After many a day with my finger in my @rse, I finally sourced a suitable candidate to join the esteemed ranks of ASF nakedness. Some unlucky style monkey thought it wise to point nose due north with no exit strategy.. oohh sad. So now the plan is to give her a new and some what more exposed existence.. Any pearls of wisdom are most welcome..

[Iceman]

Get a new front wheel. lol

[rod185651]

Excellent mate!!! :D[8D] So I know what we're doing this week end. I'll bring the grinder. ;)

[Bear]

Bring it around to my place once you've got the bits in mind and we'll sort out a wicked paint job. :D

Shorten the rear, unless you want keep pillion.
I can help sort out some stylish radiator covers too, once I've done mine.
Fuggit, I'd like to create a nose/headlight piece too if you're willing? May take some time but could save you some money.

[Booster]

Get the frame checked. wheel touching the fairing and odd tank gaps are a bad sign.
otherwise going to be a fun naked bike

[Chase]

Hey Bear sounds great.. there's no rushin this one and am pretty keen to make it something different! Should get it late this week or early next., then prob take at least 2 slabs of thinking time to get get the ball rolling ;)

[Chase]

Had a few concerns about the frame too, but after getn it checked it is only front wheel (fkd) and the forks are bent - head stock etc is all cool.. and if not it goes to track![8D]

[Booster]

There no big problem :) ebay time ;)

[Chase]

Well it has arrived and the frame is in one piece![8D] I have taken the forks off which need straightening - any suggestions on who to use?

[Bear]

Nick Dole is the man - http://www.teknikracing.com/
He's out Penrith way.

[Hillsy]

Might be worth getting your frame checked out for being straight. With bent USD forks it would've had a pretty big hit and my guess would be the frame being out of alignment.

Nice project starters those R1's ;)

[Chase]

I've done some quick measurements and square sets over the frame and seems to be ok, although getting someone who is qualified is prob not a bad idea. You have to look pretty hard to find the bend in the forks - it's actually more that you can feel a slight rub when compressed than a visual thing.
Any suggestions on who I can get to check the frame who knows their shite?

Thanks for the link Bear. I'm keen to catch up and have a chat about the mask for the bike when you've got time.

[Hillsy]

I had my ZX9 done by Dave Kellett in BNE, but I don't know of anyone reputable down your way. Cost me about $400 to straighten my frame, sub-frame and true the front discs.

[hooligan]

Laurie Alderton can do frame, forks and your wheel (if it's not too fucked)

I dropped in on Steve today to see how the R1 is progressing

[rod185651]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/51989184680613.jpg

Stage one almost complete

[rod185651]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/51989184689248.jpg

Looks like frame is straight, forks were straightened by Ben at Extreme Creations

[rod185651]

Raisers and Bars were supplied and fitted by Ben at Extreme creations

[-Dex-]

Looking wicked Chase.

[Bear]

That's progress.

I'm with Hooli - Laurie Alderton knows his stuff when it comes to frame straightening. Does a good job on alloy rims too, within reason. ;):D
I'm speaking from experience with the rims.

[rod185651]

Hey Steve, check these out, I think something like these, would be perfect for the R1, I spotted it on Des' TL1000 and he was kind enough to pass on the link,

[Chase]

Thanks to Bens' keen eye and great work the forks have been sorted and frame is all good. The original front wheel has been sacrificed to the road gods - managed to pick up another in pretty good nick. As most of the hardliners can see there's not a whole lot of mods being done in stage 1 - it's just to get it over the pits, stage 2 will include some yet to be decided tasty bits..

[Fight_fan]

Awesome work Chase! Its comin along real quick!
Rod is that US dollars? How hard r they to buy through TLZONE? They look gr8! Could use sumthin like that on the 7/11!

[rod185651]

Hopefully suxukifreak can answer all your questions mate

Chase's new discs on the R1.

[Large]

They look like Space Invaders

[Chase]

Damn, I was going for Galaga... Anyone keen to doco their project (even if it looks like an 80's video game) should contact Rod - he's armed with a new camera and not scared to use it!

[rod185651]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/72514862783690.jpg


First test run

[rod185651]

PASS, Now the headlight?

[Chase]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/27822494232246.jpg


It's alive... but need to fk the white off..

Thanks to Stu at AUSFR for the quick delivery.;)

[Lucas]

Coming along really nice and you're sure as fuck not wasting any time are ya;)

Those discs look HOT!!!

[Chase]

Thx Lucas... less time in the shed = more time on the road...

[Chase]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/80805880334893.jpg

Every project needs a crash test dummy...;);)

[Bear]

^^ I hope he realises the door is BEHIND him.

