MINI MOTO MAYHEM
- Thread starter Asouter
- Start date
Thanks Colin, I'm getting there...seems I've been modding non-stop with little to show, the frame has been a big lift.
Thanks TwsT, New to this forum and reassuring to see Overclocker staff taking an interest. It's good to see.
I've been doing some cable routing today, I want to run as many cables through the frame as possible (keeps them out of site)
I started with the throttle and display cables, these run from just behind the headstock.
The throttle cable comes out right at the back of the bike, saves me using unsightly cable ties.
The USB connector for the display routes down to the IO panel on the M'board .... I'm guessing you're wondering how I got the big square block through the small round hole ? ...that's just the way I roll dudes :hehe:
Now for the GPU cable ... this was a bit more "interesting" (read P.I.T.A) these run a short distance from inside the frame ...
Down to the GPU getting the individual wires in the right order was entertaining but got there in the end.
I've just noticed that one of the blue sleeves has pulled, (thank you macro shot) I'll have to tease that back in line

Awesome
Thanks man, glad you like
It's amazing what can be achieved with a small amount of swearing and cursing
Funnily enough someone else accused me of witch craft, He wanted to burn me
I was a little apprehensive on this build as I wasn't realyl sure this was going to work... But now you've got the frame powder coated and it's starting to come together with everything shiney and clean, it's looking absolutely awesome. This is definitely going to be one of the most interesting PC's once it's complete. Where are you going to put it? It's look epic sitting on the side of your desk

Thanks DJ, I see where you're coming from with being apprehensive about this build, I don't do renders or detailed plans, I like my builds to develop but makes getting sponsorship difficult (quite understandable)
Happy that you like it, and yeah it's going to look great on the side of the desk, but will kinda draw attention and it's unlikely that I'd get anything done
I've been working on paint and finish, lot's of brackets to paint. While waiting for paint to dry, I have been installing the completed parts.
First up is the motor, the bracket has been painted and lacquered, as has the rear chain guard. The chain tensioner and wheel alignment adjuster (other side) have been made, painted and fitted.
The chain has been fitted (I don't think I can get a gold one) The PSU has been fitted and left me with a big slab of panel to break up. I used the ROG logo that came with the Impact board as the colours fit in well and it kinda reminds me of the Ducati course logo.
The Mayhems logo has also been painted and at the moment is blue tacked into position, (still needs finishing)
Yeah I know lots of waffling but there's a lot going on in the photo
Next up is the radiator, I wasn't happy with the standard colour and paint finish so it needed some "adjustment" easy enough to paint and you've all seen it done before. here it is fitted.
and finally I know there's been a lot of close up shots, so here's a where it's at pic .. enjoy

HOW LONG MAN!!!!
LOL, it's the paint and airbrush work that's taking the time now ... then waiting at least two weeks for the lacquer to harden before it's final sanding, cutting and polish ...

Thats not fast enough
.. get a hair dryer on it lol 
Yeah I've seen those, they're for the Mini Dirt bikes and are a bigger pitch, but for the price it might be worth having a punt to see if it will work, but I'm not to hopeful about it. Thanks for posting
Thats not fast enough
I agree it's not fast enough, it's damn frustrating. At the moment I've hijacked the airing cupboard so hopefully the hot pipes will turn it into a mini oven
