BC1100 wanna be vintage, just for fun class
Well today I didn't smoke a fatty but I did discuss with my buddy down the street about making the chain guard out of sheet metal . When Doug was here during New Years he brought his nanza up . So while it was here I made cardboard template of the fiberglass repop that he has on it .
I really need to get this done so I can get it and the fenders and the fork lowers to the chrome shop . I'am also going to have all the nuts and bolts and what ever else is zinc plated to to plater .

Today I got started on the chain guard. I know this is not a stock guard but they are impossible to find and the fiberglass repop said don't get it . So I have no choice but to try to make one . I know I will hear this is a non stock part but oh well that's just the way it gonna be .
My first thought was to make it from steel and have it chromed , well my buddy Craig has some scrap 304 stainless just laying around so that what we're using . This way it can be polished and save me some money on chromeing . So far all is cut and shaped except the round dome shaped center which is gonna be a little harder to do . I'am also starting the polishing prior to welding it up . Here are some pics of its construction down at the hot rod

Well the chain guard has not got anymore done to it , been lazy . But today I did start up the 3 hp tech that I got from ( joker ) on the site . I was told it ran but the carb needed cleaning . I put the carb that was on my HS 50 and she started right up and ran fine with no smoke . So that is great news , the motor won't need any work besides cleaning and paint .
