My new JH600

[Pfaelzer]

Very nice job on the toolbox, I really like what you did. I assume the new mudguard and the toolbox are both made out of the same material?

What's next?

Hi Barry,
the material grade of the aluminum is 7075 - pretty hard but cannot be bent well - therefore welding. The project is not finished yet - I found the box a bit small and on top of that, when doing a ride this morning, I had to break hard, forcing the front spring to bottom out (have not installed the progressive springs yet) and the 21inch front wheel touched the box. I have to re-think the design. I am sure the box works well on the original 19 inch front wheel.

Next? The list is still big. As mentioned the progressive springs and a different choice of fork oil, I still got the new horn from chinabiker on my desk, then the front fender needs to be extended - too much dirt comes up to the engine and everywhere when riding in mud, got to work on the light as well...

It takes time and on top of that I started to ride out on my old CJ750 again, which I really like a lot these days and which slows down progress on the JH600.

Did you already choose a ride in Beijing, Barry?

Greetings,
AW.
