I thought I’d post a few pictures of the Dnepr, which is now down to a pair of frames and a sidecar body.\u00a0 I’ve been working late\u00a0over the past few weeks, but I did manage to get the Dnepr disassembled.\u00a0 All the parts have been set aside and labelled.\u00a0 The sidecar frame still has its swing arm mounted, but I should get that final piece off next weekend.<\/p>\n

When the weather warms I’ll continue with the removal of the paint, sanding and sandblasting, then prepping all the pieces for painting.\u00a0 I still have not received the new forks, exhaust pieces or wheel rims.\u00a0 I have received some other interesting new parts, however.\u00a0 The new 6-circuit fuse panel will replace the original 4-circuit unit.\u00a0 The new fuse panel includes an automotive-grade 30 amp relay to relieve the heavy switching duties from the ignition key.\u00a0 The maintenance-free electronic ignition unit will replace the original breaker-point system, and I’ve even received vintage-looking cloth-covered spark plug wires.\u00a0 The new stainless steel spokes arrived from Germany, ready for lacing the\u00a0old hubs to the new rims once they arrive.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for more updates.<\/p>\n
