Care to enlighten me as to what pictures you want? Or worst you just don't like how it looks?

They are too dark. I can't tell the quality of the paint job on the tank.

before I f*ck it up with acetone last night.

hey dude it's looking real good. keep up the good work. Have you tried weighing it at all recently? does your goal still seem realistic?

Mounts done for remote resevoir and coolant bottle.



The mounts drilled to go between subframe and rearset. Did both at the same time so they would have the same spacing and save me more effort . Yet another good use for duct tape.





Testing for hole diameter





Testing for spacing. Perfect fit.





Seperating the two.





Used a torch and bent them into an L





Used the torch again and now they are a Z





Coolant bottle. Gotta get some clamps for that.





Shock resevoir. Gotta find the other clamp I had for that.





Rear shot. Sorry for the bad lighting.





Haven't weighed it yet bro. I am not sure how close to my goal I will be. I think I might actually come close but that damn sealer actually made the tank feel quite heavy. Won't know til it hits the scale.

This is just a photoshop but what are your thoughts on decal like this to cover up the paint fudge up?

Looking great!

Got subframe rear mounts done. Just need to cut them down to size and weld them on now. 1X1" square tubing schedule 100 went way over kill on the sizing but I get the pieces free and it will be WAY stronger than needed so that's fine.



Note I spent like 2 hours dremeling those curves just right so they would hug the surface of the shock mount.

They make these things called drill presses..... Just throwing it out there..

We can't all afford that fancy equipment... I got about a $4000 shopping list that would have made this build a breeze. But since this is not my garage I don't really want to start filling it with those tools just yet. I am moving to my new house next month so I will start to acquire these tools.

Besides how would I have used a drill press to get that curve? Use a huge bit?

Haha, fancy? My lathe was made in 1938. Nothing fancy about it.

Whatever size the shock mount is. Use a bi-metal holesaw of the same dia. and it will give you the curve you need. One hole, two sides, DONE!

Got it tig'd at a shop in Oakville that Inreb directed me too. AWESOME job. The guy is aerospace certified and all that nice stuff.



Nice welds yo!







Mounted in the bike





Subframe slid on





Nut locked down!







Seat section done yo!





Integrated tail light. Just need to make a plate holder now. I also go those plate light bolts. I have some 1/16th aluminum plate for the license plate holder





Various shots

looks nice i wish i got the 400 frame i guess its true the grass is always greener on the otherside only thing id do is grind off the rest of the square tubing from the old subframe on the shock mount tube .

[sweekster]

Impressive work so far Moe. Only thing is this :



As Haro said, clean that puppy up when you can.

[Freestyle72]

Thanks guys I intend on grinding that off when I have the time to get to it. I am also going to powdercoat it so it doesn't rust.

So I am just working on finishing touches to get it rideable. Then I'll worry about finishing the rest on rainy days.

License plate mount. I improvised some stuff off the 09 R6 license plate stuff that I got sent erroneously to me.
The bolts on there are led lights as well.


Back side!


Also made a spot for the regulator/rectifier




R/r hooked up

[zero9243]

does that not need to be water proofed?

[PIMPMYFZR]
