Rolling Chassis – Rockseven

I’m currently getting the rolling chassis completed, as I have a small man-shed and there are currently parts everywhere.

So far –

frame and subframe have been cleaned, blasted and resprayed satin black
welded up the side stand hole and redrilled it, blasted then painted satin black
swinging arm cleaned, blasted and new bearings fitted
- stock is single bearing and o-rings which is crap, I fitted 2 sealed bearings each side plus an extra seal on the exposed side
rear wheel – rebuilt with new hub, spoke nipples, seals and bearings
- gallery below shows using a blow torch, gentle heat, and internal bearing puller, makes removing bearings a pice of cake
airbox stripped and cleaned – issues with captive nuts – for another day!
rear caliper rebuilt plus new piston – I use an airline on low pressure to pop pistons out
- ktm 28mm piston was very expensive at £40, and my local dealer was out of stock, did some measurements and bought a brembo car caliper piston for £9, same part, wtf?
new brembo ceramic rear pads
rear master cylinder rebuilt
new rear brake line fitted
new rear mudguard fitted

new throttle
new renthal grips
front wheel cleaned – new bearings and seals
front brake caliper rebuilt

ufo supermoto front mudguard fitted
- junked the CCM cable guide and fitted a plastic ktm one. required spacers – plastic 10mm OD x 5mm h x 6mm ID
