The Bomber build moves on, these bad boys arrived today, ordered a week ago yesterday from China, estimated delivery 19th-30th June, were at Charles De Gaulle Airport at 4.00pm yesterday. The front wheel to fit these is being hand built at a local wheel building company, will take about 5 weeks for completion.

This will take the cost to Ā£2800.00ish, but to buy one outright would have cost this.

Ok Bomber Fans, had to wait four days for a piece of aluminium tube to arrive to act as a drift, in the first phot is the bottom bearing case sitting on a taper about 8mm from its home position, got the drift a perfect size not to damage the base, a couple of taps with the hammer and bingo.

Ready now for the top ballrace.

This guy needed a drift, you will see why.
Bloody amature.
Would you credit it, this was ordered from China on the 7th (tree days ago) and arrived this morning.

Fitted the forks, and rear disc, Sur ron should be here in a week or so.
This is the rear brake disc fitted to the wheel, there is a shim fitted, but until the caliper is fitted on the frame, and the wheel offered up, wonāt know if this is required.

Top ball race is fitted, as you can see there is still about an inch of fork stem visible above the handlebar stem, I donāt want to cut the fork stem so have ordered more spacers to take the difference up, then the threadless cap can be fitted and job done.

This is the brains of the Bomber, a Sabvoton Controller, might be calling on Foxy a bit later on.

Rear wheel plonked in place, because the frame is designed to take a variety of wheels, the use of spacers is necessary, in this case 2 X m16, 8mm, this will center the wheel then the rear caliper mounting bracket will have to be shimmed out to line up with the disc.

Very impressive Spitty !!
But what are the pedals for ??
I wouldānt fancy pedaling that thing very far ??
Donkeyman!
DM, the Pedals are there for it to sort of qualify it as an electric bicycle. My Sur ron is a road legal electric motorcycle, registered with DVLA, the Bomber once fully assembled will also be road legal, and the pedals swopped for foot pegs.
Here are the spacers now fitted, as you can see the rear caliper mounting bracket is now about 8mm further away from the disc so, spacers are used between the swing arm and the caliper bracket to line things up.

An interesting project Spitty, just donāt forget the GT stripe as the final jobā¦ 
The Bomber Battery, this would power a few Mobile Phones.

Battery with controller temporary sitting on it as a trail fit, got to work out a way of fixing the controller independently

Made my own spacer for the rear caliper mount but its still about 3mm short. I will pack out the distance with washers then, when bang on take a measure and order spacers accordingly.

The kids have been taking the mick, they keep saying this to me.
Arise Sur ron, more tea Mr Bike?

The controller has been bolted to a metal case and inverted under the frame. Two 1/2" self tappers hold the case on the one side, on the side with the G clamp I need 2 X 3/4" self tappers which i will collect later, then, the wiring up can start.

Nice looking machine Spitty, is it classed as a pedal cycle or a motorcycle?
