother in the workshop. It is a 1994 Helix with a beautiful deep purple colour is very good condition.The overall state is pretty nice, it only needs an engine check and a new clutch. It has 48,000 kms on the speedo.

I plan to coat the grey fairing in the same deep purple color, drop it 5cms and an XXL longshot exhaust. Plus a new matching upholstery.

I'm a happy man...
