XWL "WARBOY" hits the road

soon :a brand-new SpeedoFace in KMpH

the more I see of this bike the more I like it, I do appreciate that sort of attention to detail.

thanks Brit , but ya know :
it's overall an attention to my bucks

cops are watchin'you everywhere , in my country
and for 5 Km/h more than the speed-limit : you're done ( like a rat )

i'll keep ya informed on "what it looks like" when this new speedoface will be in place .

and also : an other thing you'll sure like :

this is the kinda "rabbit" i will soon hang out of my hat :




...actually in painting process ....
one more "cute" detail for my ultimate Libérator

have to admit that the only vehicles I know in France are those endless bus-rides at Paris CDG. I do like the timing cover, by way; where is it from?

just an ugly chrome-cover sold for the HOG members ( in every "good" aftermarket catalog )
i've welded on some fins ...
many sparks flyin'around
hot steel
good afternoon .

" just an illusion" ....
as is the entiere Warboy !

[Pa]

And a very good illusion at that Bro ! Nice work Francis !!! Pa

Pa,,

I will just have to give a AMEN to that!!!

George

that's done .

the color is not exactly what i excpected , but it will work fine for that first time ...

Well
after a serious road-test ; it is clear that the facing i have made is not the good one .

i believed it was enough to convert a speedo in MILES into a speedo in Km:H ....i was wrong .

others components are changing the rules .
particulary my speedo-drive unit , on the front wheel .
this is an FXSTS item...
made for a 21" wheel

and i got a 18"

i have made the road-test with a modern car at my side .

and the result i have found is exactly the same as the facing of an EVO ( early , i believe ) speedo i had layin'around at the workshop .
normally : all the BT Evo speedos i know goes to 220 Km/H
and this one goes only to 180 Km/H
( what model ? what year ? i don't know ! )

anyway : i am on the good way now .
i have made an OTHER new facing :
( not a 45' replica : a new one specially designed for the WarBoy )



the end of the story soon ....

Are you going to teach us how to make speedo faces Fran-6 ? Pa

that's simple :

if you know how to hold a pen
if you have one scanner
if you have AUTODESK sketchbook pro in your computer
if you got PHOTOSHOP
if you got one WACOM graphic tablet

and also if you got the good stickers-printer

it is just like the job is already done .

so bad FHP forum don't accept large pics ....

[Pa]

Ah....It is the hold the pen part which is the most difficult for those of us who are not artistic.

at last that's done !

the new speedofacing in the exact O-D-Green , and the exact markings ...

already installed on the scoot !




i'm ready for the summer !

Looks great Fran-6 ! You never cease to amaze me.

thanks , Pa !

now : the goal is :
" will-i amaze the cops TOO ? "

civilian version for the next project :



this is an other aftermarket ( used )
i have reset all the rollers to zero .
i know : the needle is not the good model , but it's not too late to change it for an airplane style .


Hmmmmm... i think i will change the bezel too ...

and noOOOw , LLLAdies-Z-n'-GENtleMEN !

SHAZAM !

this is the "rabbit" !:
