Now was time to spruce up the motor, so i got myself one of these soda blasting guns http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii620/davidjsy/FZR%201000/IMG_7927_zpsa222d90c.jpg Bloody messy process but seemed to do the job :grinnod: http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii620/davidjsy/FZR%201000/IMG_7924_z...

Since i'd repaired the bottom of the tank, i thought it best to seal it, but in looking on the net for the best one, i came across a piece on using electrickery to get most of the rust and shit out first. So gathered the ingredients http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii620/davidjsy/FZR%201000/IMG_6...

I think for the amount of time it took to make them, bearings would be a cheaper option. I would send you the ones i made already but i used them on another job

I turned them out on the lathe to be a precision fit so i wouldn't have to seal them :mrgreen: http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii620/davidjsy/FZR%201000/IMG_6701_zps7ef2d183.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii620/davidjsy/FZR%201000/IMG_6705_zpsfdf8f6a0.jpg I can be a bit anal when it com...

It was at this point that i got a call from my younger bro, who followed in big bro's footsteps and became a welder too :-D The place he worked in had a small powder coating unit that he was going to use to do my bits, but he'd given his notice in and said i needed to get the bits to him soon if i w...

Nice

This is what it looks like



I might hit you up for more info on yours one day

Apparently they are ok for general road use as they don't really become active until you get the revs up a bit and they tighten up, not tried it yet though.
But if the set up you have works then happy days. I didn't know the YZF basket was an upgrade. One of the reasons i joined this forum

On to the exhaust. The bike came with a stumpy Devil can, and as good as it sounded it just wouldn't do for this sort of build. Luckily a mate had an almost brand new Titanium can from an R1, one of his customers brought the bike and changed the can straight away, so i done a deal to do a small weld...

I love the look of that back end :thumbsup: This is the sort of thing I was thinking about doing to mine until I decided to stay stock. Hopefully you'll have a beast of a motor with them mods. Have you sorted out the clutch? Have you thought about a lockup clutch? I've got one that I'm saving for wh...

Nice one

On to the plastics. I'd found some half decent rear plastics on ebay, but some of the lugs were missing so i improvised with a bit of ali and a few screws that'll be filled over and hopefully be stronger than original http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii620/davidjsy/FZR%201000/IMG_6159_zpsc55d3a14...

Thats good to hear as i'm not sure i have everything yet, just need to start putting it together and see whats missing

The thing is with refurbs...you can get a good used original replacement part so easily nowadays... If you do it as a hobby,have loads of dosh and time, access to TIG,machine tools,workshop etc then it is part of the deal... If building to budget and timescale or as a sell on unit then it is no lon...

Next up, foot pegs. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii620/davidjsy/FZR%201000/Screenshot2014-05-24at173337_zps299d29d5.png Just chopped em back a bit and welded a good solid bit onto the end http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/ii620/davidjsy/FZR%201000/Screenshot2014-05-24at173404_zpsf4e10ea1.pn...
