- | + | <gallery widths=100px heights=90px perrow=7 caption="This is an experiment with making the Lucas Lighting system more efficient on my bikes. I really thing its a bit overshoot to have a 15W bulb fitted at the rear. I made simple circuit with 3 rows of 8 HB (High Bright) LEDs. Each row draws about 150 mA. - So At normal light it draws 150 mA, and when the brake light are applied, It draws a staggering 450 mA ( 0.45 A ). And the LEDs has another great property, they are 100% shock resistant, and almost never has to be replaced. No more changing the rear bulbs on my bike..."> | |

The Assembly:
The parts are now properly cleaned and ready for inspection and assembly:
It was quickly obvious that a new cam bus was needed, so the old one was removed.

I decided to try to make a Bobbing project of my VB600, to se if I could make a Ariel that would apeal more to the younger Generation.
Warning: no parts were hurt, destroyed or molested during this operation. Bobbed parts were made from old parts that needed restoration anyway like the rear wheel. Instead of dismantling the functioning rear wheel to use the hub in another rim, I found a unrestored rear wheel and restored the hub for the new rim.
Taking the bike apart, This is a joy when you know its going to be as new when its assempled again.
The Frame will be supported at the end, and a frame to fit the Number plate will be made to fit the side of the fender support. To do this leagaly, you will have to comply with the following:
- The numberplate should be readable from an angle of 45 degrees to the sides - It must be over 30 cm over the ground. - It must not be tilted more than 30 degrees from vertical position. - Must be supplied with numberplate light (Not red rear light) - Rear fender must be supplied with rear light + brake light. (not the numberplate light)
Making the Numberplate mount:
Making the Seat:
My fenders send to the Painter,
Recieved the fenders from the painter, and that is realy an impressive job!!
Mounting the fenders
Funny enough, it looks like amoped when a person of 2 meters are sitting on it (-:
