nice dose it wheelie?????????

Iceman

I made the dash myself, it's amazing the difference a piece of 5mm polished alloy and $12 worth of warning lights can make. As for the pipe, all orignal just a splash of flame proof paint, the can did have an arguement with my mates 9 inch grinder and cam off 60% shorter and de-baffeled. a quick polish and Robert's your mother's brother.
Lack of talent and ability prevents proper wheelies, but due to a unexplainably harsh front brake,( i'm talk'n around 2cm movement in lever.)it does quite afew uncalled for stoppies and a great burnout.

innovative use of what ya got.... clean ..... well done.....we all start somewhere..

I gather that's a stock can ya cut down????


might be worth getting one of those little LED interior lights for cars and clip it onto your crossbar to light ya speedo seein as ya got no tach .... the main problem the cops have with those speedos is ya can't see 'em at night


would be awesome fun in the tight twistys

Iceman
07-01-2006, 06:56 PM
I've been wonder'n what to do with the speedo, seeing as I leave for work at 6am and wear a tinted visor I normal just go by noise level

Where did you get your bar end mirror its exactly what im lookn for for my blade is it a pushy one?

thats kool, the front brakes are a thing many riders,especialy stunt riders, would kill for, Keep up the good work.

Iceman
10-01-2006, 09:18 PM
Yes, the mirror is for a pushie. just had to drill a bigger hole to except the bolt for the bar end. Only cost $8.95. Let me know if you can't get hold of one you like, cause I've got a one spare in the shed (somewhere).
A word of advice, always make sure bar end mirrors are securly fastened, as it is very distracting when they spin downwards and fall onto the road.

nice ride ice! dig the exhaust, bet its got a note to! i love your warning light panel, looks great, mind if i borrow the simple idea for mine? seems like you got it sorted.

Iceman
11-01-2006, 03:35 PM
It does sound pretty cool.

If you see something you like dRRew, by all means use the idea. After all, isn't that what it's all about, sharing ideas, info and experiences.

Iceman
12-01-2006, 08:56 PM
Davo, she still can't understand why a bloke needs three bikes and a ute, so I doubt I'll get out of it that easy

12-01-2006, 09:01 PM
3 bikes ,a ute and a divorse will help her understand

Iceman
12-01-2006, 09:07 PM
Yeah, but 1 and a 1/2 bikes, 1/2 a ute and live'n at mum and dad's doesn't sound that apealing to me!:(

12-01-2006, 09:08 PM
especially when you try to ride that half bike eh? :)

Iceman
12-01-2006, 09:10 PM

I think I'm just about ready for the fools run. Done afew subtle changes since the last photos were posted. New headlights, speedo, biggest tyre I could get on without fowling anything, removed rear pegs, made a exhaust hanger and chain guard, removed the crashknobs, made a crashcage. Basically alot of little stuff most people wouldn't even notice.

I was happy with the result of removing the rear pegs as it really opened up the rear of the bike, showing as much of the back wheel as I could. The only down side is that now I think the tail looks too long. Been toying with the idea of putting R6 tail on.

Ah Tone, I forgot to mention, I moved from my address before Christmas but a mate of mine now rents it off me and told me he had some post for me. I told him to open a parcel while I was on the phone to him and he told me there was a beer in there. I told him to stop fuckin' about and tell me what was really in there and he said "yea, a beer". I've just worked out what's going on. It was from you. You mad bastard, you really did send one! Nice work mate, I best get round there before the bugger drinks it.... Cheers.
