My new garage build thread.

[Exuptoy]

Still have to paint the floor but in these cold temps it can wait until the new season.
I also cast a 16mm rebar loop into the floor when I poured the floor so I need a new chain which won’t mark my wheel. Got my sh!tty chain in there for now.

She’s in!

Not faster.....The stripes will improve my mental well-being, correct the feng shui in the garage and cure all the worlds ills.

Dunno about fen shui but white and blue in my sheds would make me feel cold and cheerless on a winters day, the roller door colour is better, and a smokey magenta stripe would be warmer without being too girly..

 

[Exuptoy]

Haha, well it’s done now and isn’t getting redone until it needs it.

so I need a new chain which won’t mark my wheel.

One of those leather covered ones? Sadly, in these days of battery powered angle grinders the best you can hope for is to slow them down a bit.

Now there's a thought .... who could make a chain cover that would grab the disc much in the same way as chainsaw trousers work ? failing that, stuff it full of smelly grease !

i dont know that red goes well with the rest of the colour in there

this one done is grey colour

 

[Exuptoy]

Especially when your battery grinder is in there with a slitting disc in it!

I reckon you should have done it with some Yamaha speed blocks!
Is that an MT 07, 09 or 10? And what's it like?

Oooh, nice idea! I might just try that. I was thinking of a negative stencil so I could do the YAMAHA tuning fork logo but couldn’t find one I could use. If anyone has any idea where I could find one please let me know.

Mines the MT10 with the front guard from an SP fir the blue highlights, comfort seat, K-Tech rear shock and the front end dialled in to work with the rear. I love it and it’s a lunatics dream! Can be ridden sensibly but often isn’t!!

I’ve purchased a vinyl dealer style wall sign too which should look good.

Paul at whengparts had the yam logo for sale, put it on a piece of thick plastic and cut your own ? Mention my name

[Exuptoy]

Done, cheers mate.

 

[Exuptoy]

Just found a cad file for it but don’t know anyone who could do it in alloy or plastic printed media.
Something around 200mm tall and ideally done in the negative aspect (maybe inside a Frame) so I could use it as a stencil.

[jsf55]

Ask Paul, he knocks stuff out all manners of material, or over on Insta Fun Fonts

 

[Exuptoy]

I have these coming to stencil the image in white on to my blue painted band.

 

[roofman]

Now its looking better with the beast in there all safe and dry mate

 

[Exuptoy]

You’re not wrong matey.

 

[Exuptoy]

Still waiting for the stencils.

 

[anto]

Im kind of annoyed that you are finished.

Can you do another garage build please ?!

 

[Exuptoy]

Haha. Still need to Epoxy the floor but it’s too cold for now. I’m not sticking the Yamaha mat down as it’s still way too dusty.
