@kah tony

Boss nice job. Designing that crash guard must have been the tough job.
Sasa swali, have you redesigned the frame of a bike before? Like the tail end or the handle bar orientation?

No, I haven’t redesigned a frame yet.
However I have an interesting one that I am building for myself.

This is a blow-by-blow account of work on a 1991 Honda Transalp V400.
Jua kali.
Bike belonged to a good friend and regular participator in the Rally Raid.
Brief: Full remake, custom decals and bespoke crash guards.

1. Before.
   Pic taken after restoring broken fairings and matching the plastics from a 600cc version to the tank of a 400cc model.

[ATTACH=full]128089[/ATTACH]
2. The take-down.
Bike all stripped down.

[ATTACH=full]128090[/ATTACH]
3. Designing the crash guards.

[ATTACH=full]128091[/ATTACH]
4. After buying pipes and getting them bent at Gikomba, then welding and a dry fit at the pig sty.

[ATTACH=full]128092[/ATTACH]
5. Fine finishing: Filling weld joints and prepping for paint.

[ATTACH=full]128093[/ATTACH]
6. The final product.

[ATTACH=full]128096[/ATTACH]
7. The owner had me match the new paint to the colour of the saddle. Raw hide from a master craftsman in Laikipia. Brown skin.

[ATTACH=full]128098[/ATTACH]
8. Fuel tank: Midway…

[ATTACH=full]128100[/ATTACH]
9. Hand-cut custom decals.
The bike was renamed from Transalp to Transafro.

[ATTACH=full]128101[/ATTACH]
10. In the meantime, the frame and engine needed some TLC.

[ATTACH=full]128102[/ATTACH]
11. A little mechanical work, clean up and new paint to the frame.

[ATTACH=full]128103[/ATTACH]
12. Fitting stage.

[ATTACH=full]128107[/ATTACH]
13. Project complete.

[ATTACH=full]128108[/ATTACH]
14. Safisha mecho na upskirt ya nduthi.

Mimi kama perfectionist niko na swali.Kwanini hiyo final cage iko tofauti na the original drawing, which seems to be the better choice in terms of aesthetics and performance.Jibu hilo kwanza.Huwa sikosi kiherehere.