[wackyrider]

Yeah ran the wires (along with choke cable) over the radiator and up under the clamp - used some of the heat shield from the belly pan to case the wires in. The brake cable mounts on the bottom clamp make a good spot to run the wires thru and lock in.

[wackyrider]

cheers

[Chase]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/101692779441034.jpg

Now here's some fine engineering.... maybe I'll let someone else have a crack at it [:o)]

[Chase]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/101692779419627.jpg


Take one stock overflow bottle, add a grinder..

[Chase]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/101692779433301.jpg


... turn upside down, find a suitable plug and some silicon..

[Chase]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/101692779426734.jpg


.. and it all fits so nice..

[HueyonaBlade]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/101692798728558.jpg

Mate thats trick how tight it fits in I just wonder though how will the silicon hold up with the pressure of a running bike[8D]
Oh and BTW how about just an inspection guage and the rest blacked out[?]

[Chase]

Yeah, def looks better blacked out. I think the bottom should be ok - I used a cap that actually screwed into the bottom of the bottle (had to drill out the opening a tad to get it to fit), the silicon is really just to secure it in place. and if it falls to pieces no doubt there'll be something else lying round I can chuck on.

[Chase]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/36106679326802.jpg

Moment of inspiration... pull apart the stock gauge and cut off the lugs...

[Chase]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/36106679332983.jpg


Get the brace from the orig ZX6R number plate holder - make a few bends and drill a couple of holes..

[Chase]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/36106679330113.jpg

Drill and bolt the gauge back to the modified bracket..

[Chase]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/36106679342544.jpg


Bolt new mount to inside risers..

[Chase]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/36106679324434.jpg

[wackyrider]

Hey Chase, what parts do u have left from the original bike? Need to get mine stock for the VIV inspection

[Chase]

Hey Jules, emailed you the details. Also some gear on ebay..

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Yamaha-YZF-R1-1998-2002-Front-Guard-Blue-Slight-Damage_W0QQitemZ130247602238QQihZ003QQcategoryZ352 33QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

[pappas]

Do the risers still clamp down hard on the bars? If you've bolted the bracket for your speedo to your risers it would be reducing the hold of the bars. Wouldn't want the bars spinning forward after a big mono!

[Chase]

All seems good. The risers had a bit of bar exposed when tightened down prior - now with the plate there's prob about a mm of bar visable from the front of the risers. Think it should be cool - will have some sad pics to put up later if not [B)]

[SatinFS]

Top job, it looks sh*t loads better on the inside of the bars.

[Chase]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/95434444334332.jpg

After some mucking round with a hack saw and some alloy strips I finally got the position and size right for the headlight unit mounts.

[Chase]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/95434444336338.jpg


Chucked on some new rizzoma grips, bar ends, and an alloy reservoir I scored cheap on ebay, it's all starting to come together.

[miniman1]

Hey mate, bikes lookin really good. Coming along nicely

[Chase]

Cheers. I need some advice on some stuff.. I'm puttin the bike in for reg shortly and once outta the way I wanna cut off the subframe and replace it with something a bit shorter and higher. Anyone know the regulations on this and best way to approach it?

Thats too funny Huey. but very very true...

[Chase]

*Laughs* ok... helpful, but was lookin for something more around the legalities.

[fimpBIKES]

how thick is the ally on the headlight mounts?

unless its a light MX headlight i wouldnt be going under 5mm or it'll crack after about 6months

[Chase]

yeah good call. The ally is only 3mm and it's a gen headlight off a SV I think, so prob need to take it to exben to get the prof version done.

[Chase]

[Gix11]

Chase's was easily the best looking R1 at Bald Hill on Sunday, and fuck me there were a heap of em up there. I thought I was watching Star Wars "Attack of the Clones" Car Park was full of R1s, Gixxers and the odd Ducati.

[Bear]

Where's Bald Hill?

[wackyrider]

Hey Steve, what's the back seat cover you have? What brand? Looks sweet.

Nice work on the bike mate. Looks shit hot!!

[HueyonaBlade]

Neat as mate , what about some blue on the headlight to tie it in :D

[Chase]

Bike's on the road and rego'd mate.

Cheers for the parts. ALready been out and about on it a bit. And had some guy from work reverse onto it as well!!! [xx(][xx(]

But trying to get cash from the insurance now...

Only fuck up is immigration at the moment. Have to get out of the country as my current visa expires, so I fly out tomorrow and go home for a couple of months.

Hoping to be back here end of Jan, in the meantime I'm leaving the Kwaka and the Yami over here in the shed....[B)][8][}:)]
