Turpakäräjät @ Ullan Pakari - 7th of October 2020 - Riihimäki, Finland

Here is my last set of photos from 2020 and throwback to meet from week 41 😊 As days were starting to get shorter and shorter and amount of daylight running low when I took these photos I decided to wait until springtime to visit this meet next time. Until then check out how my season ended!

'73 Suzuki GT250 - Part 15 - Sidestand

Once I got my GT250 on its wheels it was time to fabricate a sidestand for it which allowed me to not keep it on a mechanic stand all the time. I wanted to use bar and spring from a sidestand I had kept from one of previous my bikes and utilize stock mount on the GT250 frame. This way I only needed to fabricate a bracket in between them. 

Assembly of sidestand bracket

Dimensions for plate

Dimensions for blank

Piece of flat bar bent with a press brake

Bolt holes drilled and edge trimmed

Holes for pin and bar drilled and profile of edge cut

Dimensions for pin

I didn't have 10 mm round bar so I utilized a piece
from a long enough M10 bolt to make the pin

Pin welded to the plate

Dimensions for support plate

Support plate tacked to the plate

First mock up


Bar was bit too long so it had to be shortened



I also reinforced stock sidestand mount on the frame which I had previously hacked after cutting unnecessary parts from the frame such as stock footpeg mounts.

Starting point

Unnecessary pieces cut off

Piece of square tube...

...tacked..

...and welded to stock sidestand mount

Bottom side ground flat and edge profiled

Turpakäräjät @ Ullan Pakari - 9th of September 2020 - Riihimäki, Finland

Here are first photos from a local car meet which I've been visiting for the past month after my summer holiday. Bit of a shame that I haven't done that before but it has been nice to test out more my new camera after a long break of events due to Covid-19. Meet is organized each Wednesday at a local bakery and cafe/restaurant called Ulla's Pakari. I have plenty of photos from past few meets which I'll be sharing in upcoming months 😎
