Strategically located between the two build areas are this drill press and milling machine, again, ridding the builder of the need to take a long hike through the building to move a project along. Note also the wet/dry vac at the ready to keep the place its usual surgical clean.
On deck in the build area is this Yamaha Road Star. This bike will be Jim's first foray into the Metric jungle. Jim expressed a little trepidation and excitement over this project, as he's not sure of how any of the materials are going to act... like what the engine castings will look like polished, as is his usual practice.
The same basketball player mentioned earlier dropped off this V-twin mini-chopper for the Nasi treatment. Jim's still waiting for inspiration to strike.
Tucked into an alcove of the large-ish room that serves as Service department and Production area are a pair of CNC machines. For those unfamiliar with the devices, the tools needed for a given operation (sitting on the table, center) are loaded into numbered slots in the loader (the inverted pizza dish inside the open machine) where they are automatically equipped, as needed by the computer controlled machining tool to perform multiple operations on a given piece of metal. These machines crank out everything from engine and transmission covers, to mirrors, etc.
The very tastefully decorated service department (opposite the CNC area) is not strictly a repair shop, but more projects that require less intense fabrication capabilities than in the Build Shop. Operations like hop-ups, final assemblies, and (naturally) repair, take place here. Note the clean, uncluttered theme continues.
We finished our tour in the retail store. Avid magazine readers will note that every bike in this room has been (or is going to be) in a magazine. Nasi also has a line of clothing, as seen in the center of the photo.
